Been to Japan once, November yung flight namin and talagang research to the max. I booked our ticket ng sale sa cebu pac, 2800 lang, then August pa lang, nagplan and nagplot na ako para macheck of JR Pass is necessary. We ended up not purchasing it. Kasi super mahal, like 14k for unlimited 7 days and as you know, if mag USJ ka, whole day ka na dun. I personally spent, 60k on an 8 day trip, all in. We stayed in hostels na I must say, super ganda (it's my first time), nag bus kamo from Tokyo to Osaka. Ate breakfast on convenience stores, ate lunch na almost meryenda time na sa mga restaurant and dinner sa mga street foods and conbini again. Yung 60k ko includes, RT airfare Manila Tokyo Osaka Manila, 20 kls plus 40 kls na baggage, overnight bus from Tokyo to Osaka, 20k na shopping/pasalubong, 3700 plus na pamasahe sa mga subway/tren, food, USJ, visa fee and Sim Card. Kaya mag Japan basta magplano maigi. Magresearch at magtanong pag kailangan. 😍 booled another flight for October naman this year.❤❤❤

Sobrang informative. Sana lahat nang travels mo may ganito para sa mga katulad ko na nagbabalak magtravel pero wala talagang idea kung paano magsisimula. Haha. Thanks 💕

Airbnb houses are as expensive as 3 star hotels in Japan and sometimes more expensive in Tokyo. Hotels in neighboring prefectures such as Chiba, Kanagawa and Saitama are much cheaper although they're a bit far from the center. My trip last January for 11 nights and 12 days costed me around 22k php on 3-4 stars hotels. The technique is to wait for promos in Expedia or other booking websites.

You are now my fave youtuber. You explained every detail ng sobrang clear! I’ve been watching all your vids since early morning. 😊

Good advise about planning to avoid excessive spending. “Travelling” for leisure seems to be just a “dream” for a lot of individuals who imagine costs based on their inexperience and what they see others spending.

My budget whenever i go is 50-60k for 8 days that includes flight, bullet trains, and attractions. She is very relevant and i just want to add more info. Holidays and weekend prices vary with weekdays. So have your activities on weekdays. For a beginner, i suggest seeing osaka and tokyo for 8 days para you have general idea of japan and enjoy the major attractions at 50-60k. Then on your next trip your travel becomes lesser expensive as you pick a place you want to explore further plus you can see other areas. Because accommodation is not cheap. This is especially for travelers who doesnt have so much expertise with train rides and navigations being first time travelers. There are plenty of hotels in namba and ginza that are lesser than airbnb with good amenities if there are only one or 2 of you but airbnb is great for groups/ or you stay longer than 4 days in one area. I got to see till sapporo. There is one more way to get unlimited transpo aside from the subway week pass. More trips for you Thea, keep vlogging.

I've been to Japan for five times and I usually budget JPY10,000/PhP5000 per day for food, shopping and miscellaneous expenses excluding flights and accommodation which I pay prior to the travel. Don't forget the travel insurance. For shopping and nightlife bars, I super recommend Shimokitazawa near Shibuya.

Maam dito po ako sa japan naka base, added info lang po kung talagang tipid kayo try ninyo Jetstar mas mura siya sa Cebu Pacific. And sa hotel naman try ninyo ung booking.com may apps din siya mas maraming murang rooms silang inooffer.

for disneyland po and for disneysea, sa entrance ticket niyo pwede po mag avail po ng fast pass :) (express pass like usj) wala na pong bayad yun, isschedule ka po kung what time ka po pipila ng attractions and then mabilis nadin po yung pila mga 5-15mins lang

This video is a godsend! My friends and I have been looking for someone (anyone at all) to give us a concise but detailed description and explanation of the proceedings and pragmatic estimations of costs with going to Japan. We still have a lot to plan, but it becomes all the more possible with your tips and guidelines. Watching this was definitely worth all my resources and subscription! You have all my thanks and my friends' gratitude too. :)

Will be travelling to Japan this November (In Shaa Allaah). I bumped into your vlog and found it very informative. Thank you for sharing your experiences! Looking forward to going there with your tips in mind! *God Bless!*

I came from Japan wayback 2006-2007 superb duper ganda at ang linis..I was 17 years old at that time..But now I have a daughter.I want to visit again in Japan with my daughter on her bday soon..How I wish that want to bring it her and explore the beauty and the culture of Japan..⛩️🇯🇵🎌

Napaka informative yong blog mo. I don’t mind going into details and make the video longer 😊

Ito na poooooo! Shucks from almost 1hr down to 16min ♥️♥️ Enjoy japan!! Edit: if you’re going to Tokyo, Haneda Airport is a much better option! Pero I don’t think meron sa CebPac ng route na iyon 😊

Super helpful para sa mga interested na pumunta sa japan. I have no plans yet pero I always like watching videos like this. Very informative. Thank you, Ate Thea! Hope to see more travel tips videos such as this one in the future!

