    *Electricity charges are about 7 times in Japan. On the other hand, I think that the frequency of using air conditioners, which require the most power, will increase. Therefore, if you feel that your electricity bill is high when you first try living here, we recommend that you reduce the frequency of using the air conditioner or use a fan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
