Vehicles are generally much less expensive in Iwakuni than in most U.S. Electric/gas bills in excess of $500 are not unusual during high energy use months. Agents' fees are reimbursed over the term of the lease and security deposits are returned at the end of the lease less any damage charges or lease termination fees. This price does not include the fees associated with boarding a pet in the installation's kennel for the duration of its quarantine. In all, you can expect to pay between $7,000-$10,000 to move into a house off-base and all expenses will be paid in Yen. Plan to put down 3-4 months rent at the time you sign your lease. In addition, when moving into an offbase rental you will be required to pay first and last months rent, security deposit, agent fee, and insurance. For those assigned housing off-base, rents are much higher per square foot than most US cities. Most personnel coming to the installation can expect to live on-base.
Military members stationed in Japan receive a cost of living allowance. Local commissary prices are generally higher than CONUS commissary prices, particularly for produce. Off-base costs in Japan tend to be high compared to stateside prices.
