Money-Saving Hacks for Japan

Cheapest City to Fly Into

Tokyo and Osaka are the main gateways. Compare both — Osaka's Kansai airport is often cheaper to fly into.

Best Time to Save

Visit in shoulder seasons (May and October) for lower prices, fewer crowds and still-beautiful weather.

Rail Pass Hack

Buy your Japan Rail Pass before you arrive to unlock big savings on bullet trains between cities.

Cheap Eats Worth It

Conveyor-belt sushi, ramen shops and convenience-store meals give great value without breaking the bank.
