I'm always on the lookout for the "How was it ? That was interesting."
I love it when he says that too!
More like "how was itthatwasinteresting"

😂
He never gives me a chance to tell him how it was 😥
It’s so awesome to see my Greek friend Mike right at the start of this video. 😄 Didn’t expect that. We have a lot of the same friends.
@Karl with a K what channel mike comes from?
@Karl with a K his what
pearl!
Do you happen to know which language school and housing company he was talking about?:) Specially the housing situation sounded like a good deal! Thanks!:)

I was born and raised in Japan, so I am very happy to see so many people from different countries visiting Japan! Welcome to Japan:)
howasithatwasinteresting
Where you live sir
We love Japan! It is so clean and safe.
we all want to!, but its sooo damn far away 🤣
You're so lucky man! Living in Nippon is my dream...
Thank you so much for watching!
By the way, I made 2nd channel so please subscribe! (Link in the description)
It’s gonna be more personal videos like showing how I hang out with my friends in Tokyo.
And actually me and my friends are planning to get tattoos and I’ll film it to upload on that channel!
Stay tuned!
A Japanese person getting a tattoo is so rare because they are considered a taboo right? In the US, tattoos are so common that even my grandparents have them lol
Sure I'll subscribe Takashii. I always watch your all videos. You are doing great job. These videos helped me a lot to know about Japan. I really like Japaneese culture and want to be there with my daughter. But I think for single parent , survival will be difficult. I don't know how safe are girls and kids there. If you can make videos on these topics I'll really appreciate. Last not the least I really like the way you speak and gestures to give ❤
love you^^😘❤
I'm surprised that he asked her were part of Canada she from
Nice, sounds fun! Can't wait for the new channel
Takashi: you were a good interviewer before and now you are an amazing interviewer! Great conversation flow and love how you’re so respectful and sincere with your guests.
And he's very cute to watch
@@putjesusfirst9814 love your channel name, God bless you ✝️❤️💜
Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️!
Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget!
So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.
I lived and worked in Japan for a semester. Round trip plane ticket was about $1,600 because of the time of year. My rent in Tokyo was shockingly cheap. I paid about $550. My health insurance was $75/month. My phone bill/Internet/utilities were under $100 (total for all 3). My phone bill was unusually low because I rarely used it. Haircut was about $20 because the stylist was a friend of a friend.
Groceries and eating out really varied but my coworkers and I rarely cooked because we were too exhausted and it was cheaper to eat out than buy groceries for just myself.
I usually got breakfast from a convenience store. Just an onigiri, juice and snack was about $4 every day. Lunch at my university was about $6 and was so delicious. I usually spent about $10 on dinner unless I went out on the weekend.
Public transportation to/from work was paid for by the company so I only had to pay for public transportation on the weekends. This was about $30.
I always had a lot of leftover money but I wanna stress that it really depends on your lifestyle. My coworker and I made the same exact amount but he always went through his money quickly because there's a of temptations in Japan.
My advice to people who want to live in Tokyo is to avoid looking for apartments in areas like Shinjuku, Shibuya, Roppongi, etc. If you look for an apartment in a lesser known neighborhood you'll save a ton of money.
This is very helpful info. What neighborhoods would you recommend staying in?
Very interesting.
What kind of temptations?
@@cristianhcm1914soaplands and pinsaro
Healt insurance 75 month? In USA it's 500+ per month and still not covered fully. Usa is such a ridiculous country. Japan❤❤❤
Can you ask people, “how much should you save up to take a trip to Japan?” I think a lot of us want to come to just visit but are not sure how much we need. The best option would be to interview people who are just visiting and asking them how much money they saved for this trip, how long they are staying for, and what they plan on doing with the money they saved to come here for their trip.
depends. you can get airbnb per month in tokyo for about $500-1000 average being just under 900 usd. if you are only doing like a week or so for first trip, I'd recommend minimum 9 days. hotels you can find smaller ones about $45 a night you can find places just outside of tokyo like chiba for cheap weekly around a few hundred. if you want to visit Kyoto as well you'd want more than 9 days. and should stay in Osaka, can find monthly airbnb for about $450. flying between osaka-tokyo will be about $45 and a shinkasen will cost about $110 one way. food and entertainment will be probably be biggest cost outside of that. food isn't expensive. breakfast and lunch you can get under $5 a meal easily, but eating at nicer restaurants will cost you more. going out at night entry to a nightclub is about $10-$20 depending on if you are going before about 11:00pm/happy hour or after and if you are male or female. drinks are typically about $5. you can drink on the streets so best to pre-game by getting a cheap strong zero from konbini store before about $1. then train tickets to get around will cost about $2 each way. don't recommend taxis at all. so solo person for a 1-2 week trip with souvenirs etc. about $2000 is plenty. less if you are going with more and will split cost of hotel/airbnb
It depends where you're coming from for how expensive the plane ticket will be. But I would recommend saving between 3k(if you're gonna be frugal) -5k(if you want to buy lots of souvenir). From where I live, the plane ticket is like $1500usd round trip. So it's a large portion of expense for me.
