There is no way that electric bill is just 1,500 yen. The basic meter rent is about 800 yen. then you use multiple appliances. depending on your usage, the electric bill will cost somewhere between 3,000 yen to 6,000 yen in kanto region. Also, the rent for the house depends on a lot of things but this house is little cheap for being in tokyo. Rent for 1 room apartment in tokyo region may sometimes cost over 75,000 yen.

Hi! If you want some advise about fish keeping please do not hesitate to ask :D. I know japanese houses are small but even if they sell small aquariums, it doesn't mean it's OK to put your fish in there. Most pet shop don't know how to properly care for the animals they sell unfortunately. I'll gladly help!

What I love about living here in Tokyo is although Tokyo is a big city, the cost of living in here is very affordable. Infact, it's even cheaper than my hometown ( Geneva ).

East Asian culture is suffering the same as in the west from the diminishing and decline of families. This young woman is a good example of how single women in Japan end up, with no families of their own. When the family unit breaks down, so does the nation. When there are NO more family units, a nation is already in it’s death throw. Thank you central bankers and their new world order.

[@スカイハイ-q9e]

Did you watch same video we all did? It's your opinion not the fact.

[@generalnguyenngocloan1700]

@@スカイハイ-q9e Your video was a very good example of the way women’s lives are being lived in Japan, utterly alone. You provided the facts. My “opinion” is shared by millions who believe the traditional family unit is at risk, and Japan’s population is drastically declining, which brings many social and economic problems. Productivity is dropping as a result, and Japan’s central bank continues to print more money. Of course this young woman has the freedom to live her life as she chooses. Japan’s low birth rate, at 1.3 per woman, threatens centuries old traditions and skills. This channel is about Japan, I was looking at the bigger picture. I respect and admire Japanese culture and nation. My opinion was in no way to belittle this woman or Japan. 🇯🇵👀👍🏻

What, her electric bill is 1.500 ien? In the summer, because of the air conditioner, our bill is around 16.000 per month (2 people, me and my wife). Other months is about 9.000 ien. She never stays home and probably, don't use many electric stuff. To be fair, we have 3 computers here at home (which one stays on 24/7), our oven is electric, and we cook frequently. But still... it's 6x her bill n the best case scenario.

It is true the average Japanese makes very little. That said, the cost of everything is much lower than in the USA if you don't have to drive everywhere. In places like Okinawa with little public transportation it makes the minimum cost of living much higher with their high vehicle inspection and registration taxes.
