I MENTIONED I travelled with some friends for two weeks; the total cost of our accommodation and transportation came in at £530 ($690) each. On top of this we spent at least another £600 each on food/drink, as it was their first time to Japan and they wanted to splash out and try everything. So in total around £1100 for the two weeks (NOT including their return flights to Japan from the UK). IF you have any budget travel wisdom, please share away below!

Back in 2014 we went hiking in Japan for three weeks, starting in Okinawa and ending in Tokyo. Managed it with a budget of $3000, including both Japan rail pass(2weeks) and flight tickets. Tent spots tended to be very cheap back then(stretching between 300-1500 yen a night). Spent many nights in capsule hotels as well, which I cannot recommend enough! Eat breakfast at Lawson or other convenience stores!

I recommend staying at AirBnb apartments in Japan rather than hotels. The prices are reasonable and you can pick locations really close to train stations and attractions you want to visit. A lot of the apartments also have self check in, which was so useful when we arrived late in the evening from travelling.

My de-facto cheapo strategy when I was living in Tokyo was to head to any of the numerous 'Yayoi Ken' restaurants and order the cheapest 'ichiju sansai', a set meal (which is either grilled miso mackerel or deep fried chicken) with unlimited top ups (it's self service, so don't feel shy) of plain, white rice. I would basically fast till as long as I can till about 3-4 pm (there was once I hit a 6 pm record, but it was the summer and I did nothing but hang out at Tower Records listening to records) and head to Yayoiken and eat 6 bowls of rice or something. It's immensely fulfilling for a mere 590 yen. The meal will last you an entire day. Comes with free cold unlimited green tea, pickles and miso soup too. It gets pretty packed during rush hours, but at other times, you can sit there as long as you wish without anyone bothering you, which basically means you can eat as much rice as you like. Some of these branches (like the one in Ginza, several in Shinjuku) are open 24 hours!!!!! That's insanely awesome!!! : )

Honestly looking at how much space you get for that price, I seriously would consider to go for love hotels ;))

4 years ago my ex-girlfriend and I spent 3 months travelling around Japan. We did it very low budget. We hitchhiked everywhere. It turned out Japanese people loved to have us in their car. They were very nice in general. It was hard to have a conversation though, as they hardly understood English and we din't speak Japanese. But guess what? If you got your hands to gesture with and a friendly smile you don't really need to speak the same language. We had a small 2-person tent with us in our backpacks. We camped in forests, city parks and... well... anywhere really. It was wonderful, and we never felt unsafe. Japan is the safest place in the world. Another great thing: Japan had many (very clean) public toilets, which offered a way to wash ourselves in the morning. We ate a lot of onigiri from the convenience stores. We sometimes ate at the Japanese fast food places like Matsui. Of our 3 months we spent 1 month in Tokyo, volunteering at a hostel. We had to do the beds and clean the place for 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. In return they gave us free accommodation and free lunch. We also spent a couple of weeks volunteering for an oyster farmer in Kumihama Bay. In return he gave us free accommodation and 3 excellent meals a day. They were a lovely family. If I have to guess what our average spendings were, I would say not even 5 euros a day. (Not including flights.) It does include entrance fees to a couple of museums (like the ones about the atomic bombs in Nagasaki and Hiroshima). It also includes a nicer meal every now and then, like sushi. And it includes some unforgettable nights at karaoke places and a few refreshing onsen visits. Sure, we did our trip in Japan on a low low low budget, but thanks to our hitchhiking we met hunderds of Japanese people. We spent our nights in our tent often surrounded by nature. We spent 1 month in one of the most expensive cities in the world, Tokyo. If we hadn't travelled the way we did it, we would have spent our entire budget after two weeks. Now we got to spent 3 months in that great country - AND it made our experience a whole lot better! I hope my little story inspires others who also don't have a lot of budget, but who want to see Japan badly, to go there anyway. :-)

You, I like you. This is the way I would prefer to do it, too. I live in the Nederlands now, and there was a time when I had to leave my current acomodation, but failed to secure a new one. I changed provinces, got myself a job, but failed to get a room. So I deposited most of my stuff with friends, bought myself a hammock, sleeping bag, and additional survival stuff as I went on, learning from my mistakes. I worked mixed hours, it was not always busy enough to keep us around full time, but I worked plenty. They had cameras in bicycle shed, so no one tried to steal my stuff while I was at work. I charged my phone and 3DS there, I went to the gym almost every day to take showers, I used friends or dedicated establishments for laundry, stayed in KFC if I wanted internet, and slept in parks, forests, on the beach, basically whenever, and would cycle everywhere or take trains. I spend 7 months living this way, and I was healthy like a bull - not even a cold even if I stood shirtless in rain at 5am, and because I was on the move all the time and used the gym so often I got ridiculously buff and ripped, and saved up like 2k euro in the process lol.

