I am going to Hiroshima University of Economics in Japan for a five-month exchange. Will 80,000 yen per month be enough for accommodation and living expenses there?

Eighty thousand yen is not enough. Calculate this way, five months, 80,000 yuan, an average of 16,000 yuan per month. I don’t know what kind of accommodation you are talking about, and what kind of living expenses it is. (Let’s count it as normal, including eating, sleeping, studying...without any entertainment items) is not enough. Because the most common bento in Japan costs 400 to 600 yen. Five months a month is 450 meals, and the lowest is 400 yen, (400*450) is 180,000 yen. If you don’t spend money on meals, then it’s a matter of accommodation. In Japan, apart from the wild mountains and mountains, some areas with few people or underdeveloped areas, the rent is very cheap, while others are relatively expensive, and the water and electricity bills are a mess. It costs several thousand yen every month, and your 80,000 yen is not enough for five months of expenses. In life, a can of ordinary drinks costs 80 to 150 yen in a vending machine, cigarettes cost more than 300 yen, and toothpaste is also about 400 yen. Do the math for yourself~~ I hope this helps.

Hiroshima is far away from Fukushima, thousands of miles away! Don't worry. I went to Fukuoka in April this year and it was no problem at all. In addition, the Hiroshima area belongs to the rainy season at the end of June and early August. Sometimes it rains for a month continuously. Be sure to bring rain gear and prevent mildew.
