Estimated cost of living in Tokyo

These are estimated living costs in Tokyo, not fees charged by The University of Tokyo. Actual spending varies by housing choice and lifestyle.

ItemEstimateNotes
University accommodation Not published No dormitory, housing cost or accommodation eligibility is published on the department's or the programme's English pages.…
Rent, Tokyo average US$360 (¥57,000)/month JASSO's 2023 survey of privately financed international students. The average across Japan is 41,000 — Tokyo is the most expensive place to rent.
Food Not published Counted inside the monthly total below. JASSO does not publish a separate Tokyo figure for food.
Commuting Not published Counted inside the monthly total below. Rent falls with distance from campus and the commute costs more, so the two move against each other.
Total living costs US$663 (¥105,000)/month JASSO 2023, averaged across Japan and excluding tuition. Tokyo runs above it, mostly on rent.
