Hi everyone I’ll be moving to Tokyo for 6 months in about a week and want some advice on my budget and savings. I have about $18,000 for six months that I’ll be living off of and want to try to come back with around 8-9k, I’ve already payed tuition and 2 months rent
My rent+utilities are ¥83,000
Groceries ¥27,000 (I can eat really basic meals)
Phone ¥5,000 ( Im lost on a plan if someone had advice on that too)
Entertainment/going out ¥26,000
Transportation ¥17,000 (I want to walk a lot to explore)
- I don’t know how much health insurance is for students or if there’s any other things I may be missing since I’ve never lived alone
I’d really appreciate any advice especially because I’ve never been to Japan
