Hey, cost of living, without rent. I'm talking about rent though.

2 rooms flats start at around CHF 1300, if you're lucky.

Edit: ah, you meant Japan side is rent and living.

If you actually read the page, you'll find that it does have a price for the rent. The other part was precisely my point. Rent in Japan is a lot lower. 1500 includes rent and cost of living.
