Is it Stupid to Ask about how to Arrange a Cheap Vacation in Tokyo?

Tokyo is the city that will try to wipe your pocket clean during your stay, so trying to arrange a cheaper vacation there will be a futile effort and even a stupid idea. It is considered as the most costly destination by the tourists and spending time in Tokyo city is cheaper only to a vacation in Vancouver. But if you are planning a vacation in Tokyo then by using some tips and tricks you can arrange it in a small budget.

Arranging Cheap Accommodation:

First thing to remember that price of accommodation in Tokyo fluctuate with the season, by the day of the week and just because of the supply and demand phenomenon. So try to book your self accommodation online way before you arrive in the city, search a little over the web and you may find a good deal but do it at least a month prior to your arrival. But if you are really on a very short budget then there are a few budget sleeps in the area north of Asakusa that provide tiny but cheap rooms. But they are a lot noisier and further from the train stations than the comparably costly hotels in the city.

Dinning Cheap:

The rule for finding cheaper food is a simple one, look for the food store with the longest queue in front of its door, because longer the queue the tastier and cheaper the food will be. The stand up food shops are another good idea for finding cheap food, Skuta is the most famous of the stand up food shops chain in the city and serves Noodle Spots and Sankui Udle. But if you are still interested in dinning in some high class food restaurant then wait for mid night when most of them offer bargain prices for the same exotic food dishes that will cost a lot more till the evening.

Finding Cheap Transport:

Transport is costly in Tokyo, its not like commuting in London or New York. Especially the taxi fare is unbelievably high than the fare in other major cities. Just to give you an idea the taxi fare from one subway stop to another is at least 30 US dollars unlike in UK where it would have cost you around 10 USD. Subway will be the better option for commuting around the city, but the best way to save money during your travel within the city will be by using bike or even making most of the journey on foot. Keep one thing in mind before staying out for late nights, the subway in Tokyo stops around 12 so try to return to your station before the time or else you’ll be spending a lot more of your hard earned cash on taxi fare.

But the most important trick is choosing the right season to travel to Tokyo, December and January are the worst months to travel to Japan as the prices are high because of the New Year. The week at the end of April and at the starting of the May is called the Golden Week and is also a high season so avoid travelling in these seasons.
