I am planning a trip to Japan and I am trying to figure out how to manage my budget more effectively.
Right now my total budget is around $4500, including flights. However, flights are currently costing about $2000, which leaves me with roughly $2500 for spending in Japan.
I am planning a 10 day trip, but I do not want to use up my entire remaining budget while I am there. I am looking for ways to reduce daily costs and stretch my money further without cutting the trip too short.
What I am hoping to understand:
Affordable accommodation options in Japan
Budget-friendly food choices
Cost-effective transport strategies (rail passes, IC cards, etc.)
General money-saving tips for daily travel and activities
Any mistakes travelers commonly make that increase costs
For context, I am in medical school and this will likely be my last summer break for a while, so I want to make the most of the experience without overspending.
Any advice or strategies would be really appreciated.
