Japan is a dream destination for many travellers, yet all too often people delay or put off their trips entirely because of one looming fear: the cost.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s the image of Japan <\/strong>as a futuristic tech hub, the Lost in Translation<\/em>-esque city view bars where the cocktail prices are enough to warrant another ATM visit, or the idea of those $100 department store melons that seem to make the rounds of the Internet every so often.<\/p>\n

The first time I visited Japan, I came with the same stereotypical expectations. I thought Japan was going to burn a hole through my pocket, and in some ways it did, simply because, as a tourist new to the country, I didn\u2019t know the local alternatives.<\/p>\n

\"Bamboo

The Sagano Bamboo Forest in Arashiyama, 15 minutes from Kyoto by train, is one of Japan\u2019s most photographed sights.<\/p><\/div>\n

After 8 years based here, I can say that Japan rivals many developed nations with its budget friendliness, and today I\u2019m on a mission to show you just how affordable it can be with some of my favorite travel hacks for sightseeing and dining. So let’s travel Japan<\/a> on a budget.<\/p>\n

Take advantage of free attractions and events<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It may come as a surprise, but a lot of major attractions in Japan are actually free. With the notable exception of Kyoto, most temples and shrines around the country are free of charge. As are most natural sightseeing spots \u2013 like the deer park in Nara, the bamboo forest near Kyoto, cherry blossom viewing areas<\/a><\/strong>, and even Mt. Fuji.<\/p>\n

\"Mt

Visit Mt. Fuji and the surrounding Five Lakes area for some of the most iconic scenery in the country.<\/p><\/div>\n

Traditional festivals are free too and are a fascinating window into Japanese culture. Summer is peak festival season<\/a>, but you can find them all year round.<\/p>\n

Sightseeing combo tickets & special offers for foreign tourists<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Japan has an insane<\/em> number of sightseeing tickets that include discounted transportation, and even entry tickets, meals or other services as a combo deal. There are some that run year round, while others change depending on the season or during special events.<\/p>\n

A great place to start your search is by checking the \u2018free passes\u2019 available. They aren\u2019t actually free but they usually refer to unlimited travel within certain areas. One of the most popular is the Hakone Free Pass, which allows you to explore the this popular hot spring area near Mt. Fuji with unlimited use of Odakyu-affiliated buses, trains, boats (it looks like a pirate ship, by the way!), cable cars and ropeways, and also includes discounts on various attractions.<\/p>\n

\"Hakone

Explore Hakone on its variety of transportation offerings for an all-inclusive price.<\/p><\/div>\n

To find out about the multitude of deals on offer, head into one of the tourist information offices or ticket centers at or near train stations. Many of the best discounts are foreign tourist specific, so remember to bring your passport with you to prove you are visiting Japan as a tourist.<\/p>\n

Skip paid towers and go to free observation decks instead<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The thing about popular towers is that they can be expensive, you often spend ages in line and then the view is so weather dependent.<\/p>\n

Instead of Tokyo Skytree or Tokyo Tower, head to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building for a free city view instead \u2013 go to the south tower for the best panoramic view. In Kyoto, consider the station\u2019s free Sky Garden, rather than the paid Kyoto Tower across the road. Bonus: you can capture these towers in your photos!<\/p>\n

\"Tokyo

Looking out at the view from Tokyo\u2019s Metropolitan Government Building in Shinjuku.<\/p><\/div>\n

Visit attractions on free admission days or at a discount<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Many museums will have a free admission day, either once a month or for special holidays or events. It\u2019s worthwhile checking the websites of the places you want to visit and planning your sightseeing around free days or discounted times.<\/p>\n

Insider tip: If you’re short on time but are looking for an authentic cultural experience, check out Urban Adventures for a local-led day tour. They have itineraries in Tokyo<\/a><\/strong>, Kyoto <\/a><\/strong>and Osaka<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

