Well i don't really know for sure lol all I know is that everything was
expensive when I went there. Luckily if you have relatives who are rich
they can help you. If you don't, make friends with old artistic rich guys
in Shibuya. You'll be fine. (;
Yen are comparable to US pennies, not dollars. It takes over 100 yen to equal $1. And where in the US are you comparing to Japan (and where in Japan for that matter?) Several US big cities (especially SF) are MUCH more expensive to live in than 99% of Japan.
