Published in Cost of Living Comparison 2 mins read

No, based on cost of living comparisons, Japan is significantly more expensive than Pakistan.

Cost Comparison: Tokyo vs. Karachi

According to the provided reference using the Cost of Living Plus Rent Index, maintaining a specific standard of life costs substantially more in Tokyo, Japan, than in Karachi, Pakistan.

Here's a breakdown from the reference:

  • To enjoy the same standard of living in Karachi (assuming you rent) as you would with 750,000.0¥ in Tokyo (assuming you rent), you would need only around 209,110.3¥.
  • In Pakistani Rupees, this equivalent cost in Karachi is approximately 376,920.3Rs.

What This Means

This comparison clearly illustrates the vast difference in the cost of living between a major city in Japan (Tokyo) and a major city in Pakistan (Karachi). The fact that you require more than triple the amount of Japanese Yen (750,000¥ vs 209,110.3¥) in Tokyo to achieve the same lifestyle as in Karachi indicates that Japan is considerably more expensive than Pakistan.

Living expenses, including rent, daily necessities, transportation, and other costs, are generally much higher in Japan compared to Pakistan.
