Time flies by for most international visitors to Japan - the unique Japanese culture is all around you and you’re just having so much fun eating, drinking, shopping and being totally entertained by the simplest of things - such as wandering down the street and checking out a local supermarket.

Meals, drinking & budgets

Don’t worry if you’re on a strict budget. There are decent meals to be had everywhere in Japan for breakfast, lunch and dinner for less than 1000 yen.

Japanese snack food like onigiri (rice balls), canned drinks and even alcohol at konbini (convenience stores) are all incredibly reasonable.

And going out to a cheap izakaya (Japanese style bar) in the evening is a top experience.