A comfortable amount is $3k excluding the plane ticket, a luxurious experience should bring $5k onward. Food being cheaper is a myth, unhealthy options are cheaper (however still good) and staying at nice places is really underrated, a good place to sleep without too much noise and too little space is better for you mentally. I feel like the local crowd would really be all over the place if he interviewed with how much should be saved for a trip to Japan but its good idea for more content!
How much should you save up if you plan to stay for one month, and to stay in multiple cities like Tokyo, Kyoto?
It’s difficult to interview “travellers” as the borders are (almost) close.
It’s not easy to get the VISA for travelling to Japan right now due to covid 🥹.
11:28 As another Canadian (also from Québec), I totally agree! For 5$ (CAD) food is going to be disgusting! However, in Japan, for 500¥ you can get something delicious and healthy!
Labelle province ou Lafleur
@@nubscrub J'avoue qu'à 5$ il n'y a pas vraiment d'autre option! Valentine peut-être... 🤣
I love your channel and your videos so much, TAKASHii. Nothing has motivated me more to pack up my bags and move to Japan from the States. Plus I would love to learn the language. Much Love!
This will really be helpful for me, as i am thinking of doing my higher studies from Japan. Thank you TAKASHI ❤️
Although I plan to end up in Tokyo, my current plan is to start out in Sapporo (in part because language school acceptance for an old guy will be easier, and also to acclimate: I'm from the Pacific Northwest, and Tokyo's damn hot!), and I've been spotting decent apartments for as little as 300USD/month, and a lot in the 400-450 range. Tokyo's a bit more, but you can find bargains, even reasonably close to the Yamanote line.
This is for my own place, not sharehouses. Biggest single expense is going to be language school tuition, along with the initial; apartment start-up costs (and plane fare). I'm going to have about $60k (US) in reserve (old guy with a pretty good day job who's been saving a while).
Hi David. How old? What made you decide on that school? I’m late thirties and wondering how I could realistically spend time in Japan beyond just being a tourist.
do you plan on living there rest of your life?
I came from northern italy.
The airplane was about 700-800€
(student visa) 6 month japanese language school was about 3500€
I pay about 60000¥ (less than 500€) per month, first month was almost 100.000¥(small apartment with some tools already here)
i usually dont spend a lot for food and other things
recently i found a job with standard wage at about 1200¥/h
Dont forget the train cost! Taking the train every day is not cheap.
With the student discount i paid around 250€ to travel to from my home-station to the school-station for how many times i want (it would a *lot* higher without the student-discount)
and there are for sure some things i forgot...
Ciao, sono Veneto, volevo sapere se non sono troppo invadente, quanto ti hanno richiesto più o meno nel conto bancario per restare 6 mesi. Grazie in anticipo anche se non rispondi:)
Well done buddy, HAVE FUN
@@Shardmind seguo anche io!
oh i rather watch youtube videos then lol
way to expensive 🫰
@@Shardmind per caso sei riusciuto a leggere la mia risposta?
I'm glad that UA-camrs like yourself are demystifying the process of getting to Japan. It helps tremendously for people to know exactly what they're getting themselves into. Especially that initial amount that you need to prove that you have in your bank account.
Always really interesting to watch these, I lived in Kobe for work for 6 months but most of the process of moving there I didn't get the same experience as a lot of foreigners, I worked at the British consulate in Osaka (about 10mins on the train away) and they did everything for me the truck for all my possessions I wanted to bring my apartment etc was subsidised, so I only knew general living costs.
I wish there was more content covering foreigners elsewhere in Japan as it's almost always Tokyo and I'd love to hear other experiences esp in Osaka or Kobe. The Colombian lady especially impressed me, she was super well prepared! Also the Canadian girl is definitely from Quebec, I know that accent anywhere!
Anyone else here because they are tired of the state of America right now like I am
You could have asked what their age is, and what is the projection of their future in Japan. :)) How long they wanna stay, carrer vision etc. I hope you can get into it after the pause. Best luck to you Takashii!
