For example, Lonely Planet suggests that a business hotel can offer guests a double room for \u00a510,000 per night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for transportation, the subway will be the most cost-effective option. Visitors are able to purchase an all-day Tokyo metro pass for \u00a5800. This means that pass holders can ride the subway as much as they want for that day, rather than buying a ticket for each ride (which can quickly add up).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, meal costs will vary between most restaurants. The price to expect for a mid-range budget meal will range from \u00a51000 to \u00a53000. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>Luxury budget<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, a Japan holiday can become quite luxurious if you are willing to spend some extra money. Lonely Planet estimates that a double room in a nice hotel to cost approximately \u00a525,000 per night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regarding transport around the city, taxis are an alternative to the subway if your budget allows for it. Taxis typically cost between \u00a5400 to \u00a5700 for the first two kilometres of the journey, then an additional \u00a580 to \u00a590 for every 300 metres travelled. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When dining out for dinner, the sky&#8217;s the limit when it comes to incredible dining experiences and the average meal price can vary greatly. Just make sure you keep an eye on your bill; otherwise, those tiny but delicate (and expensive) dishes will quickly add up. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For those wishing to see Japan on a high range budget, expect more than \u00a530,000 per day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both these daily budgets do not include entrance fee into various Japanese attractions. Japan is home to countless points of interest, some free to travellers whilst others being quite expensive. It is because of this, it\u2019s hard to establish an average price for entrance fees. A list of some popular attractions across the country has been provided below. If wishing to see an attraction that is not on this list, prices can often be very easy to found online.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>Entrance fees in Japan for popular attractions:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tokyo Tower &#8211; \u00a5900<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensoji Temple &#8211; Free<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nikko T\u014dsh\u014d-g\u016b Temple \u2013 \u00a51300<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tokyo Skytree \u2013 \u00a51540<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tokyo Disneyland \u2013 \u00a54000 to \u00a57000<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Universal Studio Osaka \u2013 \u00a57900<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Golden Pavilion \u2013 \u00a5400<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kiyomizu-Dera &#8211; \u00a5300<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miyajima &#8211; \u00a5300<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fushimi Inari-Taisha \u2013 Free<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arashiyama &#8211; \u00a5550<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How to keep the costs down during your trip to Japan <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we\u2019ve answered any concerns or queries about how expensive will it be to travel in Japan, by following these tips and tricks will keep you on the right track to enjoy the trip of a lifetime. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Think carefully about when you travel <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Japan\u2019s peak seasons are dictated by the arrival of the impressive cherry blossom season. These native trees light up the city with their pastel hues and provide a memorable sight for both locals and travellers to admire. Although this experience can be a truly magical experience, your wallet might not feel the same way.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/where-take-best-photos-japan-pro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Where to Take the Best Photos of Japan: As Told by a Pro<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cherry blossom season takes place typically between March and April, occasionally early May and throughout November. It\u2019s also worth noting in late April, locals receive most of the week off due to a cluster of holidays and is known as \u2018Golden Week\u2019. Although this week is loved by the locals, tourist hotspots can get a little bit crowded. It is due to both of these factors that hotels book out quickly, prices can jump without warning and transport options might be difficult to book or might have reduced availability. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best time to travel to Japan is from mid to late May or early June. This is when accommodation becomes affordable and travellers can skip the rainy season from June \u2013 mid-July.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BgC6vTWgJ_a\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_medium=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Shop around for the best flight deals<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So you\u2019ve decided on some dates for your big trip. Now, the cost to get you there may initially seem a bit daunting, but the price can turn in your favour if you do your research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is plenty of small booking hacks like switching your browser to \u2018incognito mode\u2019 or clearing your browser cookies which can help put money back into your pocket so you can spend it on delicious sushimi instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/japan-vs-thailand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Japan Vs Thailand: Where Will You Go?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<h2><strong>3. Book your accommodation in advance <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accommodation will be the second major hurdle for you and your wallet to overcome, but rest assured, you won\u2019t have to spend the night in a dodgy hotel just to save a dollar. Once again, shop around for the best deal to suit your needs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dedicate some time to browsing through hotel booking websites which you\u2019ve come to know and love to snatch up a bargain. In some cases, it is also worth contacting a hotel directly to see if they can offer you a better price for booking direct. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For hungry travellers, keep in mind that booking hotels with an included breakfast can also save a surprising amount of money in the long run. Just remember, your ability to shop around is your greatest weapon in achieving an affordable holiday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BcDDAgNBOSS\/?taken-by=tourradar\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BcDDAgNBOSS\/?taken-by=tourradar<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Consider booking a tour<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spend money now, to save money later. Half day tours, full day tours and multi-day group tours are all an effective tool to utilise when wanting to save some cash overseas and to help stretch your budget further. Tours vary in their inclusions but will mostly cover the cost of comfortable (stress-free) transportation, a knowledgeable local guide and a few traditional meals plus the bonus of travelling with like-minded individuals across the world. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some parts of Japan may be more beneficial to travel solo, but of course, it is completely within your power to make your trip to Japan simply unforgettable. Seeing an attraction on your own can sometimes be cheaper, but you won\u2019t be able to enjoy the immersive, once-in-a-lifetime experience that a tour can offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/group-tours-vs-solo-travel-decide-travel-style\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Group Tours Vs Solo Travel: Which Travel Style is For You?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<h2><strong>5. Set a food budget <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t actively manage your budget the cost of eating out three or four times a day (plus snacks!) can eat away at a huge chunk of your budget if you\u2019re unprepared. Depending on your travel plans, many tours include a variety of meals, and other meals can be covered by booking a hotel with breakfast included. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, when it comes to exploring on your own with no included meals, it is important not to go overboard. Establish a food budget for yourself and set a daily limit on what you will spend on meals. Aim for $15 breakfasts and lunches, and $30-40 for your evening meal depending on what your personal requirements and budget look like.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/best-travel-podcasts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Best Travel Podcasts If You\u2019re Travelling to Japan<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, you can do this for less, but if you\u2019ve been saving for all eternity to splash your cash on this trip, you can easily triple or quadruple the suggested food budget above as long as it works for you! Don\u2019t forget to ask around and have a chat with some of the locals for insider tips on cheap, delicious restaurants in the area.

Make the most of cheap thrills<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thoroughly research the many attractions of Japan before you visit to uncover a few of the cheaper or free amusements to enjoy. For example, Shibuya Crossing is an unmissable experience when visiting Tokyo, and it can be enjoyed for free. Takeshita Street is an unworldly, captivating area of Tokyo to thoroughly explore. If stopping by the city of Nara, wander through one of the oldest parks in the country surrounded by hundreds of roaming deer, for free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do your research and find some fun, affordable activities to make your vacation truly unforgettable.

Research your transport options <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When fellow Japan enthusiasts hear you are travelling to the country, the first thing they will recommend is that you get a JR Rail Pass. This pass is issued to non-Japanese citizens and allows travellers access to the country\u2019s bullet train system for one fixed price over a specific period of time. If you are intending on travelling between cities, the bullet train is the way to go. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pass cannot be purchased in Japan and is only available before your feet touch the ground in Japan. You must activate the pass the day you desire to begin using it.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/scenic-train-trips-around-japan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Most Scenic Train Trips Around Japan<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for travel within the cities, the subway system is the best option.
