Q. How much for monthly rent for an apartment that allows dogs in Japan????????????????????///
Answer
You might want to try narrowing it down a bit to a region or even a city as housing prices fluctuate wildly depending on where you choose to live. Also, unless you wind up living in a guest house or furnished apartment you'll need to spring for such things as appliances (gas table & fridge) and basically pay for everything including electricity, water, gas, cable, internet and whatever else they can shake you for.
To put this into perspective I'll give you two examples.
My friend and his wife lived in a two room apartment on the ground floor. Never choose the ground floor in Japan unless you happen to like humidity, mold and mildew. For this it cost them 66,000 yen a month for the apartment itself in an older building in a rather older part of town. The appliances they found, were donated by friends or they picked up really cheap. They had no cable so watched no TV, used the internet and relied on space heaters during the winter, fans in the summer and on those rare occasions when it got really hot they used the air conditioner. All in all it cost them around 75,000 yen a month not including food and sundry expenses.
My wife an I lived in a nicer area with 2 bedrooms, kitchen, dining room and living room. We bought our appliances new and had all the luxuries you'd expect. During the summer months the air conditioner ran pretty much constantly, during the winter we used the heaters that came with the apartment. We had a satellite dish and subscribed the movie channels and we had high speed ADSL installed.
Our apartment cost about 138,000 yen a month, the rest of the charges for gas, electricity, water, satellite and internet ran another 30,000 yen or so in the summer and maybe 25,000 yen in the winter. And we didn't live in an expensive place or area.
So it really depends on where you'll wind up in Japan (urban/suburban), what kind of building you wind up going into, how old it is and the area.

What do you think of the Mall of America having residential housing in 10 years?
Elijah
The Mall of America is big.But in a few years you'll be able to live there,work there,and get merried there.Is this a good idea?What do you think of it?How will this affect the Mall of America?
Answer
It seems to be happening all over America. It's been happening out here in California over the last five years or so. Pasadena's Mall has built luxury apartments that almost cost more than the average home out here. They can watch the Rose Parade from their windows. The Santa Anita Race Track is in the process of the legalities of a Mall with built in apartments. A lot of Malls with residences are going up around the Metro Train stations and the (Gold, Red, Blue, Green) line station stops.
It's an effort to cut down on traffic and gas consumption. Only problem is, what you don't spend on gas you spend on rent. The energy crisis is making money for everyone except the regular joe working for a living. It's also a way around, or a way of rewriting zoning laws, or at least making money for the city from them.
As our population expands we need more and more housing. Our large cities like, New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, etc. are way too crowded and people still keep moving in, so something has to be done. Traffic is getting murderous, literally!
The effect will probably be more business for the Malls because the customers are quite literally built in! Then there is the possibility of 24 hour shopping. There are 'flats' in New York that have no kitchens because people eat out so often.
Our larger cities are getting more and more like Japanese cities every day. It is getting more interesting by the day.
