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.
