Hello everyone 🙂
As the title already says it: After my studies, I am planning on fulfilling a life-long dream of mine and I will be traveling to Japan for one year as part of the "working holiday visa" which grants me one year of staying and working in Japan.
However, I am a little stumped on the costs. I am planning on working there as little as possible to enjoy the travel apect more than anything. Luckily enough, money is not going to be the major issue for me, but I do need to plan accordingly to adjust my savings.
Currently, I am expecting the following monthly costs:
| Source | Cost |
|---|---|
| Rent | 80k Yen |
| Food | 80k Yen |
| Entertainment | 30-50k Yen varying per month |
| Transport | 10k Yen |
| Health Insurance | 5k Yen |
| Various Costs (phone, internet, housekeeping material, etc) | 15k Yen |
What's your take on this? Are those numbers accurate? What are some things that I still need to account for? Note that my journey will only start in two years, so things might change – but the earlier I am aware of the costs, the better.
