| Very high. Last I knew Tokyo and San Francisco were neck and neck for the most expensive cities in the world.
As for cleanliness, all Asia attempts to be very clean - no shoes in the house, etc. It's just that poor people everywhere have difficulty.
The Japanese have super toilets! At least the wealthy ones do.

| I admire that the Japanese people do not wear shoes in their houses.
We take ours off when entering the house--sure saves the rugs. |

The Japanese have super toilets! At least the welthy ones do. I remember. The bathrooms were some of the most elegant I've ever seen. Showers for getting clean, and separate, deep tubs for soaking in after. Huge signs said that we were nefer to put soap in the tubs, only in the showers. Even the farmhouses we visited had the same features - tubs on the farms were often made of wood, but they were as deep and large as the tile ones in the hotels. |
