You would love to live in Lisbon, where the avg salary can barely rent a ROOM…let alone the rest.
Was just in Tokyo and the prices have not changed much in 16 years it’s so cheap now but I guess if you live there it could be worth expensive as wages have not gone up too
Tokyo sounds miserable. Most expensive city in the world and shitty wages to show for that.
Man even if it's expensive, I HAVE to visit Japan… Also to do some street-interviews for my channel.
So far I have only made videos from Brazil and Argentina
I does seem expensive but I live in California USA and it is very expensive. Coming to japan this sept so excited to see the country. The third guys she interviewed making $2100 was so handsome and friendly. I am surprised people are willing to say how much they make on this. I would never do that
excellent reporting @asianboss
Wow, as someone who lives in the suburbs of Chicago, I found this incredibly interesting. I had thought this was a problem unique to my area. My parents were able to buy a home here for 180,000 and it is now worth over $400,000 with little work done to improve the house. I feel younger millennials will never know home ownership unless we move further away from the city where the wages tend to be lower but the cost of living is also somewhat lowered. Inflation is truly hurting the world, we will never be the same again. Perhaps destined to rent forever.
650 a month rent? more expensive? do I need to move to Japan and save 73% on rent? wow I need to leave the US
Singapore is more expensive than Tokyo !
Hi Asian Boss, could you do a coverage on Japan pouring nuclear waste into the ocean which is shared by everyone???
Japanese people doesnt feel thanks, 200.000 yen is enough for living. The problem is life style.
I used to work in Tokyo back in 2017 as foreigner in IT… 235k for my first job was very doable.
**Make about Bangkok please
Should change the title to "How Expensive is Living in Tokyo for young adults?".
Tokyo is not expensive for foreigners at all. It still has that reputation from the 80s, but after 30 years of deflation, slow economic growth, and a weak yen, Tokyo is not expensive at all. It is probably THE cheapest tier 1 city in the world. Let me clarify – that is for foreigners. People in this video make shockingly low salaries in Tokyo, so it is probably still very expensive for Japanese. Salaries are too low in Japan. Inflation is actually a very good thing for Japan. Hopefulyl their salaries start rising, because they're too low and they're still getting paid like it is 1996.
Here in Los Angeles, you would be lucky to get a one-bedroom apartment for $2,000 a month
I no longer know the name of the interviewer but you could also have asked her opinion of the black girl who also had to live in Tokyo and who seemed to understand Japanese very well.
In fact, renting a studio in Tokyo when you are a student or young employee is not that expensive, I studied in Paris, France and you had to pay 1000 euros (1089.15 USD) at least per month for a 160 ft² studio.
This is totally not related to the interview details itself but the girl interviewing them sounds so harsh and if I were being interviewed by her I would feel so uncomfortable… I think she has a foreigner style of interviewing which is a bit intimidating for a Japanese 🙈 a little too 早口and too straight to the point in asking
(You can actually see some of them getting a little bit uncomfortable too)
It is totally acceptable to live with parents lifetime. Only bastards will kick out their children and then buy dog. If you don’t want children then don’t give birth in first place. My son can live with me, no issue rather it’s good then living alone. Also joint family grandparents and grandchildren company each other which is very healthy.
😂, come to mumbai guys and you'll get know that japan's tokyo is far more cheap .
Talking about ( decent lifestyle) .
Asian Boss should do this in Shanghai where people’s wages are rising and money these office worker made in Tokyo would be peanuts.. I’m hiring a new grad and they demand at least 10k RMB for a much much cheaper city (except property buying).
I like the last guy
The girl at 10:28 at is totally my type, she's beautiful. She looks like a yummy Latino-Japanese mix !
Live with urgency – your visit will be over before you know it.
Wow in the US at least in my state rent is $2000-$3000. I am definitely visiting Japan didn’t realize how dirt cheap they were.
