Hi all! I've done a ton of searching but I'm coming up with contradictory answers so I figured I'd ask here.
I'm moving to Tokyo for school in January. And I'm just trying to figure out what my buck will get me, so to speak. I'm coming from New York, so small apartments aren't an issue. What's a realistic amount to expect to pay monthly in the Sumida/Koto/Edogawa area?
Alternatively, what's life day to day like in those areas? My understanding is that Edogawa is much more residential (and cheaper), but is life still reasonably ok there? Are there any parts in the area to actively avoid? Wheras Sumida and Koto are still 'big city' areas of Tokyo even if they are across the river.
Basically I'm working on my budget in advance, and I'm trying to figure out roughly what I'll need to pay monthly, all of the upfront costs notwithstanding.
Thanks!
