yeah seriously, I looked at rent prices in chicago and what you can get for 1000 dollars in tokyo in a decent area not too far away from the city you can pay 3000 for in chicago, in most places and if you go to kawasaki or something make it 500.
Be warned tho, one thing that sucks about renting in japan is the initial costs, you’re basically expected to pay 6-9 months rent in advance (“key money” + “agency fee” + “guarantor fee” + deposit) when you rent and if you move you only get the deposit back (usually 1 to 2 months) which is bullshit.
