Your asking a pretty impossible question. Everyone's habits are different, and everyone spends different amounts of money. I know someone who managed to live for 70.000yen a month all included, and another who had problems getting by on 200.000yen a month. Firstly it greatly depends on where in Japan you'll be living. The different areas of the country have very big differences in the prices of their apartments, with Tokyo being the most expensive. And how much your monthly expenses will be will also be determined on where you live, and what kind of lifestyle you have, what kind of food you eat, etc. So without being a bit more specific, the only "answers" you'll get will be wrong, just as they would for pretty much any country such a question would be asked about. As a general note though, do realize that the Japanese apartments and houses are generally a lot smaller than the western ones, and that you can easily pay a lot of money for not so much space. Instead I'll answer a bit of a different question, which it seems you might be unaware of: You'll need a bachelors degree (4 year degree) to get a working visa in Japan, no way around that besides marrying a Japanese citizen. To get the visa, you also need a company to sponsor you, so you need to have your job BEFORE going there. The work visa's are generally for 1 or 2 years at a time.