And those who travel only to Tokyo better buy Tokyo one-day ticket(and if you figure out a good route((for examlple you never use Yamanote-line or other JR lines)), Metro&Toei 1day pass will or only Metro 1day pass might be enough). Those who travel only to the central area of Kyoto need only 1-day bus ticket, but if you go to Arashiyama(not cental) or Todai-ji(in Nara), you have to purchase train tickets as well.

It's a gift-giving culture, so you pretty much just have to grin and bare a lot of "giri" (obligation) expenses that add up if you have any sort of social involvement at all.

Hmmm? Hawaii is expensive. Honolulu is literally the most isolated large city in the world- they have to import a lot of stuff, so day to day costs are high. Housing is pretty high too. And unlike Japan, the lowest levels of living are dirtier with a bit more of a crime risk. Since it never gets too cold it's probably a better place to be homeless, but low budget end you would probably be better off in Japan someplace. Higher budget end, they're both beautiful places so it's just a matter of cultural preference.

Night buses really are amazing. The ones in Europe can be pretty uncomfortable and expensive, but we used Cruz del sur in Peru. They were so comfy and cheap plus we didn't waste our days travelling! Definitely a good way to go if you want to save money and time on a short trip.

My partner and I lived in Japan for 4 years, and whenever we were travelling, we almost always used Business Hotels. The rooms tend to be small, but they're clean and comfortable, a perfectly good place to rest your head at night, and much cheaper than regular hotels, but with the quiet and privacy you won't get a hostel. And Japanese fast food is brilliant, so much better and more satisfying than McDonalds. Along with the donburi (rice bowls) I was a huge fan of the Doutor coffee chain coffee & sandwich lunch set for ~¥400.

I haven’t really thought about visiting Japan but it seems so cool and you’re super encouraging lol. This place looks amazing I want to visit now

i travelled to japan 22 times... usually i stay there for 3 to 4 weeks. 1st time i went i spent around 7000 dollars...now as im used to it i spend an average of 3300 dollars. the thing is that you need to experience it couple of times till you find your sweet spot. the most expensive stuff i found are shopping (dont go near expensive brands as theyre much more expensive than europe or middle east). alternatively, use their brands as they are really really good. especially beauty stuff and food. second, taxis (avoid them as much as possible). third use jr pass ONLY if youre travelling to many long range cities (usually 3 or more). forth, try to avoid hotels at the HEART of the city centre as it gets much cheaper as you go further (there are many nice hotels with cheaper fares). fifth, for the bullet trains (shinkansen), do not use green cars as they are way expensive. sixth, there are much cheaper stuff in asakusa jump shops than ordinary shops. make sure to visit them first. seventh, pre book your activites as they are slightly cheaper. eighth, japan tends to be cheaper as you go away from tokyo or osaka. for example hokkaido is cheaper than tokyo. these are the tips i got in top of my head so far. extra: if you like hiking and stuff, visit explore-shareDOTcom. their rates are much cheaper.

+Abroad in Japan I am an English teacher, and I teach in Hispanic countries (currently Dominican Republic). I exploded with laughter when you said Nomihoudai, that being that even though I have studied Japanese, I have yet to fully learn it, and I actually do speak Spanish, so the word Nomihoudai in pronunciation is almost identical to the rude Spanish expression " No me Joda" which translates to " Do not F**k with me". When I get some students that are interested in learning Japanese and are from a Spanish speaking back ground I motivate them by always mentioning that at least in pronunciation they have it easy with learning Japanese due to both languages sharing mostly same phonetics.

Hi Chris. Thank you for doing this. I find your videos great and informative. Keep it up.

A Manga-cafe is a great place to sleep if you don't have a reservation. Usually under 20$ for 8-12h including hot drinks and a PC. Also over TripAdvisor I found enough hostels starting at 10$ a night, and enough capsule hotels starting at 15$ all over Japan. One capsule hotel in Tokyo I can recommend is Capsule Value Kanda. I payed 12€ a night, and it is 1 stop from Akihabara and Tokyo station. Also very nice and clean, with a traditional Japanese bath. Thought the capsules are a bit older. In Kyoto I stayed in a private double room with a friend for 10€ a person (20€ in total) per night. The place was called small world guest house. It was a bit far from the city centre and the room was tiny, but it was still good, and the building was a very old traditional Japanese House.

