Cost of Living in Japan

Living Standarts

Japan is one of the most expensive countries in the world, thanks to Tokyo, which is the most expensive city in the world. Transportation, lodging and food are very expensive unless you visit the rural areas where the cost of living is still reasonable. Japan’s economy grows 5% every year and current inflation contributes to the rapidly changing prices on all essential items. Japan still has affordable places to shop for clothing and flea markets provide the locals, as well as visitors, with merchandise that is reasonably priced.
