isn't the idea of digital nomadding to go to countries with low cost-of-living
Japan has low cost of living
Only in the rural areas where people struggle to get jobs. Where the jobs are, in the cities, cost is extremely high. If you're a digital nomad then you can use your money from other sources to live cheaply in the Japanese countryside.
CoL in Japanese cities is low for someone on a western salary (which is what we're talking about here)

Monthly CoL 1-person: US$1363 Tokyo vs. $4030 NYC
I wonder how hard it would be to get a place to live for only 6-months. Is a 6month lease a common thing in Japan?
