Japan is truly fascinating. Cost of living aside, I think the wide range of activities that one can do plus the many beautiful places that are available to see can make up for what ever cons you can think of.
The total spendings were $155 but that already included $40 of medicine and $60 of clothes (which we aren't likely spending daily) so the real daily expenditures are only $55 or 8000 JPY (or A$80), with accommodation. Compared to Sydney where A$80 might be unable to get you a night in a hotel...
This was rlly helpfull! My dream is to travel to Japan, but everyone says is so expensive. So I have been looking for budgets tips so I can plan everything!!
Picking onigiri with fried chicken and spend some time deciding which drink to choose from shelves in conbini is my every morning's habit when travelling in Japan. I'm really miss Tokyo. Wish Japan opening to tourist soon !
I have spent two big holidays in Japan traveling to a number of city's and I can say its far cheaper eating out and getting around in Tokyo & Kyoto then New York & London & I was on a tight budget and I was spending around $30 PER-DAY including food and local train travel, I also planned my holiday very well in advance & The only expensive part was the fight form the UK so Planning & Researching is the key👍✌⛩👘👘👘😊
@@jamesspeed8368 Hi James, how can I help? , TH-cam is a treasure trove of help in the form of video where your going to visit. At Narati Airport you can pick up a phone card which works as a live street map it cost about$20 for 4 weeks & it won't cost your phone network meaning you won't be able to use your phone. I also spent more than a year researching Japan & it all payed off. A lot of shop staff are also very helpful & train station staff are fantastic. good luck
Thanks for sharing your budger per day as im arriving TYO as a tourist tomorrow evening! At least i know how much i need for all the train rides for 7 days! 👍🏻👍🏻
I haven’t been to Japan but with the cost of flights and activities etc it’s cheaper to go there for a month then to travel anyway in Australia for much more then a week so
Aside from the fact that you're not going to spend $40 daily on creams, I'd say the food and transportation is pretty fairly priced. Although you only ate at restaurants which ofc will be more expensive than actually making your own food.
That's right, if you buy groceries and cook yourself you can save more money👍 (Although I find some groceries pretty expensive in Japan such as fruits)
First time visitor to your channel but it seems like once you cut out all of the 'silly' stuff (medicines which aren't daily and a sleeping pod) it is actually quite affordable. Hafa Adai from Guam.
$160 a day. That adds up to $1100 a week, or $4480 a month. And about $53000 a year. Convert that to yen (jpy) it's about 7,843,280.40. no wonder they say Tokyo is one of the most expensive cities to live in.
If seems like if I save $100 USD begining January for every check I get, would that be enough for a December Trip for like 7 days while sleeping in the First Cabin's, and simply walking around, and when I get hungry, simply go to that same resturant a few times? ( I want to make my first trip to Japan a "Test Run/Week-End Getaway" ) type of feeling before going all out in a 14 day stay. Jus the idea of only having 7 days to do a little bit of things is exiciting as it is. Though, I gotta check when is the best months to go when it's not as many tourist, and even more affortable because why not? OR I may just set aside $200 per check, and have about $5200 to budget with? Maybe $4000 if I substract 6 nights at a Cabin, then the flight to japan, and back to america...and other things...I may just have $1000-$2000 to spend...just throwing out ideas...I'm seriously looking into this.
Funny to see the difference in prices. Western europe would be around 2 to 3x more expensive including travel costs. Except for the clothing when you go to larger chains. South europe is cheaper to eat out but the rest almost the same as the west. Cool video - thanks!
Yeah if you really know where to buy stuff it wouldn't be that expensive! (Although some things are more expensive in Japan such as rent and public transportation etc.)
A 7 day budgeted trip to Tokyo (if you budget well and plan what you want to do ahead) is relatively cheap. A week trip in Tokyo (just Tokyo, no other city travel like Kyoto or Osaka or hironshima. Just Tokyo) will cost $3,000 (budgeted) to $5,000 (expensive) American dollars. So traveling to Japan is not that expensive, especially if you plan a head of what you wanna do. Also, if you do want to travel to different cities (skipping Tokyo completely), flying landing in Osaka is the best option. For a week you can travel from Osaka to Kyoto and to Nara pretty easily and costs about the same as the Tokyo trip I mentioned above. $3,000 to $5,000 for all 3 cities in 1 week. (Osaka, Kyoto, Nara) I calculated and trips only gets expensive when, a.) when you spend 2 weeks or more in Japan b.) travel far distances, like from Tokyo to Osaka to Kyoto to Nara to through Osaka to Hiroshima then back to Tokyo to fly home. If you do one spot/city at a time then the trip is cheap. :) Hope this helps.

