Deli work pay in Tokyo 2026, does it cover rent?
deli counter work in Tokyo is usually around 1,200 to 1,400 yen an hour, no tips. a small 1K in Setagaya runs 70k to 90k a month, so full time barely clears it. part time is strictly second income.
Tips do exist at some places, cash jar by the register.
yeah pretty much, though ward minimum wage bumps it a bit
tbh the bigger catch is the 社会保険 deduction, that's another 15% off your take-home before rent's even touched.
and it kicks in once u pass 880k a year or work 20hrs a week, so most counter staff get pulled into it without noticing
Add the 住民税 bill, hits in June.
levied on prior year's income so first bill hits year two
Depends on the ward too, Edogawa runs cheaper.
shift allowance bumps it past 1500 on lates
Fair, though full time at that rate still leaves you tight after utilities and food, so it's really a shared flat or nothing.
Where to find good tea near Camellia House in 2026?
book the house first, tea after at Higashiya
agreed, reserve ahead or u wont get a seat
Toraya Akasaka, before noon.
Higashiya Ginza is the one I send ppl to, the Akasaka branch gets packed with office lunch crowds by 12:30.