Is living with around 110.000 yen a month possible? If I get the scholarship that I applied for I`d have to get around with that amount of money, and people in japanese embassy in my country said it`s enough for student life, but hearing them all saying they need 250.000yen at least makes me rethink my decisions lol
It's really the small things. I remember when we could buy an onigiri, a burger or a big loaf of bread with ¥100. Not anymore 🙁
With the yen being really low at the moment, salaries, housing etc may seem cheap when you put the price in USD, but really, Tokyo is expensive when you get paid in JPY.
I live 60 mins away from tokyo. I cant imagine paying 1/2 of your monthly income just for rent when I am only paying around $400 for a 2bedroom apartment.
I visited Japan as a tourist and was so shocked how everyone dressed so well. I imagine their outfits are like $200 USD, but if the average monthly is less than $2000 USD, how are they affording this?? I visited uniqlo, and the prices there are similar to the USA prices. I make above average but I spend less than $200 a year on clothes. It's a culture shock for me!
Cost of living is relative. It all depends on salaries, cost of goods, utilities, housing, etc. Here in San Diego California, the average 1 bedroom rents for $2,500, even 500sqft studios go for that price. We were recently rated more expensive than New York City. Minimum wage I believe is $17.50 which clearly won't make enough to rent an apartment. The average cost of a meal is about $11 unless you eat terrible fast food. Gas and electric are the highest in the US. If I lived in Tokyo making my same salary, I would be able to live much more comfortable.
I think people also forget that prior to the pandemic, 100 yen used to be almost about a dollar, but since then, the value of the yen has decreased due to various factors.
if you think Tokyo is expensive, please come to Sydney and take a look…
i'm in australia, weekly rent 400$ 🥲
インタビューされた人たち、仕込みだろ。コメント力がよすぎるぞ！
just my personal thoughts, I saw most of the peps in the comments are either from Europe or America ( Western countries) and how they find it cheap to live in Tokyo, or that it’s not expensive….but as someone from Asia, I think Tokyo is quite pricey. Idk if its because Western countries have bigger currencies and stuff, that’s why they find it cheaper, but as someone from Asia who’s currency is almost equivalent to the Japanese currency…. Tokyo is pricey. Like recently when I searched for normal stuff like clothes, bags, umbrellas,etc. All cost more than where i’m from (double or triple the price). Other things like taxis prices are so crazy ,they can cost up to 8.800~9.800yen for 24km, like for the same distance it cost app. 1.500yen for where i’m from.
There are always pockets in the city anywhere in the world that are ultra expensive. In Canada even you choose a place that is 1-2 hrs away from downtown you will only probably pay 10-15% cheaper that is called broken housing system 😂
Now inflation in japan is higher than usa 😂😂
Although the people interviewed were not regular company workers and not representative of the whole population, I definitely see an erosion of the middle class here. Rich are getting richer and poor are getting poorer. Fewer Japanese go overseas for a holiday now due to the weak yen and tightening of purse strings. That said, in my opinion JP is one of the safest places in the world to live and has the best healthcare. I'd prefer to have those 2 things over getting a higher wage.
No country is perfect, here in Brazil we have plenty of food, but we can get shot and die in the middle of the street….getting robbed….🙈
I make $2450 a mo and share rent by paying around $550 for a 1200 Sq ft home. I think their costs are more expensive especially since it's all apartments their talking about.
I thought the rental is not high compared to the price to purchase an apartment. USD700K to purchase but USD750 to get a room or small studio is not too expensive. In Singapore now the price for a bedroom is around USD700 too and the worse thing is we don't really have a rural area option. But to balance things, we do have cheap food options while food in Tokyo is generally more expensive.
Is that net income?
01:59 I want his Instagram
Japan is so poor 😅😅
Japan is poor country now.
If i could have my salary and live in Tokyo I would be living super comfortably
In china everything became cheaper and cheaper and people getting happily
Asian boss media is south korea owned company. You’d better focus you’re own country more.
That was fascinating and really enjoyed listen to the guy from Yokohama and the guy with Glasses was interesting too. I see the cost of living also affecting people in Japan, as much as it's affecting us in Australia especially on the east coast.
