$20,000?

Would $20,000 be enough money to cover everything (tuition/rent/transportation/food/miscellaneous) for somebody who wants to study Japanese in one of the language schools in Tokyo?

Depends on how long you are planning on going for.

6 months to a year.

What school are you thinking about?

I've read KCP International Language School, & Naganuma Language School are both supposedly good.

I don't know, though. There are so many language schools in Tokyo it's hard to know which ones are good.

A little Internet search shows that KCP is $17,100 for an academic year. That's school and dorm room, so $20,000 would not be enough, as this does not include food.

Naganuma thinks you can do 12 months for 1,647,750 yen (just over $18,000 dollars) but that is living on 15 dollars a day, which in Tokyo seems damn near impossible unless you never go anywhere and cook for yourself.
