Most people greatly overestimate what it takes to travel abroad and experience the journey of a lifetime. With these 9 cost-cutting tips to save money an awesome trip to Japan, you can save money, travel like a boss and crush it.

#1 Get A Japan Railways JR Rail Pass – JR Pass

If you are traveling in Japan all over the country, get a discounted foreigner JR Rail Pass which will allow you to use the JR Rail Company trains in Tokyo and the JR Rail Shinkansen High Speed Rail Bullet Trains throughout Japan.

Just the cost of 1 round-trip bullet trip train ticket from Tokyo to anywhere in Japan is the same cost as a 1 week JR Pass which provides unlimited travel on any Japan Railways train, plus reserved seating on rapid line trains in Tokyo.

#2 Take A Long Distance JR Bus

While the JR Rail Pass does serve all of the tourist routes and attractions, there are still secret treasures unavailable by train.

With that same Japan Rail Pass, you also have access to the entire Japan Railways bus line. A bus does take longer to get to your destination than by air or bullet train, but an overnight spacious, deluxe bus ride, can save you money by eliminating another night of expenses for a resort, hotel or hostel overnight’s stay.

#3 Walk

When most people conjure up an image of a Japanese person, they conjure up someone slim and fit. Not only do Japanese people maintain great diets, but they also get lots of exercise. People walk.

My brother-in-law who lives in the Akishima area of Tachikawa City which is part of Japan’s Tokyo Prefecture, frequently walks 45-minutes to and from the train station, although he has a bicycle and a car. That’s just normal in Japan.

Whether in Tokyo or the countryside, walking presents the opportunity to see Japan in a way that cannot be experienced by vehicle.

#4 See What’s Free

There’s a lot to do and see in Japan that is absolutely free. Whether it’s a Buddhist or Shinto temple, public market, city or national park, there are endless treasures to discover everywhere that do not cost anything.

#5 Use Free Guide Services

Tokyo, Nara and other cities offer volunteer tour guides for complimentary trip excursions. Your guide is usually a friendly native wishing to practice their English skills and make new friends. You are only accountable to admission and transportation fees for you and your guide. It’s also polite to treat your guide to lunch.

#6 Browse, Don’t Buy

Whether it be in the otaku, manga and electronics metropolis of Tokyo’s Akihabara, the Solamachi shopping extravaganza in the bottom of the Tokyo Skytree or the Tsukiji Fish Market, like a museum the size of an entire country, it’s possible to experience an enrichening cultural experience in any shopping center, just by browsing, without buying, and only bringing pictures, video and the memories of a lifetime back home.

#7 Take Advantage Of Tax-Free Shopping

For tourists, many of Japan’s biggest outlet stores, like BIC Camera, will waive Japan’s 5% sales tax for all purchases over ¥10,000 yen, which is about $94 dollars US. Also in the airport terminals, there are duty free shopping zones that offer no tax on popular food, alcohol and electronic devices, as well.

#8 Buy Cheap Gifts

The Japanese 100 Yen stores are the equivalent of dollar stores in the US, however the quality of the 100 Yen merchandise is typically much higher than the quality of dollar store merchandise in the US.

The 100 Yen stores have everything from tableware to food to clothing. In addition to the 100 Yen stores, discount chains like Don Quijote also offer other low cost alternative for gift shopping.

#9 Stay At A Hostel Or Business Hotel

Hostels, otherwise known as guest houses in Japan, are very much like a dorm room, with common bathrooms, kitchens, laundry and meeting areas.

While in Kyoto, my wife, son and I stayed at the The Tomato Kyoto Guest House for about $80 a night for a private room for the three of us in downtown Kyoto, just a 5-10 minute walk from Kyoto station. For a little bit more, business hotels offer small spaces with complimentary WiFi and a morning meal.
