Living Expenses
This is a simulation of your average student's monthly expenses.
This rough estimate will change depending on how much you personally spend and whether or not you have a part-time job, but according to the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO)'s survey of foreign students' living expenses in 2024, foreign students in Tokyo spend about ¥105,000 per month (not including school expenses). Breakdown: rent is about ¥42,000 per month, food is about ¥32,000, other personal expenses are about ¥8,000, electricity, gas, and water is about ¥8,000, and entertainment is about ¥8,000.
