Thanks
That's like saying "I want to live in America, how much does it cost?" There are vast differences between a house or apartment in New York or SF vs rural Montana or Wyoming, the cost of fancy dinners at 5 star restaurants vs family diners and fast food, Rodeo Drive designer clothes and Wal-mart off the rack.

You can find all the same variety of prices in Japan... it depends upon what lifestyle you want to live. A 1 room apartment in a smaller town, family restaurants or cooking for yourself, and department store shopping can be very reasonable, while a fancy place in the heart of Tokyo, dinners of Kobe beef and lobster, and designer clothes will cost a lot.