If you haven’t already. Turn that post notification bell on. I love watching these videos, so whenever i miss one I get sad. Def watch this dude. Very informative. Didnt realizd how cheap living was
I was going to turn on that notification bell on but realized I already did 😅 I gained a lot of perspectives from binging his videos this past week (and others as well).
These videos are very informative on so many different topics, I love them!
Im trying to go to japan and your videos have really helped me ive even started to learn some japanese it will take me awhile but i hope by the time i visit i will have learned enough from your channel so that i can speak and have respect for the japanese culture and maybe gain some friends
So cool for you being recognized....you're famous now!!!
I think maybe moving through the JET Programme makes it slightly easier maybe (haven't touched down yet so not sure but it's what I'm hearing and hoping).
It does. More so 23 years ago (they paid for your flight to Japan and return if you didn’t find another job)… but still CLAIR gives an orientation and your local office will probably give additional orientation and help with finding housing. Some places may even arrange for free housing (as typical on JET… YMMV). It’s a great experience!
高潮、本当にありがとうございます、im planning on moving to Japan soon and this video was very informative.
Seeing you grow very well is so amazing! You are becoming really smart interviewing people :) I really love watching your content 👍 it's really interesting 😆👍. God bless 🙏
From Pennsylvania,USA these videos are very educational and informative and entertaining keep it up I love the videos ‼️
As the last girl said, money goes down really fast in Japan. For a guy like me, that came here to study for only three months having brazilian money, I feel that Japan is a really expensive country because brazilian money (Real) is way down undervalued compared to yen. What saves me from spending too much is supermarket prepared meals that get around half price after like 9pm everyday. So if you have a rice cooker, it helps a lot too! For brazilian people, my advice is to come to Japan with a least 10k reais that can easily be well spent in two weeks for touristic purposes. Also, internet is kind of expensive even for prepaid SIM cards. That's crazy haha.
Your channel has very high quality videos. Many compliments to you! Can't wait to come to Japan! :)
really informational vid, keep up the good work,otsukaresama
Lol the first Greek person I've seen in any video about Japan. I thought I was the only one that even considered moving there and studying the language (which will happen soon hopefully). Great video in general, very informative!
Thank you Takashi ❣ Your videos are enjoyable and informative.
This was such an important video for this channel to have. And it was very informative and detailed.
I’m so glad I found this video. I’ll use it as info to move to Japan before I reach the age of 25. This gives me hope ✌️😎
Thanks for the upload, man your English is really good and even though you have the accent and typical -o/ru added to words it’s easy to understand
Spent like $20k just moving to Japan, I think it definitely depends on person to person but realistically to be comfortable for me I could not sit in a room smaller than a 2-car garage roughly small apartments under 30 sqm or 322 sqf especially working from home, while I had a lot of stuff being delivered most of the cost was because of Key Money, Advance Rent (6 months), Deposit, Guarantor and Agency Fee (tax incl.) and these are super important for anyone wanting to come to Japan to learn about.
My apartment in buttfuck Oklahoma is smaller than a 2 car garage and I pay $650 plus my energy bill is average 180 from my ac unit. Gas is 5 dollars a gallon and a coffee is 8 bucks.I’ll sell my shit for a plane ticket, I’m moving to Japan fuck this
That's sounds troublesome but is it worth it in your opinion ?
@@syrupuusabc5774 Just learn Japanese and look up shared room in Japanese to rent with Japanese roommates.
If you get lucky, you just need to pay the rent upfront . That's it.
@@user-ul5wq3kv4p nah lol. I’ll learn Japanese but I’ll happily pay much more to not have roommates. Pass
You could probably do it a lot cheaper going with long stay apartment places like Sakura House to start off while getting yourself settled. They have no issue letting to anyone for as long as you need and don't require a huge deposit.
i love these videos! they're very interesting and i enjoy watching them!
Im a big fan of YOURs Takashi !!!! Keep up the good work !!!
I’m going to Japan in a year or two so these videos are very helpful
Recently discovered your channel, enjoying the interviews. 🇨🇦
From the US, I’m very surprised how little everyone had to spend. It can be more expensive to move between cities here.
It actually feels feasible to save expenses for a couple years before moving and take some time to learn how everything works before needing a new income.
I think the video had a more financially focused purpose.
How "little"? 10 to 25 thousand is "little"? Okay Mr. Moneybags. Whatever.
@@dustinwatkins7843
If you live in certain places in the states?
Yeah.
Unfortunately.
