Will I save money living in Hiroshima?

Answer this Question

We asked expats if they save money living in Hiroshima. They said...

"The cost of living in Hiroshima can be lower than in many cities in the United States, especially when it comes to housing and healthcare. Rent and property prices in Hiroshima are generally more affordable than in major U.S. cities. Healthcare in Japan is also significantly cheaper due to the country's universal healthcare system. However, some aspects of living in Hiroshima could be more expensive. For instance, groceries and eating out can be pricier in Hiroshima than in the U.S. Utilities such as electricity, gas, and water can also be more expensive in Japan. Transportation costs in Hiroshima are relatively low, especially if you use public transportation. However, owning and maintaining a car can be quite expensive due to high tolls and parking fees. In terms of entertainment, the cost can vary. Some activities, like going to the movies, can be more expensive in Hiroshima, while others, like visiting museums or parks, can be cheaper. In conclusion, whether or not you save money living in Hiroshima compared to the United States depends on your lifestyle and spending habits. If you live a modest lifestyle, use public transportation, and cook at home, you could potentially save money. However, if you eat out often, own a car, and frequently engage in expensive activities, you might find living in Hiroshima to be more expensive," said a member in Hiroshima, Japan.
