The prices are reasonable as well.
The rent prices might seem reasonable, but you then have to figure in move-in costs. A couple months refundable deposit, and 1 to 3 months of "key money", which is not refundable. Your 90k yen studio could cost as much as 500k yen to move in. I had to pay the equivalent of 3 months rent in addition to my first month's rent, meaning that my move-in cost was about 250k yen. Not cheap.
