  • Often, people say that it's cheaper to live in the countryside in Japan when compared to the city.

  • Free price of vegetables depends on the product, but overall, I would say the countryside has slightly better pricing.

  • Just look at all the selection behind me.

  • You won't find fresh fist like this in a Tokyo supermarket, so I noticed a greater difference in price in the protein section.

  • Fresh meat and fish are definitely cheaper in the countryside.

  • Sashi Mu.

  • It's hard to judge, since the countryside offers large family packs with Tokyo, offers smaller individual packs.

  • All in all, though, the countries that has a better value so everything else was cheaper in the countryside except the rice.

  • But there's not a huge difference.

  • So it's true that the groceries air slightly cheaper in the countryside, especially when it comes to the meat and fish.
