wow so cheap only 2k?  notworthy.gif

i was planning on a budget of maybe 5k total (per person), that's because i really like to eat, lol

we will be staying in apartments, 6 pax, averaging RM100 / person / night in accommodations, 10 days 9 nights.  Osaka - Tokyo - Osaka.

JR pass + accommodations already close to 2k.  I'm preparing to spend RM150 per day on food alone, that means almost 1.5k on food for the entire trip.  Misc cost like taxi / bus tickets etc RM500, RM200 for Disney ticket. still got few hundred spare as standby.
*
About eat I thought very expensive before I when to Tokyo and Osaka. I prepare 1000 yen for each meal but actually used 500 - 700 yen for each meal. But some meal can go for expensive too smile.gif

Snow at Japan getting worst and worst.

Flight alot been cancel due to bad weather.
Shinkansen been cap down the speed from 300 to 200km/h.  All train delay up to 40 minute.  City local train delay up to 97 minute [[Worst than Malaysia KTM record already  LOL!!!]]  heavy snow ...can understand the reason.

Kyushu Star, Japan most luxury train also trap on snow. Rich passenger want refund.  Journey cancel.

Can have a look at sensoji temple as well. Don't expect the prices to be below RM10 per item though.

hmm, okay thanks for the info bro.

okay thanks for the info bro.

but are you referring to instant food? like those that sells in 7-11?

and I am now planning my trip to Tokyo in Feb 2015.

10days trip.

Is it better to stay at one ryokan for the whole trip or change ryokan depending on area?

Is it more convienient to stay at the same ryokan and still can travel to sight see tokyo easily?

areas like shibuya,akihabara, ueno park, temples, shrines, and etc.

any advise?

Its my first trip going without following tour.
*
Last month I go japan and it's my first trip too without join the tours..

300yen-1500yen food from the shop and not from 7-11...

I stay in same hotel for 5 days Tokyo and 4 day Osaka and i choose the hotel nearby the jr station. which is convenient to travel around tokyo/osaka. Quite a lot sightseeing can reach by train and walk few min. brows.gif

and it's quite troublesome carrying around the luggage when changing hotel doh.gif sweat.gif so better dont keep changing hotel
