I attend an American university in Tokyo. The cost of the school itself is comparable to the average American school in the states (~8,000 USD a semester), but the Office of Immigration needed what is called "Proof of Financial Viability" before they'd issue me a visa, which is basically proof that I could support all of my costs of living in Japan for one year. To satisfy this requirement, I had to prove that I had access to at least 3 million yen, which at the time was equal to a little over 30,000 USD.
