If your phone has a mobile hotspot option, I'm pretty sure it's me much cheaper to get a SIM card, especially for an extended stay Just make sure to bring a decent power bank, since it'll suck your phone's battery dry

So helpful, thank you! I was confused about the 24, 48, and 72 hour subway passes because it's hard to tell which lines they cover I think it would be best to stick to Suica for the Tokyo area

Here in the midwest US, the two Japanese restaurants in my town charge $8 and 9$ for two yakitori I see signs advertising them for 100 yen that's dangerous I'm going to die from eating too much yakitori

I plan on going to Japan (Osaka to Kyoto to Tokyo) during cherry blossom season 2022 I feel a loose budget of $3000 is good if I'm going for 10 days
Comment from : Tech Monster

Cool tips, my hotels in Japan are usualy around 36 euro for a 3 star hotel Ofcourse it would make a difference what period you go, but I have been to some, most are like this price!

Book is fantastic Love it a lot
Comment from : Chris Goldsworthy

i have been 8 times from New Zealand , basics per person for us is 100pound per day for food/hotel combined I always use a rail pass they are worth there weight in gold if you want to travel out of tokyo On top of this we save our own spending money for extras like , disneyland, gifts an purchases Air fares are on a par with the UK Listen to Amy , she is spot on , kia kaha

Some great info Amy I have already booked my flights and hotel I went for a business hotel which had good reviews and was pretty much near to where I wanted to be All in all I think I have been good to get those costs out of the waybrThere are a lot of places I'd like to visit but as I am travelling on my own I know I can budget so much easier Definitely going to check out your other videos though as any hints and tips are always useful to know
Comment from : British Gypsum4

I think I took out about £1,600 worth of yen for my trip in 2019 The rail pass was great value for money but it ran out and paying for one way tickets on the nozomi shinkansen from Kyoto to Tokyo was expensive Something like nearly 14000 yen
Comment from : Alexander Brown

I was hoping to go in September do you think that will be possible to go from UK Heathrow to Tokyo or will flights be banned?
Comment from : Ali

I love your videos and find them all extremely helpful in planning my first trip to Japan I’ve seen your video on being a vegetarian and traveling to Japan, but I’m a Type 1 diabetic Is it hard to carbohydrate (carb) count? Please help me! brThanks for all your help,brDanny!
Comment from : Dan-o

what about the Shinkansen seat booking/reservations? apparently having your luggage beside you means you need to reserve the end row to place the bags behind you and not by your knees? otherwise you need to store your stuff on the racks

Comment from : evicencio31863

Hotelscom has a good details on 'free breakfast unlimited', free Wi-Fi, free Osen and more surprises you won't believe!!!
Comment from : evicencio31863

I recommend 2 apps that I used: trivago app and hotelscom Good news: Hotelscom has a "real deal": 'Get 10 days get 1 day-free!' I mean it!! It's real! Go for it!
Comment from : evicencio31863

a lot! That said, I, too, live in Rip Off Britain so the food prices seem astonishingly cheap If I can fend off the old Covid over the winter, I am seriously tempted I'm not getting any younger, and some of the countryside and mountains seems stunning I wonder if there is any motorcycle hire for gaijin lol?
Comment from : tonebonetones

Hi Amy,brI think Japan is no more expensive than the UK London is mostly more expensive than Tokyo brI live in London area just like you brI was on my trip to Japan last year, it was good to see Japan again in your videobrIf there was no covid virus in 2020, I would be heading back to Japan for a 14-day trip in a few days Unfortunately, my entire trip has been canceledbrI hope to return soonbrYour video has been very good and you are also very pretty brGreeting from Sutton Surrey
Comment from : Roland Hustyava

Yeah that book looks pretty good
Comment from : Black Tengu 天狗,

Wow what a helpful video! I remember when we went how many videos we watched, but I'm happy to see a very compact video of the various things that you may have said once in other videos I really miss the videos of both of you in Japan (as do many many others including you I'm sure), but it is so awesome that you're still making content and uplifting our days while bmost/b of us sit at home Thanks for everything!

I love your videos!

I am going to Japan i want a hotel in shibuya or shinjuku any suggestions? I am going with My mom and dad
Comment from : Anthony Chami

If you are on a budget but want a private attached bath be sure to check the hostels Some will have rooms with an attached bathroom It may also have kitchen type facilities or lounges that you will also have access to and it’s a way to meet new people on your trip
Comment from : caro

Well done, Amy! Even though you get asked the question a lot, the only good answer is "It depends" But you covered a good range of categories and price ranges I would add that if you make lunch your "splurge meal" you can eat well for about half of what a dinner would cost
Comment from : etherdog

Hi I have met a quite lot of people in America who would like to visit JapanbrMany of travel books you find at Barnes and Noble(USA) are pretty intimidating,brSo your book will be a big help

I never had problem with the cheaper pocket WiFi rental company that I used as the actual LTE provider was Softbank BTW, it was iVideo, but I heard that they use a terrible LTE provider in Europe
Comment from : Weaponized Data

I still have ¥7,800 in my suica card I miss using it in vending machines (and arcades) Vending machines in the US is boring lol
Comment from : Jason M

Great video and great tips UFO/Claw machines can be expensive if you're a klutz like me! :-D
Comment from : Charlie