High quality Japanese food at a good price<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When I\u2019m hungry and want to eat good quality Japanese food, I love to go to Ootoya<\/em>. It serves delicious teishoku<\/em> style food \u2013 a traditional Japanese set meal with rice, miso soup and pickles \u2013 and is a must-try on any trip to Japan. One of my favorite dishes is the black vinegar chicken and vegetables. You can expect to pay around $8-10 for a meal here in a comfortable, restaurant-style setting.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re really hungry or just a big eater, request your rice oomori<\/em> for a larger than average serving of rice at no extra cost. Ootoya is a chain that you can find all over the country.<\/p>\n

\"Ootoya

One of my other Ootoya picks, this one for a meal on the lighter side: the charcoal grilled basil chicken and vegetables.<\/p><\/div>\n

Take advantage of lunchtime specials<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lunchtime is king for good-value meal deals. Japanese restaurants are renowned for having multiple menus. Be sure to sift through them all and locate the one with the daily lunch specials \u2013 usually called higawari ranchi.<\/em> You can often find a set meal that also includes a drink and maybe even a small dessert for $5-7.<\/p>\n

Grab a ticket for a cheap meal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For a cheap meal on-the-go, you can try a vending machine restaurant.<\/p>\n

Simply buy a ticket at the machine and then present it to the staff in exchange for your meal. Popular dishes at such restaurants include udon and soba noodles, and Japanese curry. You can find them everywhere and can easily get a meal for $3-4.<\/p>\n

\"Vending

Waiting for my meal at a station vending machine restaurant.<\/p><\/div>\n

Here’s an example of a typical set meal you can find at vending machine restaurants. It is a cold soba (great for the hot summer season!) with tempura prawns.<\/p>\n

\"VendingDid someone say free beer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yep, you can even try alcohol for free by taking advantage of the various free tours offered by Japanese breweries and distilleries. One example is the Suntory tour in Tokyo where you can get a free tour of the beer factory (in Japanese) that concludes with a tasting of three of their beers.<\/p>\n

A free shuttle bus is even provided from the south side of Bubaigawara train station, near the horse-mounted samurai statue.<\/p>\n

Conveyor\u00a0belt sushi restaurants<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For a sushi fix that won\u2019t break the bank, head to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, where you can get a plate for around $1.<\/p>\n

Plates usually include two pieces of sushi and allow you to try all kinds of sushi varieties that you may not have the chance to experience back home. I never spend more than $10, including a drink and miso soup, and always leave extremely satisfied.<\/p>\n

\"ConveyerPart of the fun of visiting chain conveyor belt sushi restaurants is ordering your food via electronic screen. Just before your order reaches you, it will start playing a tune so you know it\u2019s yours for the taking!<\/p>\n

ANOTHER INCREDIBLE JAPANESE CULINARY EXPERIENCE: CONVENIENCE STORE FOOD<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Eat street food<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Grabbing a bite at street food stalls is not only fairly friendly on the wallet, but it allows you to literally taste Japan through its variety of snack foods. Osaka is one of the best places for street food in the country. (Check out this definitive guide to Osaka’s food scene.)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

You absolutely cannot leave without trying takoyaki<\/em>, balls of batter filled with octopus, and okonomiyaki<\/em>, a savory Japanese-style pancake. Expect to pay around $5 for a light meal.<\/p>\n

The experience is made all the more interesting with the gaudy, singing and moving sign displays along and around the Dotonbori shopping strip.<\/p>\n

\"Takoyaki

Takoyaki on the hotplate \u2013 one of my all-time favorite Japanese snacks!<\/p><\/div>\n

Go to \u201cfamily\u201d restaurants & get the drink bar<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Famiri resu<\/em> are not just for families. They are often bustling at lunch and dinnertime with students, workers and couples because they provide some of the best value meals around. My favorite one is Italian style Saizeriya<\/em>, where you can get pizza and pasta for less than 4 bucks a pop.<\/p>\n

For less than $2, you can add the drink bar<\/em>, which you\u2019ll find at similar restaurants all over the country. This allows you unlimited soft drinks, juices, teas and coffees, including machine brews like lattes and cappuccinos.<\/p>\n

Saizeriya also have the cheapest restaurant alcohol I\u2019ve found anywhere \u2013 a glass of the house white or red is less than a dollar and 500ml decanters are around $3.60. Share a bottle of some of their \u2018nicer\u2019 wines with friends for just $10.<\/p>\n
