Im not too sure how I feel about this survey. Trust me I do agree with the fact that Japan is expensive compared to places, especially Tokyo. I just wish I could see more info about the survey. Like what these 200 items were. To me food is a big one and they don't say what food. If you wanted, you could eat cheap in Japan, even Tokyo. But you could also eat ridiculously expensive. What troubled me most is the fact that he says he used New York as the base city and the basing his results off of New York. If you try to live the American lifestyle in Japan, your going to spend a fortune. If you want to go out have a big steak with potatoes your going to be broke in a week. Now I didn't see all of the list because my comp was going to slow. But I can tell you, I almost went to Tokyo and las vegas back to back, and Vegas cost way more than Tokyo. besides the cost of living, which im not sure of, las Vegas costs a fortune. This has nothing to do with gambling either, Im just talking about food, drink, entertainment, and transportation. I spent twice as much in Vegas, and Im not even sure if it was on that list. But with or with out this list, Tokyo isnt cheap.
