Japan is bigger than Tokyo!
Anywhere outside of Tokyo, even in beautiful livable world-class cities, the prices for Japanese homes are quite reasonable.
For example, this is in a very central and convenient part of Kyoto:

Or this one, for half the price:

Other cities outside of Kyoto are even less expensive.
- Aeolun 8y agoIndeed. You could easily find places for $50000 or even less if you wanted to. The problem is any job I’ve ever had is in Tokyo.
- jbay808 8y agoGood point. It does depend on the field though. For software, there's probably not a lot of other options. For mechanical engineering there's a lot of interesting work all over the country.
- Aeolun 8y agoShould have gone with my second choice of career then :P Not much work there without fluent Japanese though, so I guess it turned out alright. I’ll just have to deal with houses costing a small fortune.
