So recently I’ve been in search of jobs in Japan and have landed an offer for one in Yokohama. As a foreigner traveling I’ve always felt like the cost of everything was way smaller than the US but in having a Japanese salary which would be a cut from my current job I’m a bit worried about the actual hit on my bank account when I move. In particular the hiring agency mentioned that they’ll help me in searching for an apartment but the initial cost to the real estate agent would be around 400,000¥? I know there are differences compared to the US and I’ve heard of the difficulties foreigners have had searching for apartments but is that price realistic? Also are there other costs that I should have in mind besides the usual moving?