If anything that’s nowhere near enough sometimes…..
@@dustinwatkins7843sadly, especially if you end up near a major city, rent is 2-3k min in my state (not always including utilities). if you don't have a job that's set in stone or helping you relocate then 10k will run out in no time once you include costs for food, transport, and possibly recreation.
Nice video! I just discovered your channel and it's really good! This info in particular is something I've been looking for, since my dream for the following years is to move and have a job there in Japan but right now I have no money, like literally just for food, but I just got a job with a decent amount of pay, so I'm gonna start to save money so that I can go there and live my dream!! Probably 2 or 3 years from now, meanwhile I'm studying the language so that when the time comes, I don't struggle THAT much in there haha
Wow Takashii! Your English has become really good!! Well done.
Thank you for the video, it's just what I need as I am going in two months and this is giving me more references!
I've been thinking about trying to live abroad for 6 months in Japan. This was helpful in getting a good idea how it would, overall, cost someone. Thanks!
If they let you enter, I'll probably try in 2 years
it all the depens on the city/accommodation some school it more expensive then other
Only 6 months?! Idk if that’ll actually work, depending on what your plan is. Most work contracts (like for language school teaching) last for a year.
That's a very good topic to talk about,good job👍👌✅
I'd love to see some apartment tours of Tokyo, to compare different rental range 🤗
Takashii your videos are always interesting to watch❤ thanks for the upload
I like how you edited in 0:23 with the bip sound it looks like you cursed about the 50% higher, but in reality it is your usual editing. Great topic by the way and thank you for sharing your content.
love this channel cause it’s REAL
had to subscribe
Wow! I came to Tokyo as an university exchange student, found a newly-built shared house in Setagaya for US$80/month, utilities included. Airfare was $800. And first few months of expenses were about $1000 total for food and transit passes. That was in 1981 when a morning setto was $1.50. I was in heaven about how easy it was to live in Tokyo. I heard it costs a bit more now. Ahem.
Problably more now to live in the U.S. than Tokyo today. From what I hear from family back in the U.S. it's became ridicously expensive.
@@CL-gv2fxhousing prices are for sure the kicker. lots of places right now (even in the better states) start at 1k a month min and typically are more around 2-3k. Most housing values have double over the last couple years so property taxes, mortgages, and rents have gone up accordingly.
hopefully the bubble pops before it gets too bad.
Another fellow Greek in Japan! I recently moved here too but not to Tokyo, it's nice to see a Greek person in your video since Japan doesn't really have a big Greek community. :)

Very informative thank you so much for making this video
This was great! Thank you!!! 😊
Excited for your new channel!
Big fan of your videos!!
I'm moving to Osaka from Spain next October, and I've been working for the last year in a couple of jobs to afford it. The school tuition is about 6k € - pretty 高い yknow 😅, and I got a fairly nice flight for 700€ Spain - Dubai - Osaka directly. Still haven't decided on rent/dorm because this month they'll send me the COE and visa to study there.
Keep up the good work!
How did you find the school that you are going to?
Nice video, as usual. Very informative. Cost of food, heck, anything is so expensive these days! $12 for a meal from a convenience store is just about right nowadays, everywhere. Craziness...it's just unreal.
your channel is really informative, thank you so much!
wow. very informative takashi👍
Takashi I'm coming.. maybe .. it's hard process.
Thanks for the video I found it very informative 🔱 salute from Algeria
Takashi you are the best🤩
Love from🇦🇿❤🖐
Another video and Auto liked. So glad I found this channel
6:47 Takashii getting spotted out in the wild like that is really cool
Takashii, I enjoy your videos. I was able to move to Japan because I'm married to a Japanese woman. So I was able to get a spouse visa. I became interested in Japan in 1976 when I first read the James Clavell novel Sho-Gun. I like to compare my experiences with that of others so this was an interesting video. Your interviewing skills are getting better and better. Keep up the good work!!!!! It's almost weird that Sho-Gun is popular again with the new mini series.
Nice content. Really.
And you know, if I could move to Japan, I’d obviously do it.
Interesting topic. Thanks for sharing.
This is a very very important video, thank you Takashi.
This was very informative :)
Thanks for the information love your videos and this helps a lot with my plan to move there
This information prepared and motivated me to move to Japan even more ❤️❤️. Still i think if you come with other deegres like from your country and come to live in Japan looking to work and live it could be probably much cheaper
Thank You. Awesome video.
You could ask Japanese people if they would like to travel to Europe and which European country they prefer.
