Documenting my story of buying, renovating and living in my home in Japan. I share what I learn along the way, including mistakes, wins, and everything in between. This playlist also gives a look at daily life in rural Japan, right in the middle of one of the country’s snowiest and most well-known ski areas.

How much does it cost to live in Japan? Well, this will give you some insights! Japan’s grocery prices are climbing—but how bad is it really? Inflation is hitting food costs everywhere, and Japan is no exception. Eggs, milk, rice, even instant noodles—everything’s creeping up! In 2024, food prices in Japan have jumped around 6-7% compared to last year, and even the trusty ¥100 onigiri is getting pricier. For a country that barely had inflation for decades, this is a big shift. What does this mean for the country? Follow along as I check out the REAL prices of groceries in Japan today. At the end, I’ll show you the cost of everyday essentials like rice, eggs, and milk—so stick around to see how it compares to your country! I’ll also throw in some fun stuff and playful commentary along the way. How are grocery prices looking where you live? What’s one thing that’s gotten WAY too expensive lately? If you’ve been to Japan recently, did it still feel affordable, or were you shocked by the prices? Drop a comment below! This is some of many supermarkets across the country. Prices will be different and if you’re living in Japan, let me know how it compares. Did you like this kind of video? Let me know and I’ll make more like it.
