Monthly rent in super cheap places 45-60 minutes outside downtown Tokyo can be as low as $400-500 a month. Transit is pretty cheap unless you go on day trips. After being here 2 weeks, I finally got used to walking several miles each day instead of just cruising on the subway for just 2-3 stops. You could easily survive here for just over a year on $10,000 bucks. Assuming the exchange stays around ¥145 that is.
