▏A day in the life
If you start living in Japan on a student visa, what kind of life will you lead?
Since class schedules and financial circumstances vary from person to person, it’s hard to generalize.
A rough estimate of monthly living expenses is 60,000 to 70,000 yen for rent (if living alone), 20,000 yen for food, and 20,000 yen for other expenses, for a total of about 110,000 yen.
Here, we’ll introduce the typical daily life of an international student attending morning classes.
