Asked by Neha M.8 July 2026
Expert answer

Japan is more affordable than Australia, UK, or Canada. National university tuition: ¥535,800/year (~₹2.9 lakh). Monthly living: Tokyo ¥100,000-¥180,000; Osaka/Kyoto ¥80,000-¥140,000; smaller cities ¥60,000-¥100,000. University dormitories: ¥15,000-¥30,000/month. With MEXT scholarship, total cost is near zero. Without scholarship, total annual cost is approximately ₹8-12 lakh living + ₹2.9 lakh tuition.
