    You both win. You both were able to have a wonderful day inside Tokyo for a very reasonable expense.

    Yo sign me up for a day in Yoyogi park with cherry blossoms & cafe food. Alex's itinerary takes my vote over rule-breaking Chris😂(Although that Asakura House is also going on my 'go to' list!)

    I like the idea of a picnic in the park, but it would be too hot in late July, early August, right? I would imagine so.

      Yes it can be quite hot in those months so it's best to not spend prolonged periods outside.

    I don't know, you guys seem to have teleported to a couple places. I mean, your starting points, how did you get there, on foot? How did you get to Shibuya? And how do you get back to your lodgings after the day is over? All of that has to figure into the budget, since you have to spend it just the same.

    • @tokyocheapo
      @tokyocheapo  ปีที่แล้ว

      Good question! The area covered is between Shinjuku and Shibuya, which is a popular spot for people to stay. Chris’s itinerary covered the larger distance, but included a train trip from Shinjuku to Ebisu. For both itineraries, getting back the start point would involve a walk of 20-50mins or an extra ¥150-¥170 train fare
