What makes us who we are? let’s explore it.

Finally, after almost 2 years, Japan is opening its border.

Bunches of people start to consider having a trip to Japan.

Some of you maybe already booked a flight ticket to Japan, but still not booked the hotel yet.

After this pandemic, maybe the traveling references inside this country gonna be different.

So, what should you prepare?

I hope this article can be the answer to your worry.

This is the summary of my experience guiding 2 visitors to Japan after this pandemic.

First question: Where/ what is the recommended accommodation?

You can use Airbnb apps if you visit Japan with more than 2 people (e.g Family trips) or book a hotel from booking.com if you travel solo to Japan.

Let’s say that you are going to have 2 week’s trip to Japan.

Average the accommodation that you can book in a day is around 7000 yen. (well, maybe there are some cheaper accommodations, but you should consider that the covid19 is still not finished yet. considering an accommodation that supports covid prevention will be good for your own shake. I think backpacker tips are not a good idea for the current situation.

How about the food? is it better to find a hotel that provides breakfast or not?

Based on my experience, in the current situation, the hotel needs to follow covid rules. even if u try to wake up in the morning, u gonna have to wait in the queue because a lot of people also wanna eat but need to follow covid rules. So, I suggest you buy your own food in a convenience store. or if you choose to use Airbnb, cooking your own food is highly recommended.

How much does the meal cost in Japan?

You can prepare a budget for 1000 yen/meal.

How much does transportation cost in Japan?

Wow if u decide to use an UBER taxi, it’s quite pricey, but convenient, especially if you do a family trip (because it is not based on per person but based on distance). Let’s say a trip from Fukuoka international airport to Hakata, you gonna spend 1470 yen for this trip. But if you ride Subway, it will be priced at 300 yen per person.

So that is the basic cost per person that you need if you want to travel to Japan.

Hotel = 7000 yen

Meal = 3000 Yen

Transportation = 600 yen(return, if you use train)

One-day budget : total = 10600 yen

For two weeks, you need: 148,400 yen

This calculation can be applied all over Japan, and of course, u can adjust this budget template based on your own pocket.