Eto ung vlog na wla kna halos matatanong ksi halos lahat andun na super informative ! Thanks ms thea

Very informative!! As in!! Thanks for the effort Ms. Thea😊😊 Napapabalak tuloy ako mag travel to Japan😊...thanks a lot..

Japan is my dream country 😍 Sana bago ako tumanda mapuntahan ko ung bansang to at ma experience ang ganda ng japan. 😇

SIZ u deserve more subscribers! Very helpful ang videos mo and maayos pa ang enunciation mo ng words. Japan and Korea ang first two countries na gusto kong bisitahin and you were very helpful even sa what's on my bag/travel bag etc. No unnecessary jokes or comments, straight to the point. More power to you ate

Sobrang swerte mo if may kamag-anak ka na residing sa Japan. You don't have to think about the expenses sa accomodation etc.

Best travel tips so far.. very specific and very clear ang pag explain.pls gawa ka pa ng ganitong travel guide.thanks😘 keep it up!

This is definitely a budget for people doing tourist like things 😩 I would NEVER waste a trip to japan on an amusement park. Just sight seeing, walking, maybe one luxury purchase, eating and I’m gone.

Matagal na kong subscriber pero di ko to pinanood talaga noon kasi sabi ko di ko naman need ng tips. Pero namiss ko ung Japan this quarantine tapos recommended vid pa ni youtube. Legit talaga ung mga advise mo pati ung mga smallest detail. Add ko lang dun sa pocket wifi maganda ung Flytpack na pocket wifi, idedeliver dito sa local address mo and pwede mo balik sa airport before flight mo pabalik or pa pick up ulit dito manila paguwi mo. Ung sa food naman reco ko rin ung mga convenience store or grocery food kasi super masarap rin sya fresh sya daily ginagawa and mas mura compared sa restaurants. Tama rin na wag pagsabayin ung Tokyo and Osaka kahit na 10+ days pa kayo mag stay kasi walkaton sa Japan super layo ng mga lugar kahit bata ka pa mapapagod ka talaga 😂 last naman sa pag bili ng ticket attractions check nyo rin muna kung may local celebrations sila that day kasi bumili kami ng ticket sa USJ for Tuesday, mas mahal ticket kasi expected na mas less and tao kaso celebration pala ng holloween that day so sobrang dami rin tao. Ayun lang po skl, twice na kami nag Japan, 1st sa Tokyo with Fuji and 2nd sa Osaka and near provinces 😊

Ganito dapat magshare! Sobrang kumpleto :D hands down siszy 💕 thank you so much !

It's my dream to go to Japan, with my baby girl! Thank you for this.

As first time traveller, I wanted to understand the process or the important things you need to do when you are at the airport PH and abroad. We’ve been in Japan but during the whole airport process I was just following instruction from my cousin and was not really able to ask questions. Plus, from work I went straight to the airport. Hope to hear from you! Thank you.

Grabe wala pa man din kaming plano or nasisimulan pero sulit yung panonood ko ng vlog na ‘to. I even shared it to my friends na makakasama ko para magkaroon kame mg idea. Thank you for this Ms. Thea! We surely gonna follow yung mga tips and advises mo from this experience.

One of the most comprehensive Japan budget guides in YT. Thanks so much for this! :)

I got a roundtrip ticket to Fukuoka for 1,799PhP :) Piso fare is lyf!

Spent 48k for 9 days in 8 cities (Manila-Nagoya-Gifu-Tokyo-MtFuji-Osaka-Kyoto-Nara-Fukuoka-Manila) *roundtrip ticket is only 1,800 via CebuPacific Spent per day in Japan is estimated at 10k so for 9 days show money is 90k Highly recommended to book on hostel instead of hotel/ Airbnb

Wow I like you!!! Straight to the point, speaks simply, also engaging. Pleasant to the ears

Thea you did great. Mabilis lang mag salita. You are right sarap balik balikan ang Japan.

for shopping buy sa don quixote. :) and haneda airport is much closer to tokyo. Osaka and Kyoto places na must visit.

Very informative 💖 we'll be travelling to tokyo japan on November this year, 5 days and 4 nights ☺️ glad i watched your video. Thanks

grabe, very organized, informative and detailed. thumbs up ka talaga dito ate

This is amazing! Japan embassy should acknowledge you for this... :)

Your channel is a good find! Very helpful information! Thank you!!

