My rent wasn't subsidized, and I had no problem buying everything I needed in Japan, traveling around, and still saving a lot of money.
It's important to note, though, that about 98% of JETs don't live in Tokyo, and in fact many live in small towns and villages across Japan, where the cost of living is far less.
