| 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 | ¥105,000/month | JASSO 2023, averaged across Japan and excluding tuition. Tokyo runs above it, mostly on rent. |
