Commuter issues
The cost of living in Osaka is high due to restrictive urban regulations, high density development, and the lack of rural space.
Many cities throughout Japan have adopted these regulations and standards in order to strengthen their economies. However, this has resulted in increased density and size of the city, making it expensive to live.
In addition to the increased size of the city, increased cost of living is caused by restricted parking, pricey housing options, and high utility costs such as electricity and water.
But where does all the money go? Unfortunately, not very far!

To help ease your wallet into Osaka, here are some tips for limited budgeters.
Limited housing supply
Building in central Osaka is extremely limited due to its high demand. As more people move to the city, fewer are willing to commit resources to housing.
This limited housing supply has been a major cause for expensive living costs. Property prices in central Osaka can reach over US$500,000!
By having so much demand for housing, local authorities are forced to run up the cost of property to meet their demands. This can sometimes result in poor quality housing and rampant corruption.
Due to the high cost of property in central Osaka, many opt to live closer to work or an educational institute rather than travel long distances every day. This causes isolation and stress, which can lead to costly mistakes like renting or buying a home they do not fully trust themself with.
