Thank you very much again
You're welcome.

As MMM said, you should probably budget at least $600 and up for an apartment in Osaka. And if you live far enough outside the city to find a place for less, you'll probably make up the difference in commuting costs.

Then add in all your bills, food, etc to that $600 apartment and that will come to at least $1000 a month total, if you can live on about $13 per day for everything besides rent, which isn't very easy in Japan. $20 per day is more likely, which brings you up to $1200 per month, and $30 per day takes you to $1500 per month. But a lot depends upon what kind of a deal you can find on an apartment, if you can share a place with other people, etc