Thank you so much for this very informative and helpful video. Sulit ang 20 mins spent watching this. Very helpful and straightforward. Subscribed na hehe

Very informative. I hope you'll make comprehensive videos like this one for Bangkok or Singapore travel too. Thanks. More power!

Thank you so much! Very informative. We are planning to go to Japan this autumn.

I went to Osaka, Kyoto, Yokota and Tokyo to a total of less than 50k pesos for an eight day tour including the lodging, rented pocket wifi and transportations.

Sobrang helpful ng vid na to 💓💓💓 but ang totoo, harry potter lang ang gusto kong puntahan HAHAHAHAHAHA. I don’t mind para sa ibang attractions

Ang laki pala ng magagasto kapag nag travel ka sa Japan kahit 1 week lang. One of my dreams pa naman ang makapunta dito. I'll try to save a lot of money para makapunta dito. Thank you, Ms. Thea. This is very helpful.

For wifi you can check flytpack yan ang ginamit ko nung nagjapan ako. Super bilis nya at unlimited. 5-6 tao pwede magconnect. Dito mo sya book sa manila dapat 1week before your flight book mna sya. Pwede nyo check sa website flytpack.com yan ang ginagamit ng mga celebrities pag nagout of the country sila.

I went japan last July 2018 for 7D6N, Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo. We spent a total of 40k including airfare, accommodations, food and attractions.

Answered all my questions, you're an angel 😘😘😘

3x kami nag harry potter world, same day w/o express pass kasi super fan talaga ako. We went on a Wednesday. 1st time - 8:30am (30mins queue) 2nd time - 6pm (40-50mins queue) 3rd time - 9pm (no queue)

Napakalaking tulong for us na nagbabalak mag out of the country sis... Thanks kabayan☺️

Sobrang detailed 😍 Thank you so much!❤❤ Subscribed!🇺🇸

Very Informative!!! And true it’s Realistic!!!

very informative . sana all . mahal talaga neto subscriber nya . count me on

Ang ganda ng presentation mo effective kase simple yet very informative and comprehensive. Please more on travel topics.

Hi, I encountered an ATM machine that accepts Php, but that was in OCAT in Osaka.

Napaka informative! Thanks, Thea! 💓

Visa application is very tricky. Hindi mo rin masabi. I only got 70K sa bank ( Tokyo travel for 9 days), pero I've already got a Korean visa stamped in my passport, tapos stable job ko (been employed for more than 5 years). We really need to prove the Japanese embassy na kaya mo mag-finance sa travel mo at may babalikan ka sa Pinas 😊

Thanks SA vlog. Walang non sense na topic. Straight to the point lahat. Thnxx! Xoxo

Thanks for the informative video! Booked our flights to Japan via CEBPAC and price was P2k roundtrip/person this April ❤️

I worked and lived in Japan for 15 years. This country is one of those in the world where locals are very polite. Culture and tradition is adaptable. It is true that the standard of living in Japan is not within the reach of a standard traveler. If you want to enjoy your trip at once, you have to have at lease a 100 thousand pesos in your pocket otherwise you will just regret coming over.

Ngayon ko lang to napanood pero super informative. Galing! Worth the thumbs up and subscribe :) thank you so much

Maganda talaga dito s Japan , para sa akin , 30 yrs. mahigit n ko dito , Ung nga lng kalaban ko lamig , buti n lng sa parte ng Tokyo kmi nakatira , Hindi grabeng grabe ang lamig. Maganda tong Chanel mo , maraming matutunan yung mga gustong pumunta dito ,

Love it, thanks for sharing...dream vacation destination ko tlaga Japan.

Thank you, Ms. Thea dahil request granted. :) eto ata ang pinaka informative na tipid tips for japan trip. :)

Will go po on my 25th birthday. 2 years from now. Balak namin mag korea then Japan. Thank you for this ate

Thank you for this video, you covered everything. Now I’m ready to visit Japan 🇯🇵 😊

This is so helpful. Thank you so much for making this!!!

one of my dream desti!! Thank you for the tips 🙏🏼

Sobrang on point lahat ng sinabi sa video na to. Went to osaka last month for 5 days. I only spent around 30k. Nasa 40k kasama airfare and visa. Sa transpo naman, we purchased osaka amazing pass for 2 days. Sobrang sulit. Mejo mahal when it comes to food. So nabuhay na rin kami sa convenience store na pagkain. Hehehe. All in all, I think it depends on what type of a traveler you are.

glad i watched your video!! very helpful and informative!!! im excited to go na!!

