Housing in Tokyo is known for being relatively affordable, actually.
ya it's funny when you watch some videos about "small apartments" in tokyo and only to realize they are still more cheaper and spacious than some NA options in big cities.
less expensive more expansive
Not in Tokyo, but farther out in Tokyo's residential cities (outside the 23 wards like Chiba and Saitama)
It's even cheaper the farther you get from train stations. There's a 30 minute walk "cliff" where residential land prices plummet when you're more than 30 minutes walk away from a train station.
If I lived in Tokyo, though, I certainly wouldn't want to be a 30+ minute walk from a train station. That makes leaving home a pretty big task.
30m walking is like a sub-10 minute bike ride. No biggie!
you could always use a bicycle
