i read through a person itinerary for his trip and it cost around 12k for 2 person.. I haven't plan my itinerary yet cause I just think about going Osaka next year cause I see AA have promo, do you think 3k budget is enough to cover for my accommodation and traveling expenses for 2?
*
i did semi budget trip for a week and used about 3.5k

It is possible to cut it down to 2.7k by cutting down on things

That was also inclusive of accommodation and flights la

Think the realistic budget figure for 2 would be 5-6k

3k is exclude air ticket, i saw AA promo only about RM700 from penang to osaka for 1 pax but its in Feb.
as for shopping i doubt i will buy anything in Japan cause things are expansive there, for me its more about enjoying the experience and culture..and of course i would love to take some nice scenery for me to take photo
3.5k look alright to me..does the 3.5k include ticket for the attraction or only for air ticket, accomadation and food?..you went to Osaka as well?
*
osaka + surrounding and tokyo

3.5k all inclusive. Minus shopping la. that one is supplementary budget tongue.gif

I think if i am really really determined, even 2.5k is doable but that involve cutting out a lot of paid attractions and eating out at 7-11 la

I only know excuse me and thank you. Survived in my 9-day Japan trip. laugh.gif

I picked those working youngsters and most of them know how to speak English, so it's still fine for me but most of the time I relied on Google Maps. biggrin.gif

I'll be travelling to Europe in three weeks time, I'm still going to depend on Google Maps. laugh.gif

Good luck in paris biggrin.gif

Where got so cheap bro.. I go Osaka nia for 2 pax all sifu here already say my 3k Noam ngam nia cannot buy anything

Depends

Sometime got really really cheap budget airline ticket from osaka to tokyo

Can still save back a couple thousand by taking flights + train rather than the entire JR 1 week pass

You just need to tailor fit your itinerary for your budget

I think around RM 150 like that kot.

Paris got Pass also a for the metro + bus
Else you end up paying flat 1.3 Euro to any metro station no matter 1 or 10 stops away

Worth it or not,you need to calculate
Just a heads up for your upcoming visit blush.gif

I managed to changed 62000 Yen hope it is enough for 6 days trip

62k yen purely for meals, transport, tickets, souvenirs, etc

would it be enough?

have to be very very calculative, Should be OK if you dont spend much on meals and souvenirs
