The average annual Salary in Japan is around ¥4.5M to ¥5.5M (₹25–32 lakh), which is generally enough to cover living expenses, though how much you can save depends on the city you are living in. In Tokyo, the cost of living is high, where a single person may spend between ¥2M to ¥3M per year on rent, food, and transport, which means saving can be less unless the Salary is more than ¥7M. In cities like Osaka, Yokohama, or Nagoya, the cost of living ranges between ¥1.6M to ¥2.4M annually. In contrast, smaller towns like Fukuoka or Sapporo can be even less, at about ¥1.2M to ¥1.9M. Those working in IT, Finance, and Engineering often earn more than the national average, allowing them to live comfortably and save money. At the same time, those earning average salaries may struggle financially in cities like Tokyo.