Japan is far more safe, fun, convenient and affordable than most cities in America! We enjoyed visiting Japan the most!
Japan is truly fascinating. Cost of living aside, I think the wide range of activities that one can do plus the many beautiful places that are available to see can make up for what ever cons you can think of.
That's right, I think it's great that you can enjoy so many different things in Japan from the beautiful nature to the modern city life

I'm really miss Tokyo. Wish Japan opening to tourist soon !
When I stay in a foreign country I always miss Japan's conbini!
Yes I hope Japan will lift the entry ban soon too
@@NomadicWes wat ban?? covid was years ago, is there any ban now?
Love Japan and LOVE your videos. Thank you for sharing all of your wisdom.
I went to Japan before Corona started, absolutely loved visiting Tokyo and the other places!
Great vedio as always, and looking forward to your new travel vedio😎
Hehe thank you!!
This made me miss staying at capsule hotels in Japan! I hope i can go back soon especially now that they are opening up!

$30 per day is actually so impressive! I'm sure you planned it out very well👏
Got any pro tips since you sound like a bit of a vet now?

That's right, I tried to eat and buy stuff on a budget for this day so for it might cost some people more tho!
Cheaper than where I live in coastal Australia.
Do you know any guide person that organizes visits to several cities in Japan? how much would such an experience cost?
awesome video
very good video

$130 a day is a lot not including hotel costs...i spend way less money a day living here in new york city

Stay longer than a week. Your jet lag will last longer than your stay.
Can u shere with us where locals eat?
ありがとうございます
IMO living cost in Japan aside rent is generally reasonable
Truly nice video but I really find Tokyo expensive to spend basic goods.
It really depends on what you spend money on!
@@NomadicWes But, buying a bottle of Evian Water and clothes in Uniqlo is cheaper in Tokyo.
Happy to know that I can have meals for less than $10.
Funny to see the difference in prices. Western europe would be around 2 to 3x more expensive including travel costs. Except for the clothing when you go to larger chains. South europe is cheaper to eat out but the rest almost the same as the west. Cool video - thanks!
Yeah if you really know where to buy stuff it wouldn't be that expensive! (Although some things are more expensive in Japan such as rent and public transportation etc.)
I wish to visit Japan or even live there 😕
A 7 day budgeted trip to Tokyo (if you budget well and plan what you want to do ahead) is relatively cheap.
A week trip in Tokyo (just Tokyo, no other city travel like Kyoto or Osaka or hironshima. Just Tokyo) will cost $3,000 (budgeted) to $5,000 (expensive) American dollars.

For a week you can travel from Osaka to Kyoto and to Nara pretty easily and costs about the same as the Tokyo trip I mentioned above. $3,000 to $5,000 for all 3 cities in 1 week. (Osaka, Kyoto, Nara)
I calculated and trips only gets expensive when,
a.) when you spend 2 weeks or more in Japan
b.) travel far distances, like from Tokyo to Osaka to Kyoto to Nara to through Osaka to Hiroshima then back to Tokyo to fly home.
If you do one spot/city at a time then the trip is cheap. :)
Hope this helps.

You're always welcome😉

Did we ( the U S ) copy Japan ? Or did they copy us ?
Japan : 100 Yen Store
In the U S : Dollar Tree
