@ke.yingan: Traveling to Japan on a budget? Here are five tips to help you save money on your trip! 🇯🇵💴 🚇 Take Public Transportation Taxis/Ubers can be significantly more expensive in Japan than what you may be used to, so before thinking about hailing a car, consider public transportation first! Unless you have hella things to carry or it’s an emergency, I wouldn’t take a taxi/uber. 🗾 Use Google Maps This app is the most precise when it comes to public transit navigation in Japan. It tells you everything from which train to take, which platform your train will be at, which train car to board for the fastest exit, AND the cost of your journey! So if you’re prioritizing the cheapest route versus quickest, use Google Maps to find your options. 🛂 Bring Your Passport Everywhere Not only do you need your passport on you at all times by Japanese law (for ID purposes), but many stores in the country offer tax free shopping for tourists with a valid tourist visa. Basically if you spend over ¥5000-¥5500, you won’t have to pay for sales tax when shopping! As of now, tax free shopping is done in store, in which you’ll either be charge without taxes included, or given the cost of the sales tax back at a separate counter. Starting November 2026, tax free purchases will need to be verified at the airport. 🍱 Don’t Eat Out for Dinner Restaurants often up the price for their dinner sets by a lot more, so if care more about saving money than eating out for dinner, then go to any nearby supermarket for discounted bentos at night. 📲 Book Activities with Klook This is not sponsored by the way, they did not ask me to make this video, but consider using @Klook to book activities, attractions tickets, hotels, and more! But don’t forget to cross-check prices with other sites to find the best deal for you.
