The other day, I found an article listing the world's most expensive cities to live in for 2019. I was shocked to find Osaka listed in the top 10, but NOT Tokyo! What the hey?!
I did some research and found that Tokyo was listed in both the 2017 and 2018 rankings, while Osaka was only in the 2017 ranking (just behind Tokyo). I didn't check any further back, just wanted a bit of background reference. Also, I found that some of the lists are different depending on who publishes them, though they usually aren't too crazily different.
Granted, I live in Osaka Prefecture, not the City, and I haven't lived in Tokyo or the Kanto area for a very long time...but I was under the impression that Tokyo is the more expensive place to live of the two. Even if there's not much of a difference, how does Osaka end up in the top 10 and NOT Tokyo?!?
Any thoughts? Maybe a mistake on the part of the list publisher? Hey, isn't Japan all one big city? >_<
