What's the cost of living in cities like Chiba, Saitama, and Yokosuka?

I used to live in Yokosuka, I think housing is cheap. but it's really convinient to going to Tokyo. it takes 45min to get to Shinagawa station by "Keikyu Line" (rapid one,￥630/each way) if you don't mind go 10-15min. farther than yokosuka, you can find around ￥60,000 2LDK.
Also Saitama is really easy to access to tokyo. I'm not sure how much, but I'm sure you can find cheaper.

most of the price of foods(especialy restaurant) are same. only Sushi would be different. because yokosuka or chiba is close to ocean and fresh. if you go to nice one, would cost more... but there are always ￥100 Sushi restaurant. Nabeyaki Udon is ￥500-700. epends on what kind of topping you want. but also you can buy them at supermarket. all you have to do is boil. easy and cheap. just be careful, the container gets really hot! 6Futomaki..ummm.... shouldn't be that much.. Anyways, if you go to supermarket after 5pm, most of fresh food(Sushi, tempra,rice balls, fried chicken Obento(lunch box)...etc..)20-50%off!!
i hope it would help you.. enjoy life in Japan!!

I have no idea as to how much the sashimi and the nabeyaki udon would be but I think the price of food is basically the same.
Of course I won't know until I eat a Nabeyaki Udon in Chiba and Saitama but when it comes to regular everyday food, the price shouldn't change all that much.

As for rent for a 2LDK would probably start around 60,000 and higher. Depends on how far away from the city and how far away walking distance from the nearest train station but my friend used to live in a 1LDK for 40,000 yen in Chiba station area.

And If you go all the way to Chigasaki area in the Kanagawa Pref. the monthly rent of a 3LDK can be as low as 55,000yen!!
I actually have friends living in one.
Maybe that'll give you an idea of distance and rent prices.

Living In Saitama

Tokyo is the capital of Japan, and the place where over 13 million people live, making it one of the most populous cities in the world but also, a big city to visit, find out more with hotelbye . Most of the city was devastated by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, and then again by the bombing in the WWII, however, Tokyo was able to achieve a remarkably rapid recovery both times. The main attraction of Tokyo is the Imperial Palace with its beautiful 17th-century parks surrounded by walls and moats. The palace is still in use by the Imperial family.

i'm a jap. It relies upon on many factors, like what proportion families you have, what variety of life you choose to have, and so on. to boot, Chiba is next to Tokyo. So this is thoroughly distinctive in case you reside in an element of Chiba that's close to Tokyo border or in case you reside on the east end (close to Pacific) of Chiba prefecture. in spite of the actuality that, this is 2 hundred,000 yen or one million,seven hundred USD for one month if I placed the known living value in Chiba. yet this is barely for one guy or woman. in case you have some families, this is particular which you choose extra money to stay there.
