So I have been offered a job for one year at an international school in Hiroshima with approx 4.2 million yen annual pay. I will be getting a housing stipend of 60,000 yen monthly and my flights to and from Japan are covered. I am a Canadian and will move back to Canada after the academic year ends, and I'm wondering whether this income is sufficient to sustain me and give me an opportunity to put some money aside (approx. 10-15,000 CAD by the end of my employment).
What is the average cost of rent/utilities etc.?
Will I be able to live comfortably or will I be on a tight budget if I were to stick to my savings goal? What are some other costs that I should consider?
