    Have a look at

    http://tokyo.asiaxpat.com/property/serviced.asp

    you can see rent starts at 315,000 per month (3,266 dollars) and rise to 1,500,000 yen per month (15,555 dollars).

    The popular areas are Aoyama and around Omotesando station/near the Prada shop. Hiro and Roppongi are also popular.

    This site looks like it has all the answers for you.

    I can have a good night out on 5,000 yen (50 dollars) so you can multiply this a few times over because expats aren't thrifty.

    Get rid of your internet, cable & cell phone "plan." Get a pre-paid phone instead. Shop at Farmer's Markets. Buy versatile clothing~ ones you can mix & match. Hope even this little bit helps.

    Depends on the size of the apartment, bedrooms, neighborhood, amenties. You werent real specific. Not sure if your single or have kids what you bring in per month or where in the country you are.

    But if you are in the midwest you can expect to pay between $495-$515+ for a 1 bed room in a good neighborhood or $525-$650 for a 2 bedroom in good neighborhoods. But I would say with everything included around $1100 – $1200 if your single and your responsible with money. Family of 3 $1500 – $1800+. If you have car payments, daycare then you can add another $400-800 to the total above!

    I am looking for such info as well….the local newspaper. They list all available apts and the going rates. When you visit the aprtment they might be able to give you idea on cost of utilities, and you might call comcast yourself…Some large apt complexes have special rates.

    Check the paper. Forget Craig's List…too many day-dreamers looking for mansions, with pools, on the beach for squat.

    On the right side of the web page, directly underneath the picture of me where it says “TokyoCooney” is a text box. In small blue text it says “more info” click that and read the text description of the video. I believe in you! Yes you can! You can do it!

    wow, internet will cost me P3000 (converted in peso) in Tokyo compared to P1200 that i pay in my country. Nevertheless, from what i heard the salary will compensate for the high standard of living there.

    At 2:25, did you knock over a glass? Your face for a second is like…’Crap…there goes that vodka…’

    i think this is the first video on youtube that had the camera on someone’s face, and that someone was talking about something not exactly humorous that I actually watched from beginning to end… I want to go to Tokyo :(

    This reminds me of when I was in Moscow and someone asked me "how much do houses cost in America?" Hmm… its a bit too vague of a question to give an absolute answer to.

  18. stonjak1 on April 29th, 2009 1:10 am