Most decent restaurants, bars and izakayas accept credit cards for dinner, but not for lunch ( unless it is an expensive lunch ). Most cheap diners, fast food and cafes don't. It isn't very common to use or accept credit cards for low priced stuff. Let's say that if your bill is less than 1500 yens, then it is very probable that they won't accept credit card payment. A cheap meal is bento (box lunch). There are special stores like Origin Bento, or you can find them in some cheap diners too. A bento in a convenience store is cheap, but in a Supermarket it is even cheaper, so if you can, go to a supermarket. And most supermarkets accept credit cards. And, you also have a manga kissaten as an alternative for a place to stay for one night. A manga kissaten is a place where you can read all the manga (in japanese) you want, watch TV, use a computer, internet, etc for a fixed fee that can be per hour or per night. They have individual rooms with padded floor and a couch, and usually with enough space to sleep. You can also use the shower room. Most people use this in the night when they miss the last train.

I found the train travel pass only worked out if you literally travel the whole circular route from Tokyo and back again. If you don’t want to go to Hiroshima for example, it was much cheaper to buy local trains and take a domestic flight from Tokyo to Osaka. It was also more fun trying to figure out the local trains, took about 3 days to learn the colour system and train companies 👍👍

I am doing my research into my Japan holiday planning, this video helped immensely.

Very very helpful video! Thank you! 😊

Great video! Yeah, a lot of people make out Japan to be a super expensive place but, it is actually quite affordable. Since Korea is really close to Japan I've visited on multiple occasions for shopping and touring. From those experiences I guarantee you can save A LOT of money if you plan properly. A lot of the parts people make mistakes in when planning is transportation. You can literally spend days worth of hotel fees on transportation if your not smart about it. So here are some rules to keep in mind if your traveling on a budget. RULE #1 Never use a taxi! You might feel a little lazy or bewildered on how to get to your destination. But, in most major cities of Japan public and private transportation is very well developed. And taxis are EXPENSIVE. A twenty minute drive will land you over 2000 yen. If you happen to lose your way to a destination just ask for directions. :) Japanese are very kind in that aspect. Even if you can't speak a word of Japanese, showing them a destination in google map is often enough and they will help you out as much as possible. Seriously in several occassions strangers walked me all the way to the destination! RULE #2 Always check where you are visiting. I advise people who visit Japan to check where they want to visit before hand(or at least the major stops) and check if their subway pass or any sort of travel pass they've got covers the locations. I've seen a lot of people having to get new tickets or passes because the train lines they wished to take were not covered by there travel pass. For instance Osaka has like three different subway/train lines all with seperate payment because they fall under different companies. So the pass you have might only cover one of those lines and not the others. RULE #3 Check your travel objective. This might be a little overlaping with Rule #2 but, hear me out. Depending on your travel objective the type of travel pass or transportation ticket you'd want to get will vary. Drastically. If you look up the different travel passes, you can easily find that there are passes designed for shoppers, sight seekers, long term or short term travel. They also come with different perks for specific people, like discounts to museum or castle entrance fees and so on. RULE #4 Step away from that hotel. Not being able to stay at a hotel might seem like a bummer. But if your going to half ass and stay at an average hotel it is much better to go for guest houses or Air Bnb deals. Especailly if your traveling with friends of 3~4 Air bnb can be a god send. Some guest houses will also have interesting tourist guides to the local area. The kind of experiences you'd normally not know if you went to a fancy hotel. Woah this has gotten out of control... Well you can sense my excitement with traveling to Japan. I've said rules and what not, but remember its just a trip. You don't have to follow your plans by the book. Just have a blast and enjoy your stay in Japan like I've did. :)

While a taxi is hardly ever a good option, it's not never a good option, particularly if there are at least 3 and ideally 4 of you. They're ridiculously expensive, but if your route is relatively short but requires a train company transfer (metro to JR, for example), the taxi can come out ahead with a party of 4 and close enough to be worth saving the trouble with 3. But the reality is we're so used to not even considering taxis in Tokyo that I'm always halfway to the destination before I realize that it was actually a taxi-ideal route and then it's too late to be worth it.

@homicide58halo

6 жыл бұрын

+redfish337 I guess you are right on that. But, most of the time people would already be in possesion of travel passes that cover subways or buses. It'd be nice to take a taxi if its a one stop journey but, often you'd be moving around the city all day. So, it seems a bit wasteful if you already bought a travel pass.

"a lot of people make out Japan to be a super expensive place but, it is actually quite affordable" This is because compared to many nearby countries it is vastly more expensive. Maybe 5x as as expensive as Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, or Indonesia, 2-3x the price of Taiwan, or Singapore, and even a bit more expensive than Hong Kong! For someone from SK maybe you don't realise it because SK and JP are similarly priced. And yes, taxi are always a scam in all counties. Use Uber or Grab for a fraction of the cost, easier to use and faster, plus they have accountability.

People aren't comparing Japan with Thailand and Malaysia. Japan... probably from the bubble years, had a reputation as being the most expensive country, period. That's their rep, and it's been their rep for decades. People don't expect Japan to be cheap. They expect it to be expensive- even more expensive than Western countries, even beating out the Nordic countries. I mean, if you're from the West and they're telling you Japan is expensive, you're expecting it to be more expensive than where you're from. And right now... ehh... not really.

