[Music] hello everyone and welcome back to my Channel at japanophile Journeys Daniel here today we’re diving into the most affordable places to live in Japan as a foreigner from bustling metropolises to Charming Countryside towns we’re exploring the hidden gems that won’t break the bank so if you’re dreaming of experiencing the Land of the Rising Sun without emptying your savings stick around first up we’re heading to Fukuoka the largest city on the island of kushu Fukuoka is renowned for its delicious food vibrant nightlife and laid-back atmosphere but here’s the kicker it’s also surprisingly affordable rent in Fukuoka can be significantly cheaper compared to cities like Tokyo or Osaka imagine finding a cozy one-bedroom apartment for around 60,000 to 80,000 yen a month and the savings don’t stop there fukoka boasts an efficient public transportation system with fairs considerably lower than in other major cities plus the abundance of affordable eateries means you can enjoy delicious Ramen seafood and local Specialties without hurting your wallet culturally Fukuoka is a treasure Trove waiting to be explored visit the ancient kushida Shrine stroll through the Serena hori park or immerse yourself in from the bustling atmosphere of canal City Hakata and don’t miss out on the yatai Fukuoka iconic open air food stores that serve up mouthwatering treats late into the [Music] night next we venture North to saporo the dynamic capital of Hokkaido known for its snowy Winters world-renowned beer and delectable Seafood saporo offers a unique blend of urban excitement and natural beauty one of the biggest draws for budget conscious expats is the comparatively affordable cost of living rent in saporo is generally lower than in many other major Japanese cities think spacious apartments at prices that won’t make your eyes water saporo also boasts an extensive and efficient public transportation Network making it easy and affordable to navigate the city and its surroundings from exploring the historic saporo Beer Garden and Museum to wandering through the verdant odori Park getting around is a breeze and if you’re a fan of winter sports soro’s proximity to worldclass ski resorts is a major [Music] bonus all right Lads moving on to the city of 10,000 shrines Koto now Koto might not be as cheap as Fukuoka but don’t worry we’re still talking budget friendly here the real beauty of Kyoto lies in its welcoming Community especially esally for us expats Kyoto attracts a lot of international students and teachers which means there’s a pre-existing network of people who understand the struggles of adapting to a new country you’ve got language exchange meetups cultural workshops you name it it’s dead easy to meet like-minded people plus Kyoto’s full of these hidden cafes and restaurants tucked away down Alleyways you can find some right Bargains if you know where to look trust me some of the best food I’ve had has been in those little Backstreet places and of course you’re in Koto you’re surrounded by thousands of temples shrines and Gardens you could spend every weekend exploring a new historical site without spending a single Yen well maybe a few hundred for good luck so while Kyoto might not be the absolute cheapest the sense of community and the sheer amount of free stuff to do make it a winner in my book right on to the next one [Music] next up we’re diving into Osaka often called the nation’s kitchen Osaka is known for its vibrant street food scene friendly locals and most importantly its safety Japan in general boasts incredibly low crime rates but Osaka takes it up a notch you can comfortably wander around at night try those late night food stalls and not have to constantly look over your shoulder this sense of security is a massive Plus for expats especially if you’re not used to living in a big city it just gives you piece of of mind you know you can relax and enjoy yourself without constantly worrying about your belongings or personal safety and let’s not forget about the cost of living Osaka offers a great balance it’s cheaper than Tokyo but still has all the excitement and convenience of a major city you’ve got excellent public transport affordable accommodation options and let’s be real you’ll be spending most of your cash on delicious takoyaki anyway so if safety and affordability are high on your list Osaka should be right up your alley it’s a city that truly Embraces you and your stomach with open arms all right now we’re heading to ngoya the industrial Powerhouse of Japan while it might not be as flashy as Tokyo or Kyoto ngoya is a Hidden Gem for expats especially those looking for job opportunities ngoya is home to major industries like Automotive manufacturing and Technology this means there’s a constant demand for skilled workers including us foreigners so if you’re in engineering it or any related field ngoya should be on your radar now the job market in Japan can be competitive but don’t let that put you off with the right qualifications and a bit of effort you can definitely land a decent job in ngoya plus the cost of living is relatively lower compared to other major cities so your hard-earned Yen will go further and hey even if you’re not looking for work ngoya is is still a fantastic city to live in it’s got a unique blend of modern and

relocating with your little explorers this could be your spot we’re talking established institutions with good reputations offering globally recognized qualifications it’s not just about academics though these schools are like mini melting pots giving your kids a head start in cultural understanding and language skills it’s like a cheat code for raising worldly Wise Kids isn’t it plus let’s be honest having a solid International Community around you can be a lifesaver when you’re a Stranger in a Strange Land eh now let’s talk about something crucial especially for those considering a long-term stay in Japan Healthcare and Hiroshima my friends is a bit of a dark horse in this race why you ask well it boasts a robust Health Care system with top-notch facilities and highly trained professionals think cutting edged technology combined with that renowned Japanese efficiency it’s enough to make the NHS blush but here’s the kicker it’s surprisingly affordable even without insurance and believe me coming from a country where a broken leg can bankrupt you this is a breath of fresh air whether it’s a routine checkup or something more serious you can rest assured that you be well taken care of in Hiroshima without having to remortgage your house that my friends is peace of mind you can’t put a price on right let’s jet off to naha the vibrant capital of Okinawa picture this
