Compared with domestic food expenses, "eating" in Japan is still relatively expensive, especially the sashimi barbecue buffet. The lunch boxes in Chinese restaurants are relatively cheap, with a medium-sized meal costing about 380 yen.

If you eat Matsuya's beef rice every day, it costs 400 yen per meal. Three meals a day for a month will cost about 36,000 yen (2,160 yuan), which is very luxurious for ordinary students.

So if you want to save money, you can also choose to make your own lunch box and take it to school. Some of the simpler dishes cost about 250 yen.

In this way, it is relatively easy to control the monthly food expenses to 20,000 yen (1,200 yuan) by combining dining out and homemade meals.

Accommodation fees There are two main types of accommodation fees: school dormitories and off-campus rentals.

Generally, schools will have international student halls, while language schools will provide student dormitories, which cost about 30,000 yen to 50,000 yen per month (single rooms and double rooms are available).

However, due to limited rooms in the International Students Association, not everyone is eligible to apply.

Renting an apartment off campus: Here we take renting an apartment in the Tokyo area as an example.

The rent mainly consists of five parts, namely: Deposit: The cost is about one month's rent, which is generally refundable. Gift money: The cost is about one month's rent, which is generally non-refundable. Miscellaneous expenses: mainly include water, electricity, gas and property fees.

Payment is made every two months, and the approximate cost every two months is about 3,000 yen.

The average monthly electricity bill is about 4,000 yen (higher in winter and summer, relatively cheaper in spring and autumn).

Natural gas costs about 3,000 yen a month.

Cleaning fees and property fees, etc., are not required for renting some houses, and the fees are relatively low. Agency fee: It is about one month's rent. Rent: If you rent a single room, it will be more expensive. Sharing a room is more cost-effective at around 60,000 yen per month.

The rent shared equally with roommates is about 30,000 yen to 40,000 yen. Transportation to the school apartment is also a very important expense in Japan, and it is also a difficult part to calculate in the entire living expenses of studying in Japan.

Because the transportation fee is calculated based on the distance between each student's residential address and the school and the usual frequency of outings.

Therefore, the editor here uses a more popular level as the calculation standard: a monthly pass is 6,000 yen. The average student does not have too frequent travel records, so the monthly transportation fee with the regular pass is about 10,000 yen.

per month.

?Communication fees In Japan, communication fees are also a big expense for international students, because Internet and mobile phone fees can be included in packages, which together cost almost 10,000 yen.

Of course, if the house you live in provides Internet access, it will cost about 2,000 yen a month, and the phone bill alone will cost about 7,000 yen a month.

Entertainment expenses Entertainment expenses refer to the expenses that students usually spend to enrich their spare time life. Because everyone's consumption level is different, it is difficult to make relevant cost calculations.

Generally speaking, the price of a movie ticket is around 1,800 yen, the price of a theater ticket is around 7,400 yen, and the price of a Disney ticket is around 6,800 yen. Students can make calculations based on their own financial situation.