I stayed at Airbnb almost exclusively in Japan for my 3 week stay. Ended up at about 20-30 per night. I had great hosts and they really helped with everything!

Ive always wanted to go to japan ! Planning my trip soon!

I really want to go. I love the culture and a lot of things from Japan. I've even thought about moving there. But, I plan on going to visit a few times in the future before even looking into that. I just hope this pandemic ends soon so myself and my friends can all go together.

If you go to a normal supermarket in the evening you can find ready meals with the price lowered since they want to get rid of everything. You can get some pretty big boxes of food for a very small sum that way:)

I have visited Japan twice now, once last summer 2016 and just now Dec. 2017. Yes, there are definitely things that are expensive especially in Tokyo but boy, you also have lots of cheap options. This video is really good but I just want to clarify some things and/or add info. The Tokyo subway is vast and is operated by multiple different lines (private and government). One is a private company which is Japan Rail who also operate the Shinkansen. You can only get the Japan Rail pass outside of Japan as a tourist and is definitely worth it. Like the video says, it only takes one long ride on the Shinkansen to make the 1 week pass worth it and on top of that you can ride the Japan Rail trains in the city for free. BUT, here is the clarification, JR is not the metro/subway, it is only a portion of it. There is a massive network of trains. If you ONLY got the JR pass, you cannot ride the rest of the subway system in Tokyo. You can only ride on the trains operated by JR. Now the video is wrong in that it says you have to stand around buying tickets if you don't get the JR pass. That's also not true. What you should do is to buy a PASMO or SUICA card. These are literally train debit cards and they work across all these different train companies. They come preloaded with amounts and you can just tap your way through all the trains and it will deduct an amount each time. No need to go buy a ticket each time and figure out how much it costs. When the balance runs low (and you'll see your balance every time you tap), you can just re-charge them in the ticket machines. I got mine from Haneda airport and when I left I just returned it at the airport and I got a 500 Yen deposit refund for the card. Concerning the food, I would definitely pick Yoshinoya over the other ones. I find its quality just a bit better and the prices just as good. But I had a lunch at Nakajima in Shinjuku and it is a 1 Michelin Star restaurant. Guess how much the lunch is: 800 Yen! So how's that for a budget lunch at a 1 Michelin star restaurant. It opens at 11:30am so lineup early. I waited just short of an hour but if you get there like 11:30am your wait should be shorter. There is also a 1 Michelin star ramen place in Tokyo (near Sengoku) and cheapest ramen is 1000 Yen, its name is Tsuta. And there are many other top notch ramen shops whose prices are cheaper too. I also find 7 Eleven, Lawson, Family Mart to be full of good stuff to buy but you can try their local grocery stores and they have even MORE items with the same prices. And the food shops in the train stations are amazing and tons of selection with excellent prices. I also agree with the video's recommendation of business hotel. I got one last year and it slept 3 of us plenty well with a kitchen/dining table too and it was just a bit higher than the capsule hotel prices. Happy travels in Japan!

Small clarification: It's completely legal to drink on the street in London. There are certain ares where it's requested one refrain but even in those areas it's not illegal. (Though if you're behaving poorly, the police can confiscate your beverage.) It was, however, recently made illegal to drink on public transportation.

Went to Tokyo for ten nights and I know it isn't the same as living there. But I found attractions, travel, groceries and restaurants amongst other things to be relatively cheap. Spent about £600, ate out a lot, did a load of activities and bought a few goods to take home. This was in december mind, so could spend a bit more in spring/summer.

The Japan rail pass is really worth it. You can’t use on the subway but you can on some busses. Also a Japan data sim for your phone makes getting around really easy. Unlimited data so just keep that phone charged

So that part was $2,000 for flight & Hotel. I only took $1000 with me ......I ate like a king every day and it came to about $325 my whole trip. That is amazing. I found Tokyo (if you stay in Tokyo) to be extremely cheap. My opinion. I'm going back after first of year in Feb 2018 cause I loved it so much. I can't wait.

Also consider grocery stores... their ready to eat meals get cleared out every evening and you can get them for half off (or better). Usually that comes out to 5-6pm. When my friend and I visited a few years ago we accidentally discovered this. You can get some really good and filling food for dirt cheap. If you wanted to, I am confident you could get away with under $10 a day on meals, even if you tend to eat a lot. Of course, you are going to be tempted by all kinds of other stuff too, especially if you are traveling. But if you are a week in and look at your expenses and get a little nervous, you can save yourself a bunch of cash to get back on track.

It's usually by street, with the "no alcohol zone" signs. Part of the street outside my uni halls had that I think although, being uni, I doubt anyone paid any attention to it.

Most Police will give you the benefit of the doubt too, so they'll tell you to move along out of the no drinking zone.
