Monthly family cost in Yamagata shi, Japan

Greetings, How much is required monthly (per person) to live without any worries? Including Japanese language courses. Are foreign students (elementary through university) well accepted in Yamagata schools? Many thanks!

    Hi There! There's some information about living in Yamagata at the resource on the website here https://www.city-cost.com/stats/yamagata. I can't comment about Yamagata personally, since I've only traveled there and not lived there, but I live in Niigata just below it. Our rent here is inexpensive (58,000 yen a month for a 6DK) but the real kicker is utilities - it still gets super humid in summers here and naturally the winters are next level with the snow etc - and I imagine that side of things would be the same in Yamagata. Our heating bill last month was on par with our rent. As for foreign students, my husband studies here and has found it to be very welcoming, and our daughter also goes to school here. So far, so good in that regard - I would be hoping the same would be true in Yamagata!

Condiments in your fridge?

Just for fun! I was thinking the other day how different the contents of my fridge are to the fridge I grew up with! Just one example, I always have soy sauce in my fridge and usually at least one other unopened bottle in the cupboard. There was never soy sauce in my fridge growing up. And the friends I grew up with don't have soy sauce in their fridges even now. But my Uni friends all have soy sauce in their fridges, because they all lived in Japan for at least a year. I was just wondering what things do you have in your fridge here that you probably wouldn't have in your fridge in your home country had you never lived here.

Moving house process

I've been in my apartment for nearly 7 years. I've got my eye on an apartment one station closer to work. But I forgot what it was like to move in here! It was all a bit traumatic... Have you got some packing tips, suggestions for how to move your household goods, and what to save for last?

Golden Week 2025 plans?

This year's Golden Week gives us Tuesday, April 29th, and then potentially a four-day weekend from May 3rd to 6th. How are you intending to spend the break? Will you travel, "staycation", or dare I ask, work through it?
