QUOTE(ISFJ @ Aug 26 2014, 03:53 PM) From my observation earlier this year I realize the rate is always better on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but I couldn't exchange the currency on those days as I have work commitments. You went alone? Cos I'm going with my hubby and the 5k is for both of us to makan As for the budget, I am very much a backpacker so I survived with only 1.5K for 6 days but I had free accommodation (as my colleague was working there at that time) and 2-3 free meals. Of course with my limited budget (and time) I couldn't afford to go on the shinkansen so I only covered Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto.  Here is my rough itinerary : Day Destination 1 Haneda Airport - Hotel in Shinjuku, Tokyo, 2 Tsukiji Fish Market, Mt Fuji, Harajuku, Meiji Shrine, Shibuya 3 Sensoji Temple, Ginza, Tokyo Station, Akihabara, 4 Nagano to see snow monkeys, Shibu onsen, back to Tokyo 5 Go to Takayama and Shirakawa-go 6 Go to Kyoto 7 Kyoto 8 Arashiyama, Kyoto 9 Kobe, Arima Onsen, Osaka 10 Osaka, Flight back home |

QUOTE(JooSeng @ Aug 26 2014, 04:19 PM) From my experience (solo traveler) Thanks! That helps me a lot in costing. actually we don't really wanna eat in restaurant all the time. Try the street food better hor. And no worries about the bro...I get it a lot her in lowyat...haha ~bfast: 200-500 yen (cup noodles is around 150yen) ~lunch / dinner: 800 - 1,500 (consider decent cuz the set got nasi, meat/chicken/fishi, soup n vege) varies on type of restaurant u go Normally i budget like RM100 per day which include makan (bfast/dinner/lunch), train, entrance fees, abit of shopping. but it can differ if skip on makan, or get those one day train pass and etc. n sorry addressing u as "bro"  |
