Hello everyone

Could anybody help with some information on cost of living in the Osaka Prefecture of Japan? How does anybody think a graduate student with a stipend of 200,000 Japanese Yen fare in Osaka ???

Waiting for a reply

hi, Mrin
my name is kasumi, i'm currently in Thailand for 6 months but in japan, I live in Osaka. so i hope i could help you.
seeing your profile you will come to Osaka university, will you?
generally, the rent around there costs about 50,000 yen.(i guess, between 25,000~80,000yen) but if you live in a dorm of university, it costs much more cheep.

and, to eat,
at university, generally we can eat with 300 yen. but if you eat a lot, it costs little bit more. but it's not expensive in the university.

and if you eat out, it depends on what you eat or where you go..
for example..
Gyudon(a bowl of rice topped with beef) or Udon(japanese noodles) costs about 300 yen to 600 yen. but if you eat at other restaurant, it costs about 1000 yen. (but it depends !)
and of course, if you go to a high rank restaurant, you know, it costs mooore. lol

so, I think it's enough 100,000 yen for 1 month.
it depends on what you do there, how often you go out, what you buy etc.

if you have other problems that i could help you, let me know :)

i hope you will have a good stay in japan!
