    While Yuju's link is helpful, I think your ought to have a look at two posts that I wrote in my Cost of Living in Japan series for more details. Have a look at the cost of my utilities for one year in this post - http://www.trekkingwithbecky.com/cost-of-living-in-japan-utilities/ Although I'm in Kurashiki, which is far from Iwate, I think that the details I included will give you a better idea of what to expect when it comes to how much your utilties (gas, water and electricity) will cost you. I noticed that taxes aren't covered in the link, and since you'll be in Japan for more than a year, you'll have to pay the residential tax. Although the amount varies from city to city, it can cost you a lot. Have a look at this post - http://www.trekkingwithbecky.com/the-cost-of-living-in-japan-taxes/ Good luck with everything! :D

How well does your home country insulate homes compared to here?

One thing I struggle with is the lack of insulation in Japanese homes, with summers often feeling like you're living in a sauna and winters feeling like outside is the same temperature as inside. In saying that, my home country isn't fab with insulation either. They're still very much a nation of single paned windows and minimal stuff in the walls to regulate temperature well. Does your home country do insulation well compared to here?
