Has any one been to japan lateley? Whats a normal daily budget for food and such like? -

I m visiting Japan this coming summer and I would like to have an estimated amount of how much I should bring for spending money, and what not.

I m in Japan at the moment, but I ll need you to be more specific... how long, where are you going, are you going to be staying with someone who will cook your meals or by yourself, ect. But I ve actually found most of the food is cheaper than Australia, if you stick to Supermarkets and don t eat a lot of pizza/takeaway. Most vegetables are very cheap, but meat is not. Soft drinks are fairly cheap to, and so is beer. Me, I get by on about $30 a week fine just buying lunch, snacks and the occasional dinner. You ll need more, of course, if you need to purchase every meal.

I was in Japan last month for 30 days, and if you plan wisely, you can get food cheap every day, you can hit the 100 yen sushi places, or buy lunch boxes, or any convenience store sells food, and if you have a microwave in your room, you can buy prepared food and eat at your room, and some stores, before closing they sell the prepared foods, like fried chicken or tempura foods at half price. You can easily get food in your stomach for about 15 dollars or less a day

well Japan is expensive but you can find places that are affordable .there are hostels around Tokyo that could accommodate foreign travelers at low cost at least around 2,000 yen /night or much even cheaper .(sakura-house.com) try to search this in your browser they have lots to offer and about food there are Mc.Donald s ,Wendy s or KFC who has the lowest price ,but if you prefer to eat Japanese foods try to go to family restaurant who offers Japanese cuisine ,they have sets of food worth around 7-9$ . enjoy Japan!it is not expensive to enjoy some of your money

It all depends on where about you are staying and if you plan on living on fast food. I stayed in Japan for a month this past summer and brought about $700 in spending cash. I was also buying gifts for people so don t think you need to bring this much, but i d allow myself around $300-$400 in food cash for a month if you need to pay for all of your meals. I personally had a host family for breakfast and dinner so I m not sure how much you intend to spend.

Food is expensive and will probably be more so if fuel prices keep rising and the $ keeps falling. First, I d decide that I m not going to eat a lot on the trip, because by and large their food is weird and terrible. If you can live on Ramen noodles, you ll do fine. But they get a little old after the first 7 or 8 meals of them. Allocate at least $25.00/day for food. AT least!

depends on what you spend your cash on. Last time I was in Sapporo (2 months ago) I ve spent about 50 thousand Yen (just over 500 USD dollars) on food for 2 days. Next trip is in 6 weeks and I m planning on being in Tokyo only 3 days, I will be taking at least 500 USD with me + shopping money + hotel.

thats an easy question....i lived in Japan for 3 years and the food is pretty pricey.......for a dinner at a NICE resuraunt its like 4800 Yen per person......take off two zeros....about 50 bucks (includes salad, soup, meal, desert, sometimes a glass of wine). At a fast food place in japan its about 7 bucks(they have mcdonalds and KFC). My favorite japanese resturant would be quot;hokka hokka taequot; try to find one, there food is great.....feel free to ask questions about anything in Japan...........joe_cheatham2010@mail.co...
