$2,000 okay that's my bad I got maybe
1,000 or 2,000 euros so the jrl pass
seems pretty good seems like a good deal
hey guys it's got the cat and today
we're gonna go out and hit the
fashionable streets of Harajuku to find
out how much is your Japan trip yes
that's what we're gonna do yeah sorry
hey guys it's got a cat and today we are
gonna hit the fashionable streets of
Harajuku to find out how much is a trip
to Japan for people who are obviously
not from Japan we're going to compare a
couple of regions and areas and it might
be good for your future travel to Japan
to find out what everyone is about
spending on their trip so let's go and
ask foreigners in Japan
[Music]
okay guys where you from California for
us California and I'm from the
Philippines personally how much of each
and every one of you spend so far how
much do you think you're gonna be
spending in total I think it will take
about 200,000 yen for two weeks yeah
that's like $20,000
[Music]
that's my bad it's a lot of money so
$2,000 $2,000 for two weeks same but
like since I'm the one who are handling
the money I can spend like slowly at a
time the best way I figured to travel is
start like at least at least three
months early so it doesn't feel like as
soon as you get to to Japan all your
money's gone so slowly like first the
apartment and after we finish with the
apartment we start booking reservations
for you're like yeah junior pants and
like the kawaii monster cafe and we're
going tonight like like that yeah yeah
that's my plan
you kind of planned slowly on what
you're gonna spend the money on each one
of us spend like two thousand yeah
including shopping Train Hotel included
already okay we're good together guys
where you from I am from Mexico Mexico
Austrian Yeah right how long are you in
Japan for two days yeah I'm 10 days how
do you know each other then we started
here like we studied Japanese for two
months like two years ago so we wanted
to come back and we just staying
together now and you know being me
so what are you doing is it like just
holiday or you studying right now - no
just just traveling around so 20 days
and 10 days I heard what we're asking
everyone right now is their journey this
time how much about how much are you
spending this time in total on your trip
so in Tokyo or like the whole time in
Japan it's like maybe
thousand or 2,000 euros so more than
that like two hundred thousand yen so it
like that's only like living and like
buying and eating and stuff it's gonna
get more expensive after yeah like maybe
for shopping or something is another 100
well we're siblings so we have like a
budget else about $2,700 like in total
just like shopping and food and
everything and we'll the planes were
thousand dollars each so do you have
like any hints for people who want to
come to Japan to save a little bit on
the cash when they come like booked
early or research well a certain thing
definitely Airbnb is like the best
option because hotels are expensive
unless you have like a capsule hotel or
how many food is really good too early
because like I saved a lot of money
especially from Europe you if you like
book early it will only be it would be
so much less like 400 euros less or
something like both slides so really
book like a year before that's like when
I can't for you before and then it will
just be cheaper a year before it was
quite a long time I see any ideas all
the other are the hoods for people who
want to come to like suggest like do
your research or do this when you come
to Japan any recommends for travelers
who are interested in coming to Japan
yeah definitely do your research like to
see where to say because saving you save
all our money where you stay stay closer
to you know all around like Shibuya and
then from there you have like like a
very good location to take to go from
anywhere like it's definitely cheaper to
like stay somewhere not like in Shibuya
or something but it's way better because
expensive the daily expensive of like
going to the city and everything it's
just so much that like staying here
right away it's just better guys wait
from where Denmark Denmark and how long
are you here for
well actually I'm I'm visiting my friend
here I'm staying here for one week in
Tokyo
I have been here for around seven months
now are you doing I was working as a ski
instructor in the north part of Japan in
Hokkaido
Mystikal say yeah for the winter so four
and a half months and now I have been
living in Tokyo for two and a half
months what are you doing in Tokyo
actually I'm just exploring the city
learning about the culture yeah I'm the
people and I've been working a little
bit as a babysitter and that's pretty
much it
you're looking right now yeah you're
here for a week yeah I'm here for a week
but I've been travelling Southeast Asia
for four months now so this is my end of
my journey and he invited me to Japan
and so it was a good opportunity to
visit this amazing country now for your
journey here how much was your journey
in Japan oh how much do you think you'll
spend in total in Japan for your 10 days
Oh for my 10 days maybe I have about
10,000 but then this currency Danish
currency so much will be around 200,000
yeah oh okay you're having you're making
the most of your time and most of my
time it's my end of my journey so I have
to have a good time you know like the
money life to kind of splash out now
exactly exactly yeah so you're living in
Japan how much is the like price of
living in Japan for you then when I was
living in Hokkaido
I was hanging around 50,000 yen a month
and here in charka have actually been
living for free because my godfather he
got an apartment over here and here
yes invited me to stay with him and his
family for as long as I want to stay so
it's a good opportunity to stay here
where are you from I'm from Brazil but
I've been here since I was three years
old right so you're already here for a
long time yes and then your trip in
Japan this time how much do you think
you're paying in toto two weeks from
France yes two weeks in Japan they're
all in all flight and staying
how much do you think you're paying in
total maybe six six hundred euros
yeah that's without the flight or is it
with the flight I was out of line
because the flight was around five six
hundred so it's almost one thousand and
two hundred euros one thousand two
hundred years including hotel food
including the food and the author and
how much for like your apartment do you
pay rent living in Japan and ornaments I
live in a company apartment so
subsidized jealous I'm just like having
to pay my rent it's hard yeah how
they're lucky to move somebody's too
expensive alright now if you have a
company apartment stay in there the rent
so I wait you from we're from Canada
what brings you to Japan we're visiting
for touristy things and we also have a
chemistry conference to go to
in Kyoto so it's work and holiday yes
know what I'd like to ask you we need
before you came to Japan how did you do
the planning was that hard how did you
any tips for people who wanted to come
to the creme plan more we didn't do a
lot of um but it's it's worked out okay
people are very very friendly so that's
been a huge help figuring things out
currently they helped you doing like
we're looking at a map and then somebody
offers to help us find our way and yeah
train tickets they're just the minute
you look confused somebody will come
over and help you which is really nice
any other advice you can have before
initially when it comes to Japan the
Junior Rail Pass seems pretty good seems
like a good deal stuff online but it
seems worthwhile now how much did you
actually pay for all your whole journey
in Japan now we're here for 12 days so
just under two weeks total amount maybe
like
a Canadian so between like 1500 2000 is
that everything I'm against again that
word those were only wishing thank you
so much
so how much do people on average pay you
could see there is a quite a bigger
variety also how much you are willing to
spend and how much you actually have if
you book early and you have a bit of a
look around maybe go for an air B&B
instead of a hotel and similar things
like that some people recommend that
actually saying it will get a little bit
cheaper the problem is that Airbnb for
example are sometimes in people's
residences and Japanese people have
complained that foreigners are too loud
so I'm not sure how long the Airbnb
thing is actually gonna be around here
in Japan I personally never tried it so
I can't really speak from my experience
so that's one thing also Japanese is a
big thing if you want to travel around
Japan you can only get those rail pots
outside of Japan so if you come here
it's already too late you need to
actually book that in advance so lots of
prepping and planning in advance makes
your journey in the end a lot cheaper I