I've ran pretty good on around 2100-2300€ overall on my 14 day trip to Japan (Tokyo->Hiroshima->Osaka)brbrAround: 650 for the flight, 500 for hotels, 70 for wifi, 245 for a one-week JR-PassbrI personally was fine with less than 50€ a day for food, transport and entrance fees But depending on what kind of hotels you stay and at what restaurants you eat can be a huge difference
Comment from : Astranoth

Thank you for the information! very informative
Comment from : Jesse

Great video Lots of useful information as always
Comment from : 194DAG

Thanks for another great video! I'm still hoping I'll be in Japan this time next year, fingers crossed! I'd say that with food I always end up spending a little more than that because I usually eat lunch and dinner at vegan cafes and restaurants You can get a vegan curry at Coco now and vegan ramen is around the same price as regular same with conbini breakfasts but for example a lunch set at Brown Rice Cafe is around 2,200 yen and a burger and fries at Ain Soph Ripple is around 1,800 yen I also like to drink fancy soy lattes as cute cafes which can be as much as 700 yen!

Thank you for the vid, Amy Great advice as always! 👍
Comment from : Freddie Shires

For those who live in the US and have Tmobile you don't need the pocket wifi bcuz ur able to use ur phone abroad for free

Great vid Amy, some good info for first time visitors
Comment from : Craig Maddison

Regarding the SIM, we bought it and I just setup a hotspot for me and my fiance Worked a treat :)
Comment from : Jiskel

I definitely recommend having cash on you for most of the trip, I was glad I didn't have to keep going to the atm and it sucked if you ran out of money somewhere nice and had to keep going and finding an atm like my friend had to
Comment from : {Reina}xMoonlitRose

I found that I got really lucky with my trip last year, especially with the timing 😂 it was sandwiched in between their typhoons and us coming back to the Australian bushfires 😅brBut I found that my friend and I got cheaper flights and hotel rates compared to when I was looking at them when I got back, and obviously now it's not really a good time to try and plan :cbrBut I found for me personally, I had heaps of money and I was shopping like mad xD my suitcase was so full I even had to go and post stuff back to my house The first time I've ever had to pay $100 for postage 😂😅brI found For 2 weeks and the price of my flights and splitting accommodation with my friend, it was about $7500aud for my trip because I wanted lots to spend and didn't want to stress or hold myself back from my first trip overseas I got $3000 cash in yen to spend there for 2 weeks and I think I only ran out a day before the end of my trip mainly because I did have to pay alot for the parcel I was sending back homebrI think it just depends outside of the essentials how much you want to spend
Comment from : {Reina}xMoonlitRose

Yay new video!
Comment from : Otto Metalkake

I figured around 150 dollars per day That’s after I paid my plane ticket & hotels & ryokan Plus extra money for shopping brbrCan’t wait to go 14months I hope
Comment from : Lita Wolf

Another fantastic video! My friends thought it was amazing that I did a 2 week trip to Japan for about $3,000 a person Loved staying at the capsule-type hotels, eating street food, and using the heart out of the JR Pass

Plz upload video vlog of harajuku 💯❤
Comment from : Murugavel TR

Many thanks for the upload Amy! It's great to see a ball park figure on what things would cost so it gives an idea how much things are to save up in advance! It was like when I went to Denmark in 2018, as soon as I booked my flight about 6-7 months in advance, every month I got paid leading up to the time I went, I put around £100 or so aside and converted it so it was ready before I travelled Luckily enough it was just the right amount to spend out there and didn't have to worry about converting any extra cash to spend incase I fell shortbrbrWhat I would probably do is, with the aid of the book I bought from you, to get some ideas on where to go, what to do, who to go with that wants to travel and 'Japlan' in advance!! hehe
Comment from : Ian S

Great video! Just wanted to add (although it might not be relevant for short trips) that as we tend to go to Tokyo for a few weeks at a time, we always use Airbnb instead of hotels and have had very good experiences You can cook (which saves money) and it’s cheaper than hotels for longer stays
Comment from : Francesca Brooker-Rao

You have been giving so much repetitive content the last few months, to be completely honest
Comment from : masaegu

Seeing this I feel like I've splashed out too much for hotels haha right now with what I've booked it's over 3k I still have 2 hotels left to book 😩
Comment from : Chan _me

If going through expedia or other booking website, you can look at hotels that have breakfast included in their prices This can be handy
Comment from : Conan Mills

Fantastic video that I’m going go link everyone who keeps asking me LOL!br(I would just say everything you said)

Is this video a re upload?
Comment from : Rachit Mathur

Thanks Amy! Are you back to weekly videos now or still every two weeks?
Comment from : Peter Curd

If most of the traveling money/cost is spent to reach Japan, I might be lucky, because to be born and still living here in Japan as a Japanese :P
Comment from : mPD780C1

I've had the bank freeze my account on every abroad trip i've been too, so you can say I'm pretty good at being thrifty in a crisis There's good tips in this video but none really relates to me?brFood - Don't like noodle or fish based meals, I can live on crisps if it gets that bad do they have monster much??brTravel - oddly have a good sense of direction, even in places I haven't been too Manage to find all my hostels by accident brTourist attraction - I always plan ahead before the trip, so it's unlikely I can't afford itbrGifts - Customs scare the crap outta me, so unless it's a keyring I won't be buying stuff like thatbrbrPsbrif anyone is going to ask, yes I do tell my bank before I leave the country but Halifax are a bunch of c£ts
