Budget is the important factor for your traveling, especially in the land which is birthplace of Sushi, Sake and Sumo like Japan. I think everyone may doubt that how to reduce their money and use it in effective way for this trip. Don’t worry I’ve found the answer for you yet.
This guide will make you know the top 5 ways to lower your budget in Japan travel.
Eating
1. There are many local restaurants that you can order traditional food at reasonable prices.
2. Kirin beer from a vending machine costs half as much as at a bar
3. Kaiten-zushi (conveyer-belt sushi) is the one idea for cheap breakfast, lunch or dinner in Japan.This kind of restaurant will serve you the pre-made reasonable prices of delicious Sushi to you (the range of costs is 100 – 500 yen or $1.20 – $6)
Sleeping
1. capsule hotels are effective way to save money – Many hotels are allowed for men and women too.Average cost in Tokyo is about 3,000 to 5,000 yen per night. This is approximately 15 – 25 pounds or 28 – 47 US dollars.
2. Sleep in an internet café is the great way to save your money too. Even though, this way is sound crazy. But Nowadays, internet café becomes one part of Japan culture and the costs is very cheap, just only 400 yen per hour or package for long time period. Moreover you can choose many types of rooms such as normal chairs, non-smoking seat, sofa, massage chair, party room, internet seat, pair seat, zashiki (a tatami), small futon rooms.
Transport
1. You must use your energy to walk or bike as much as possible. This method will make you have lower costs for transport and you may see the beautiful view and the way of Japanese life in many places that you can’t see when you catch a train.
2. using the local trains Rail costs on local trains are cheap in Japan. The rail fares is just only about 250 yen (2 US dollars). So you shouldn’t miss to use it for saving your money.
but you should note that: the subway stops working between midnight and 1am. You should aware to loss your budget to taxi fare which is so expensive in that time.
3. Buy a Japan Railway (JR) Rail Pass
Sights
You should find the museums and cinemas that offer allowance for students, children and seniors. But sometimes,some museum such as history or science are free!.
Entertainment
Full kabuki show can consume your money about US$150. But In fact , you can find a single-show matinee for less than US$20.
I hope that this guide can help you to reduce budget for your Japan travel.
