When moving
to a new city, it's always difficult to save money. Here are a few
points that could help you save money while living in Japan.
1) Clothes
Both UniQlo and Gap are very good, cheap places to shop for clothes. They have a wide range of clothes, and even formal clothes are cheap.
UniQlo also stocks a large range of clothes designed for winter, so this is a valuable store if you plan to come to Japan in winter.
Muji is another store that carries a lot of home necessities at a reasonable price, so check out this store as well.
2) Transportation
In general, you can do almost anything in the city, but if you want to travel, always look out for day-passes, or multi-trip passes. Some subway lines offer this, so be sure to check whenever you catch a new train line.
3) 100 yen stores
100 yen stores, like Daiso, stock a great range of products, ranging from books, stationary, toiletries, and cleaning utensils, most products only costing you 105 yen. It is a good idea to frequent these stores, as you may find that they have something that you need.
4) Food
When eating at home, cooking rice is easy and cheap. Gas is somewhat expensive, so if you plan to use the stove a lot, keep this in mind.
Convenience stores are useful, but if you plan to shop a lot, try to avoid using them too often.
Eating out can sometimes best just as cheap, as long as you know where to go.
Places like Yayoi-ken or Sukiya serve many cheap meals, with Yayoi-ken also offering free rice refills on certain meals.
