I moved to Japan 4 months ago. So far, the cost of fruit and the country's transit system have really surprised me.
"Eating out in Japan is much more affordable compared to Canada, with the best ramen costing around CA$8 to CA$11, and even a solid bowl for CA$4."
"Fruit prices in Japan have been a significant surprise, with pineapples costing around CA$8, melons for CA$30, and strawberries ranging from CA$10 to CA$40."
Moving to Japan has led to significant improvements in daily life, including lower costs for dining out. However, strict trash-sorting rules and high fruit prices have been surprising adjustments. After relocating from Canada, the author found that while ramen and meals are affordable, fruit prices are unexpectedly high, leading to more selective shopping habits. The experience has been a mix of positive changes and new challenges, with plans to explore more of Japan in the coming year.
