Gas Fees in Japan

Gases are used in many Japanese lives.

The gases are divided into two major categories; city gas and propane gas.

The city gas consists primarily of methane, and it is supplied through gas pipes.

On the other hand, the propane gas consists mainly butane or propane, and it is supplied from gas cylinders that are installed outdoors.

The propane gas has some advantages, such as the strength of firepower and the adaptability in times of disaster, but it is very expensive instead.

I think the propane gas costs more than double for the city gas in most cases.

If you are looking for your apartment in Japan, please consider which to choose the city gas or the propane gas.

If the apartment is all-electric type, there is no need to worry about the gas.

日本のガス料金

日本で生活するとき、多くの場合ガスが利用されます。

そして、ガスの種類は都市ガスとプロパンガスに大別されます。

都市ガスはメタンを主成分としており、ガス管を通して供給されます。

一方、プロパンガスはブタンやプロパンを主成分としており、屋外に設置したボンベから供給されます。

プロパンガスは火力が強いことと、災害時にも強いというメリットを持ちますが、その分値段がとても高いです。

ほとんどの場合、プロパンガスの料金は都市ガスの料金の2倍以上すると思います。

もし日本で住む場所を探す場合は、プロパンガスか都市ガスなのかに気をつけることをおすすめします。

もしそれがオール電化であれば、ガスのことを気にする必要はありません。

I have a feeling I'm on city gas, though I hate that there's such a long delay between turning on the faucet, and having hot water run. T_T
