💡 Cost of Food — for vietnamese
Vietnamese residents make up one of Japan's fastest-growing foreign communities. Monthly costs typically range from ¥85,000–¥130,000 depending on city and whether you cook Vietnamese food at home. Tokyo is pricier, but technical intern programs in rural areas can cut costs significantly.
Community tip: Many Vietnamese residents save on food by shopping at Asian supermarkets in Shin-Okubo and Ikebukuro. Pho ingredients, fish sauce, and rice noodles are widely available in major cities.
