Part-time wages in Japan
Ever wondered how part-time hourly rates go in Japan?
McDonalds pays anywhere from ¥800 (high schoolers) to ¥1065 depending on which timeshift you take. Includes 30% meal discount.
Mos Burger pays pretty much the same as McD. But high schoolers start off a little better here. They also cover transportation costs.
Japanese izakaya rates are slightly better, starting off at ¥950 per hour. But in exchange, you don’t have much choice in terms of hours.
If you want to manage an izakaya, monthly rates are ¥241,000.
Yoshinoya seem to have the better of hourly rates. After all, everyone loves a good bowl of gyudon.
How are part-time rates where you live?

That’s tough! I’ve heard that it’s also pretty hard applying for credit as a foreigner here. I went through the university and got a student card. It was a smooth process. Maybe because I had a scholarship and credit limit was… student. ^^. Now that I’ve graduated, they just sent me a regular card – with annual fees. I do wonder how hard it will be if I were to apply it on my own.
