Recommended Posts

Hey im going to japan on the 27th of may and i've found this site really good.

http://www.japan-guide.com/

My boyfriend and i are also taking around 1500 to 2000 each... i've found if you go to different travel agents and speak with them you can find some really cheap accom. Another big help is the lonely planet book and website as if has some tips on how to get around and have fun on a budget.

Hope that helps a bit. Have fun.

Im heading over in Jan 2008 for TAS im booking flights and accom now to get it out of the way.Im looking for a good Ryokan to stay at.Can anyone suggest top ones in Tokyo?

I dont want to stay too far out of the city and my budget is $150-180 a night.

Anyone else going over for TAS?????

Hi all,

I'm going to Osaka in November too with my girlfriend... our current expenses without even leaving Australia is as follows:

Tickets $1000 (for the pair - return)

Insurance $112 (for the pair from http://www.travelinsurancedirect.com.au)

Accomodation $450 (6 nights at a 3-Star hotel, booking made at http://japanhotel.net ) - cheapest hotel booking place

Other expenses that will be required:

* Travel to and from Kansai Airport $100 max for 2 people both journeys

* Subway / Bus Pass for the trip $200 or so for the pair

Budget for Shopping, Eating, Emergency...

$5k each should be enough considering we're not there for any major purchases (i.e. car parts, technology) - more for the cultural aspect of things.

If anyone stumbles upon cheapy deals / sites - post them up :)

i'm goin to osaka in june.

hopefully i can get my ass to the d1 drift on jun 9,10th in sportland sugo somehow.

hey dude.

If u havent booked your hotel already. Id reccommend staying at Hotel CHUO in osaka. THE BEST SPOT IMO..and only 25$ AUD pp/night. in a private room. Was awsome. Really clean and next to JR lines and subways..the best really and u can walk to namba.. We jus came back from 10day trip i took 1500AUD with me and including accomodation/food/spending i still have 450$AUD left...That i want to exchange with someone going to japan..So PM ME if u wanna change at the current rate...NO FEES... :P

Was wickid..You will LOVE it.!

Have fun..I wanna go back!

bb out
