Is 1000 Yen a Lot in Japan?

(1,000 yen is about nine US dollars)

It’s about the price of two or three fancy coffee drinks.

The price doesn’t sound like a lot of money, but 1000 yen is enough to buy a week’s worth (5 meals) of food at the supermarket. I don’t think 1000 yen will buy you a week’s worth of groceries at most supermarkets.

One thousand yen can buy an A5-size notebook, which is not very much compared to the price of imported goods.

Also, even if foreigners think 1000 yen sounds like a lot of money, Japanese who have never used foreign currencies think that 10 US dollars are only 100 yen, so 1000 yen is like 100 dollars.

Suppose you think it’s not very much, considering that prices in Japan are higher than in other countries.

In that case, 500 yen is about 4 US dollars, and 600 yen is the same as 5 US dollars, so even though Japan has expensive food, it seems cheap compared with foreign currencies.

You can’t compare them directly like that, but you can buy a week’s worth of food for 1000 yen (9 US dollars).

You can find various valuable things for a reasonable price, such as chopsticks, straws, napkins, spoons, plastic bags for garbage and storage, stationery supplies… the list goes on.

Speaking of stationery supplies, you may want a pen to write or draw by hand rather than using your computer or tablet.

Surprisingly these can also be found for 100 yen but are usually limited to black ink. If you’re interested in learning more about Japanese culture and history, the 100 yen store can be a great place to start.
