I see a lot of people thinking how much to spend in Japan Kyoto & Osaka, I consider myself a budget person so here is my list. Im bringing Rm5000 not including airticket & airbnb

Rm1000 on air tickets
Rm600 for 7nights airbnb each person
I put aside 20,000 yen for transport & entrance fee
(240yen per ride for bus)

Day1- Breakfast raw egg & rice 230yen then to kiyomizudera. Spend around 1000yen on greentea snacks & 300yen greentea ice cream & 400yen entrance ticket. Around 6pm go Nishiki Market, a lot of tempting FOOD but it's first day so I'm holding back & trying to find sushi but it's very rare so we went to a small 800yen Ramen. This 2 places is huge so couldn't go any more places.

Day 2- Early morning ate raw egg again 230yen because it's good & can't find in Malaysia. Went to inari shrine & it's tiring & just so-so in my opinion, I went up to lv6 because don't want to waste my money there. The good part is the food under.. There is a lot of new food to try & ate 2000 yen sushi 10piece. Is quite good maybe cause it's my first sushi. Go arashiyama & reach around 5pm,alot stuff closing but it's just a peaceful place but most of the bamboo is greyish. Drank 500yen greentea latte & 200yen foot onsen near the station.

Day 3- Slept slightly late & rush to Kyoto station to have quick 600yen standing soba tempura & rush to biwako valley for skiing. Rent clothing 7500+yen & 3800 entrance fee. Went snowboarding, it is really hard & great experience. Try Mcd.. 1 set & 1al lar carte 800+yen

Today is day 4- Wake early ate sashimi rice 600yen, went Osaka to check in. First go Sinsabashi for shopping, from 3pm to 11pm couldnt finish this place. I've been saving a lot.. Now left with 70,000 yen (I brought 120,000yen) had tea at Dounut(similar to subway sandwich) 410yen + cake & coffee 510yen.. Dinner at another sushi place but not that nice for around 1000yen. Left with too much money, probably gonna blow on electronics, watch & shoes.

Will update more if you guys interested, please let me know. Here is some pictures.

Must go for me is kiyomizudera, you have to walk through Kyoto streets selling tourist stuff & reach the temple at the end. Takes about half day. Others is actually just so-so for me but inari & bamboo is like a 'must go' by those recommended sites. It's okay but not as interesting. Maybe go kiyomizudera the last so others feels good haha. I went there first.


I personally like Kyoto more, a lot quiet.. Peaceful and chill & take bus a lot but if have money, there are a lot to spend in Osaka. Today my first day in Osaka and very tempting to spend money on entertainment already.

But actually I'm glad I brought 5k, because I have the chance to shop now since not much attraction in big cities. I didn't expect to come shopping but I have another 70,000yen to spend. I believe it's the same for Osaka.
