Ways to spend less
- Avoid peak weeks Hotels cost about 30–40% more in cherry blossom season, autumn leaves and Japanese holidays. January and June are the cheapest months.
- Stay near a station, not in the center Hotels one or two subway stops from the busiest areas are often much cheaper and just as convenient.
- Eat like a local Set lunches, ramen, conveyor-belt sushi and convenience stores keep food under ¥3,500 a day without trying.
- Check the JR Pass math The pass only pays off with long trips. Use our JR Pass calculator before you buy.
