From what I've seen so far, living in the Japanese countryside (the inaka), is pretty cheap. Even within the "biggest city in the prefecture" (which really isn't saying much... I'm pretty sure Lexington is more "city-like" than Aomori), most of my friends pay 10,000 yen or less monthly for rent (generally not including water). I have a friend who is waaaay out in the inaka whose rent is less than half of that, though, and her house is huge! But, on the other hand, she does have to drive a car if she wants to go anywhere. I guess there are pros and cons to both sides.
