minus-square@anubis119@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish35•9 months agoWikipedia article puts the pricing in Japan between 18 to 36 USD per night. That’s a range between 540 to 1080 USD per month. That makes San Francisco pricing average.
minus-square@erwan@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglish11•9 months agoYou can’t really compare a per night pricing to a per month pricing. Per month is always cheaper that per night but you loose the flexibility. Anyway the price difference makes sense because SF housing is more expensive than Tokyo.
