Hello beautiful people. I recently have gotten a new exciting, but somewhat uncertain, offer in life, and i need some counseling from those with better knowledge and experience.
My Japanese friend who lives in Osaka runs a small Hostel on the outskirts of the city, that has been ran for quite many years and is on stable grounds.
What my friend has so kindly offered me, is to move to Osaka and work at that Hostel, with the goal of making it a more international focused business than domestic.
But while i am aware that the pay i have been offered is not great, i want to get some more perspective of how survivable such pay would be in a city like Osaka. Because directly converting Yen to my local currency does not tell much of a story at all.
Especially with the different degrees of inflation there is in Japan and Europe.
The monthly pay that had been discussed, is 200,000 Yen ２０万円, and it would be in the general area of Kadomashi, so not in central Osaka.
Is it a sum that would be somewhat survivable in the city, or would it be basically surviving paycheck to paycheck in todays climate?
(This is all taken as a basic simple lifestyle, without big expenditures)
Any thoughts or opinions are appreciated
よろしくお願いいたします！
