eating trip can cost a lot, i suggest bringing 4.5k just in case. no harm bringing more

Won't be going to far away places will be staying in Tokyo only we already got the train ticket from Tokyo to Osaka settle so just need to know how much expenses I need

i did 10k yen per day for food only.
normal meal around 1k yen. cafe style around 2k-4k yen.
sushi set on tsukiji market around 4-5k yen.
7-11 sandwiches/cup noodles around 300++ yen.

it wont stop u on splurge eating like chinti 9k yen per meal.
if day 1 u spent minimal (lets say 4k yen, it will leaving u 6k yen extra, put em a total of 16k yen for day 2 spending)

serious... eating sashimi will bankrupt you...

ps: i ordered before 1BOAT of sashimi from okinawa market...
paid around ~20k yen... (price include preparation cost)

I'd set about 7k yen for a whole day's worth of food/drinks. That includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and street food/munchies/weird vending machine drinks I'll find while waiting for trains . Fyonne's sinple breakdown on the price is pretty accurate. Just wanna add onigiri would cost <300yen.
When you reach there, IMHO coco ichibanya is one of the must try. It's been almost 3 months since I came back, but every time I eat jap curry at Yoshinoya here, I almost let a tear drop from the memory And it's pretty reasonable at ~1k per meal.

Oh! with that budget, don't go for the famous crab restaurant in Osaka. Easily 10-20k yen per visit.
Or even sushi/sashimi since you will keep eating and eating and eating... then realized you blew your budget.

Transportation would cost about 1k yen per day. Add with 3 days metro pass(1.5k yen) so about 6k yen
So that leaves about... 40k+ yen to shop? It depends on what you are looking to shop, really.

Now that I think about it, I heard a lot of people complaining food so expensive in Tokyo. Honestly I find it's about the same in Osaka/Kyoto if not about ~5-10% cheaper.
What do you guys think?

sorry tag wrong person

ok found a few places that has but still selection is limited and most have 30ml (with price that i can easily get 50ml/100ml).
so no buy fragrance in jpn

so tempted to buy so many stuff in don quixote

People rarely use fragrance in japan. Even lotion and shower gel they have odorless selection.
So if you HAVE to use fragrance, just a single burst is more than sufficient

Hi again all sifu, I still blur for the above route. Please enlighten me with above picture. I have tickets as below

1. tokyo metro 72 hours pass
2. Suica Card

When I reach at the Shibuya Station, it ask me stay on board but if I was using tokyo meto day pass, how to I exit outside tokyo metro station?

Do i need to leave train at Shibuya station with tokyo metro pass n reenter with suica card?

Or can I exit at destination station by going to ticket machine to pay balance? if yes, any site that enables this instruction? I found those is using ticket to pay balance but not tokyo metro pass.

Please help!

boy, pls download Tokyo Subway Route Map
Tokyo Subway Map

ur case, since u r remaining in the train, tat mean u r traveling on the same line...
tokyo pass user no need pay

unable to clarify but heard passes arent able to exit there.
in case of those same train change provider, i used Suica in my journey. (from wat i experience, Shinjuku to Odaiba on same train, or Shinjuku to Yokohama on same train)
rather than exit n reenter with suica, i avoid hassle.

i dun think metro pass cover it, as it only covered Tokyo Metro n Toei Subway

I had tokyo subway map in soft n hardcopy and I have offline apps too.

u saying remaining same train as I boarded Tokyo Metro from beginning means if this train runs on different company track does not matter as the fares still consider paid in tokyo metro? this is the part I confuse and asking for clarification. Had u tried tokyo metro day pass for this situation? thanks

that's my exact question, coz the train runs on other company tracks. if i use suica card from beginning means it will defeat my purpose of purchasing the tokyo metro day pass.

oh, exit ay shibuya and enter with suica to sangenjaya station u mean? seems likely works this way i guess. if not need exit stay on same train i wonder how those 2 tickets works

let see who use tokyo metro day pass for this situation before. thx for sharing

7k budget for food is per person?

Yes. If you don't wanna splurge so much maybe can get away with ¥4500-ish/pax/day:

¥800 breakfast
¥1500 lunch
¥2000 dinner

But if wanna splurge then the sky's the limit. I chiak before with wife ¥25000/person dinner in Kyoto.

Havent tried using it but if you are not able to exit the station, just go to the station master. Show him your Metro pass and then most probably he will ask you to topup the rest. You can do it either with your suica or cash.

I'm not sure about Tokyo, but when we take Haruka (JR magnetic paper ticket) from KIX to Kyoto, then we change straight into local Metro to destination. When reach final destination, there is this "Fare Adjust" machine to top up for the metro price. A human CS will guide through voice in Japanese, may need prepare some small change/coins. If no such machine, then goto counter.

You need to put in the original entrance ticket to top up, in our case, the JR ticket. Not the suica/pasmo/icoca.

Save the hassle to go out and come in again during halfway train ride.

Wouldn't it be easier for you to ask the station master on duty before onboarding the train?
I'm sure that is better.