It's always interesting to see what Japanese like/don't like
I love your channel I will keep support you
Gjgj Takashi Makashi, keep it up my Japanese bro. Cheers from Kazakhstan
Great interviews!
@Takashi! Much love from Canada. Planning a trip to Japan. Watching your videos to prepare!
Did you change your camera? Scene looks amazing dude!
Takashi.. i like your videos.. Can you do a video on average monthly earning in japan vs cost of living maybe?
I came with only about 2500 eur (I moved right after finishing university, so having some huge money saved up was impossible) but I had work with very discounted accomodation and meals at company canteen lined up for me, so it was fine. I don't count the flight into that, that was about under 400 eur for one way ticket.
As someone who is trying to move to japan by 16 this was very useful
Oooooh I saw a pigeon in the video. Didn’t know they moved to Japan as well 😭😭😭
I need to start prepping for a trip there myself
Wow, I moved from one part of the UK to the other.. That guy from Greece spent the same amount as me when he moved to Japan! But his living conditions were better than mine and I'm pretty sure the food is a lot cheaper than the UK!
@Karl with a K
Haha yes. I'm on my way to Japan now 😆
@Karl with a K
Whoops I am late, its been 6 days! That's how long it takes from the UK lol and I'm still not there yet!
I feel like most people who move to another country abandon or sell their belongings beforehand. I never see videos where they discuss moving things like collections, to Japan. I've got about 400 vinyl records and I couldn't leave them behind =(. Moving to Japan for me would probably easily be over $5000 USD. Plane ticket alone is almost $2000.
I love your channel..I’m learning Japanese and I be practicing with my passenger…they be shocked me being Spanish talking to them in Japanese,I think Japanese and Spanish have the same pronunciation….😅
I hear that a lot...the time involved is the most stressful part
Takashi being a rockstar in Tokyo
شكرا على هذا الفيديو 💜💜💗
The Greek brother rocking the Alexios manbun and beard.
Also, the Japanese Yen is so low at the moment, it's not surprising that the Colombian lady found the Japanese website to have the lowest prices compared to the US and Mexico.
I just started to laugh when you were interviewing the last person and you suddenly lifted your shirt to rub your stomach! 😂 Is this a habit you don’t know you are doing?! 😂
Hi Takashi greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴
oh,you have changed your channel avatar!great avatar!
I am from Canada, and I agree with the girl at 11:25 our conbini (convinience store) food is disgusting xD
and honestly, based on what Ive seen from videos of everyday life in Japan, Canada could learn a thing or two.
Would be nice to see what neighborhoods in Tokyo people think are the cheapest to live in.
Interesting to see the vastly different prices in the language schools. I wonder why that is.
I feel the German guy bc I also feel bad I don’t speak Japanese and it does make things a bit harder. Been here (Chiba) one month from California. Saved up about $6000 dlls and have used all of it in the first month. Between transportation, insurances, deposits, furnishing my home (I had to buy fridge, stove, washer, etc) and rent. I still need to buy a bike and a couch. Needless to say moving in general is a great expense, so I wasn’t expecting to spend less. My poor credit cards are suffering. 😥 Worth every penny though. I love it.
im here. i feel u. good experience. bad on the wallet.
You moved into a place without furnishings? 6k in one month?
You're a fool with money.
Interesting that you uploaded this, exactly when I'm currently planning my trip to move to Japan. Hmm suspicious lol
Hopefully I can start my PhD in Japan next year 🙏
That was interesting 🤍
The last girl is from Quebec, she has that accent from my people I can recognize anywhere! So that was pretty sweet to know her point of view for me haha
thansk for this
House, Rent, Hotel, etc. If you stay far enough from the City Center, most likely you can find a relatively inexpensive accomodation with a relatively inexpensive living cost.
The issue is transportation.
But do not discount of not using the Shinkansen / Bullet Train for daily travel, especially if you are not a Japanese Citizen.
If you are not using a Work Visa or a Student Visa, and instead use a Temporary Visitor Visa.
Imagine commuting daily in the Kanto Area with JR East's Shinkansen network and other JR East's trains for less than 3500 Yen / Day.
Now imagine commuting between Tokyo and Osaka for around 30000 Yen / Week.
That being said, you do not have to work or study in Japan, you can instead telecommute / telework to work or study OUTSIDE Japan.
My big bro went in Japan after his japanese university language 20 years ago for 6 months. It still cost the same amount like thoses guys. But now should be a little more expensive, for plane ticket.
Expensive but still want to go to Japan❤️
My dream place😍🥰
Ok finally some different questions
