Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? Thirty thousand? How much does it cost to study in Japan every month?

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-19

April students are about to enter the country, I don't know how much living expenses everyone is prepared to ask for with their parents?

If you study abroad alone, you will have less money, you are afraid that you will not be able to solve it, you will bring too much money, and you are afraid that your family will not be able to afford it, so how much money is appropriate?

Living expenses are basically composed of: rent, food, transportation, water, electricity, gas, national insurance, Internet and telephone bills.

Rent: If you live in a dormitory.

Single room 5-80,000 yen per month (about 2,400-3,800 yuan).

Double room 4-60,000 yen per month (about 1900-2800 yuan).

If you rent a house. Depending on the region, the distance of the station, the size, the old and the new, and the structure is different, it is about 6-100,000 yen per month (about 2,800-4,800 yuan), and renting a house in Japan usually requires paying a gift (1-2 months' rent) to the landlord.

Suggestion: Students who have just arrived in Japan should first live in a dormitory (find a good place in China, otherwise it will be embarrassing to have no place to live after entering the country), and rent a house by themselves after adapting to life in Japan for a period of time.

Meals: Breakfast: If you solve the problem at a convenience store, you can basically control it at about 400 yen (about 20 yuan).

Lunch: Yoshinoya, Matsuya, Fuji, a meal is about 600 yen (about 30 yuan).

Dinner: If you make it yourself, you can get a dish + rice for 400 yen (about 20 yuan), and occasionally add meat for less than 600 yen (about 30 yuan).

The price of goods in Japan is much higher than in China, and the minimum price of going out to eat is about 3,000 yen (about 150 yuan) under normal circumstances

Transportation: The most common modes of transportation in Japan are trains, subways, shinkansens, and buses.

For example, the Tokyo subway (Tokyo Fuguchi) is a general** one-way regular fare of 170 yen (starting at 1-6 km in yen, 240 yen, 280 yen, and 310 yen).

Trains are also not much different from subways**, such as Tokyo's Yamanote Line, which typically cost between JPY140 to JPY260. It is slightly cheaper to get a transportation card.

In the case of buses, there are those with a flat price for the whole journey, and there are also those that are calculated according to the distance. Most public transportation fares in Tokyo cost around 210 yen. If you are a student, you can also apply to the school for a certificate within certain sections, and buy a student commuter ticket at the tram or subway station, which is often much cheaper, and will basically be discounted in half. If you can't get a student commuter ticket, you can also buy a monthly pass or a half-year pass.

Water, Electricity & Gas: Water Bill: about 1500 yen per month (about 72 yuan).

Electricity: about 4,000 yen per month (about 190 yuan).

Natural gas: about 3,000 yen per month (about 144 yuan).

If you cook all the time, it may be a little higher than the above.

National insurance premium: Because it is very expensive to see a doctor in Japan, you only need to pay 30% of the medical treatment after this, and the monthly cost is about 2,000 yen (about 96 yuan).

Phone bills, Internet bills:

In terms of mobile phone bills, in Japan, there are many contracts for international students to apply for Softbankdocomo and AU, with an average of about 5,000 yen per month (about 240 yuan).

Internet fees are basically around 4,000 yen per month. There are also some relatively small companies that will have cheap **, you can compare more and then decide which one to handle (about 192 yuan).

In addition to the above, do you want to buy daily necessities, do you want to buy clothes, do you want to pay the exam materials, and you have to go to the occasional dinner, in case the house is not good to live in, the moving fee is another amount of money, so in order to make yourself more confident, prepare an extra 10,000 yuan is not too much.

At present, the minimum hourly wage in Tokyo is 1,072 yen (about 50 yuan), and the jobs that international students are generally exposed to are mainly drugstores, restaurants, convenience stores, etc. The hourly wage of these shops is about 1,000-1,100 yen, and if they are all filled at 28 o'clock every week, they will earn about 120,000 yen (about 6,000 yuan) a month. A little easier is the translation work in a department store. The hourly salary ranges from 1,300 to 1,500 yen, but the threshold for recruitment is relatively high, and basically students in a school or graduate school can earn about 8,000 yuan a month according to 1,500 yen per hour for 28 hours a week.

In principle, international students can work 28 hours a week, and no more than 40 hours during winter and summer vacations, which is actually a lot of income.

Finally, if you and your parents can accept the cost of studying in Japan, you can do a small assessment and ask the senior sister to make an exclusive preliminary plan for studying in Japan for the baby
