TOKYO GUIDEBOOK takashifromjapan.com/tokyocompleteguide

I just came back from Japan this week. It wasn't as expensive as I thought it would be and it's definitely cheaper than Norway. The airfare to Japan might push up your total price but if you're not a foodie, you can save a bundle on food by eating from 7-11. Yes, you can buy healthy food from a convenience store. The train fares are cheap in comparison to Europe, they go everywhere and run on time. I'd definitely recommend a visit.

I was in Japan for two weeks last month - I spent $1500 cad or $1100 usd. That included $300 for a JR Pass (which saved me $700), $45 a night avereage for 3 star business hotels, food and drink. Pretty reasonable and much cheaper than North America. My flight cost me $250 as I was coming from Vietnam.

This channel is really so much fun to watch! Even for me who neither speaks Japanese nor has ever been to Japan - and I don't know if I ever will. Just love your videos! Thank you for making Japan so interesting!

As someone who lives in Vancouver, Canada, which is one of the most expensive places in North America, I found my travel in Japan to be relatively inexpensive compared to what I'm used to at home. My round trip flight with Japan Airlines was only about $1200 cad and since I mostly stayed at hostels or B&B's my costs there was only about $10-20 per night. Food is super inexpensive compared to here so that was amazing because it's all so delicious. I brought about $3500 with me for my 18 day visit and even with everywhere I traveled and also buying gifts and souvenirs I still came home with about $700 of that left when I had expected to spend it all. I have loved both visits I have taken to Japan and fully plan to go there again soon, it's a beautiful country with so many wonderful places to visit and history to experience.

Flight is the most expensive part, other than that Japan is not as expensive as it used to be. Before the pandemic and all the inflation everywhere food and other things used to be more expensive in Japan than in my country, now is the other way around. Plane ticket did skyrocketed in price everywhere though. Also if you are getting paid in USD or EUR, Japan is really cheap right now.

How much did you spend in Japan? If you came to Japan before, Please lmk in the comments!

This amazing!! Thank you! It’ll def make it easier to plan my trip

Cheap or expensive is relative. To southeast countries,Japan is more "expensive" but Japan has definitely become more affordable now compared to in the past. I am from Indonesia and my budget in Japan was about 2k USD for 14 days and it's enough for everything including flight which cost maybe 800 USD.

Useful and interesting, thanks for putting out the effort for such great videos!

Great video. Helpful seeing what people are spending. Can't wait to watch your solo traveler episode. 😊

I was in Japan in september and didn't spend much on food and accommodation, I stayed in a Tokyo guesthouse with tatami mats for 150 dollars for 6 days. A bowl of ramen/udon/soba was usually 7 dollars which is super affordable. The only time when I went over budget was when I went shopping in Akihabara and bought some collectable electronics.

Wow! Talk about worlds colliding! I watch a lot of Toripeebs content about Japan and how to travel there too!

I love your channel. I've learned so much about visiting Japan. It's been a huge help with my trip planning.

I watched a video from a year ago and your English was good but compared to now, it’s really good. Thank you for the videos from Texas

I'm going to Japan in April, so your videos are extremely helpful/ educational. Thank you for making them!

Great segment. I do a lot of traveling, so I'm always looking for great deals. I managed to keep our daily average in Japan to under $100US per day. That includes food, accommodations and transportation. The only thing that's non-negotiable is the Shinkansen - which goes anywhere from $50-$200 one way depending on where/when you're going. Also, outside of big cities things get a lot cheaper. Food and buses in the countryside were less than $20 a day combined!

Thanks for all the content❤

This is such a useful video, thank you Takashii!
