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.

| 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. |
