Hi everyone! I’ll be moving to Japan in about a month for a research stay abroad as part of my PhD, and I’m trying to figure out how much cash I’ll actually need there.
I know Japan still relies more on cash than many European countries, but I’d like to get a realistic idea of how much people usually withdraw per month.
I’m asking because I need to upgrade my Revolut plan and choose between one that allows €400 or €800 (around 73.500 JPY or 147.000 JPY) monthly withdrawals.
To have more context: I won’t really be living like a tourist, apart from maybe a couple of weekend trips per month, so most of the time I’ll just have a normal day-to-day life (commuting, groceries, eating out once in a while, etc.). I already know that my rent will be 46.000 JPY cash.
