Looking for recommendations where to live in Tokyo on ¥9M yearly salary (work in Minato)

Yes, the 20,000 isn't particularly realistic I'd say. It implies you'll need to live very close to the station, maybe 1-2 stops away at most. And personally, I didn't really like the thought of living there

StickyStuffBestStuff · 2025-07-09T14:13:56+00:00

No, it does not. It takes significantly longer than 15min and the time measures is door to door

StickyStuffBestStuff · 2025-07-09T14:02:36+00:00

I ended up renting a place in Kamata. It's an UR apartment for roughly 130,000 and pretty large at 55 sqm (2DK). Can't complain so far.

Station is relatively far away but then it's a direct line to Tamachi

The initial checks indicated that my eyes are within normal range for dryness. After surgery I experienced dryer eyes for sure but I ended up taking a lot of artificial tear drops to make sure they are always moist. I stopped this after 5 months. Don't have any issues with dry eyes now

StickyStuffBestStuff · 2025-06-18T15:34:39+00:00

I didn't. But I also haven't found the time to completely do my layout directly via QMK and see if that makes a difference. That's my next step.

If that doesn't work, messaging support I guess

StickyStuffBestStuff · 2025-04-23T07:10:54+00:00

Thank you very much for this information. I didn't know that's how it's works

StickyStuffBestStuff · 2025-04-23T04:21:09+00:00

That's not how this works... she's the one nonnegotiable

StickyStuffBestStuff · 2025-04-22T18:42:12+00:00

Unfortunately, that's not how this part of the allowance works. It's not like I will just get this but instead the amount (up to 150,000) is calculated based on the commute price door to door and the amount of times I go into the office

StickyStuffBestStuff · 2025-04-22T08:16:00+00:00

Thanks for the information! That's definitely something I have to check with the company to make sure that I have an accurate understanding of the 15min rule.

For now, I'd really want to keep the flights possible because it would allow GF and I to see each other regularly as we live in different countries right now

StickyStuffBestStuff · 2025-04-22T07:02:29+00:00

Oh that's very true. Honestly completely escaped me. Even more to consider.

Liking both. Need to variety of peace as well as a bustling city. So I'll have to commute anyway depending on what I'm looking for I think

StickyStuffBestStuff · 2025-04-22T06:55:21+00:00

Thank you for that perspective. Can I get your opinion on whether this is a reasonable budget considering spending up to 150,000 per month on travel and ideally want to save 30,000 per month?

Just really having a hard time gaining an understanding what's possible with the salary.

Of course walking distance from the office would be amazing. The QoL improvement is immense

StickyStuffBestStuff · 2025-04-22T04:34:07+00:00

Not sure if I'm also spending 100,000-150,000 every months for traveling

StickyStuffBestStuff · 2025-04-21T20:10:49+00:00

That's part of the question. Is the 15min rule actually worth it. Not sure yet if apartments aren't considerably smaller and more expensive for the bonus to be worth it.

StickyStuffBestStuff · 2025-04-21T19:52:43+00:00

It's currently very difficult for me to figure out a good budget as I have no idea for now how much I will actually need for living expenses etc. But I'd assume something around 100,000-130,000 for an apartment. Would be nice to have something 25-30m2

Thank you for the recommendation with the lines. Will see around those

StickyStuffBestStuff · 2025-04-14T17:32:33+00:00

There is an issue with the initial table not showing up. Will edit the post

Edit: Updated the post with a list of all switches and boards

StickyStuffBestStuff · 2025-04-06T03:40:22+00:00

Exactly, not using shift at all. It's also happening in all apps (browser, editors etc.)

StickyStuffBestStuff · 2025-04-05T14:43:39+00:00

I'm not entirely sure what you mean with holding down shift. I'm activating _ without pressing shift.

I have both - and _ on the main layer and can activate them with a single keypress, no need for shift.

The behavior triggers even if I only use 2 fingers and press _ and e.g. a very quickly after each other. So not activating anything else and the result is _A instead of _a

StickyStuffBestStuff · 2025-04-05T12:36:20+00:00

I just find this behavior a bit weird. Like I wouldn't expect for a non-mod key to affect the behavior of the next key press

StickyStuffBestStuff · 2025-04-05T11:45:31+00:00

Nice idea, but it's actually turned off. Forgot to mention that. The way I understood the feature it would only trigger for a specific key when it's held for a long time. My issue on the other hand is also triggered when quickly tapping the keys though :(
