How much is 70000 yen in Japan?

I have questions, because the company I work for "may" be transferring me to Japan in 6 months or a year.

They say they give 70000 yen monthly allowance... so I ask will I survive with 70000 yen/month? Suppose I have free lodging, and maybe food is the only major purchase everyday, will I still have money to save? How much is typical food in Japan anyway?

70000 yen allowance is already a hefty amount over here, as opposed to even "work salary" which is equivalent to 10000-30000 yen in this country.
