Antonio 0 Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 You were wondering what a modern 2 bedroom place in the city (Tokyo) might set you back? Move into my current building and it'll cost you 600,000 Yen per month. One of those little expat perks! PS: A certain, very acceptable Japanese lady whose face appears just about everywhere used to live in the apartment above me. sweeeeet! Link to post Share on other sites
akibun 0 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Of course, rent! Own is much to expensive for me on my own. Link to post Share on other sites
xxx 2 Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Huge differences going on. 600000 yen per month. That's obscene. Link to post Share on other sites
peterson 0 Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Rent. I have a crappy small aparto about 15 minutes from the city and it costs me 55000 yen a month (and is considered cheap!) Link to post Share on other sites
Antonio 0 Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 XXX, i agree that its obscene but its not the palace you might expect. I am sure many of you people living in the country have much nicer/bigger places than me. This is simply the market for a modern, decent place within close proximity to the city (Meguro).

montoya 0 Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 If anyone is interested, here's recent article about mortgages in Japan: "Hazards of buying a home in Japan" http://www.iht.com/articles/90599.html Link to post Share on other sites
Antonio 0 Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Thanks for that. Interesting article. I've personally had some interesting experiences with the banks. Getting slightly off topic but i was able to open a bank account with SMI/Mitsui bank while i was still only on a "tourist visa". I found that surprising. All it took was a little push from the office here? Is that normal? Link to post Share on other sites
