@danjones000 Nope. You are going to be very tight. You could easily hit a 750k yen a month on family expenses.
Rent in Tokyo alone will run you 300- 500k, aka a substantial part of your income.
Going rural has savings but that has its own issues.
What you have in hand is sufficient for a small family living frugally in Tokyo.
I was just looking at the location of the job. It's on the south end of Tokyo, in Setagaya City. Probably reasonable to commute from a nearby city, like Kawasaki or Yokohama.
Would living somewhere like that be more possible, or still really tight?
Question for anybody who knows about living and working in Japan.
Is ¥10 million a reasonable annual salary to support an entire family of six in Tokyo? Especially for someone used to making more than two and a half times that in the US?