Thank you for this, napaka-detailed.

Woooot! Thank you so much for this! We're going to Japan this October and laking tulong nito super.

I wil be in Tokyo next month and this trip is super biglaan. Like I applied for lottery sa isang concert na gagawin sa Japan, and last Feb 22 lang na-release ung results. And I won! So immediately filed for Visa, Feb 27.. March 1 agad na-release and approved 😊 Although sabi mo nga, down side nito is SUPER MAHAL NG AIRFARE & HOTEL. But I had no choice, push kasi gusto ko rin naman makapunta ng Japan.

OMYGOSH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VID ATE THEA !! SOBRANG GUSTO KO PO MAGJAPAN AND NOW THAT I HAVE ENOUGH IDEA ABOUT THE WHOLE TRAVEL THING, KAYANG KAYA NA!!! ily and your vids!! Mwa 😚❤

Super bait mo nman Ms Thea, nag effort ka talaga.. Godbless🙏🏻🙏🏻

I was literally trying to understand the other language you were speaking (thinking I was hearing wrong) for a good 20 seconds before my brain kicked XD

I’m in year 8 and I’m planning to go to Japan In year 11 with two of my friends and I’m thinking of putting half of every pay check towards it, do you think I’ll have enough by year 11?

Thank you so much Thea for your quick reply. I really appreciate it. You know, your aura is good, you have a good heart, beautiful inside out.

Explained it pretty well. Much appreciative of this.

that's right! you have to plan for your travels.. i spent around 120k for only 9days!..my vacation in Japan was an impulsive decision.. i had a 2 weeks leave from work and i don't know where to go lol.. i applied for the visa 3 weeks before my leave and booked my ticket 4 days before my flight.. kaya 30k ung ticket ko sa PAL lol na question pa ako sa immigration sa Philippines kung bakit daw ilang days ago ko lang binook ung ticket ko.lol..and i also stayed at different hotels din kse sa Tokyo ☹️..pero ung 150k show money is legit kse for sure maaprove ka talaga nun.. Thanks Thea for these informations..as im planning to visit Japan again.. Osaka and Kyoto this time 😊

Mine is 25k only for my show money (5 days only) 150k is too much for a one week trip.as long as your docs are complete your ok. Government employee here

Sarap siguro dyan malamig mahilig ako sa malalamig na Lugar saka anime noon

You are so informative , thanks for sharing this :)

BEST HELPFUL VIDEO EVER ABOUT TRAVELING TO JAPAN 🙌 PLEASE PELASE DO MORE OF THESE TYPES OF VIDEOS TO OTHER COUNTRIES LIKE KOREA, SG, THAILAND, ETC OR WHEREVER YOU GO ❤

First time to watch your vid and napa subscribe ako.. Ang informative! Galing! ✔️💯💕

well detailed!! 💯

What attractions can you recommend in Osaka? USJ pa lang sure sa iti ko eh 😂

JR Pass is a life and timesaver in terms of Japan Travel especially if you will be visiting multiple prefectures, requiring shinkansen rides. It may look expensive at first but eventually it will pay for itself if you have long-distance travels. Sorry but I think this review did not do JR Pass justice. Sulit na sulit ang JR Pass namin for Osaka and Kansai Region- Hakone (side trip na naging Akihabara)-Tottori trip. May websites naman na may JR Pass calculator para maestimate mo if good deal to get the JR Pass. There are also regional pass like Kyushu Rail Pass (less expensive than JR Pass covering all applicable Japan Rail stations and train type). Sulit to for region-specific travel like Kyushu (Fukuoka/Nagasaki/Kumamoto etc.) Personally, I have built our travel itineraries on JR Station's distance to attraction since the train arrival and departure times are quite precise. Using Hyperdia, you can pretty much prepare your day-to-day travel schedule. Major JR stations would also have integration with Other modes of transport like the Subway, Buses, Taxi Bay and even City Tram (e.g. Nagasaki and Kumamoto). Travel tip - For long train travel, you can eat breakfast sa Shinkansen or sa station while waiting for your train schedule. Some trains would even have vending machine inside the train itself in addition to vending machines within the station. During my Kyushu trip I brought Pinoy Tasty and different palaman for the whole trip to eat breakfast while on the shinkansen. Tipid sa oras, tipid sa pera so sagana ang lunch and/or dinner ko lol. However, for short train distance, eating on city trains may be frowned upon so hindi advisable. Internet access - Mas economical yung wifi router rental and I don't necessarily agree na hassle magbalik kasi sa 2x na natry ko, 1 dun return sa booth before entering Departure Area (Kix) and 1 naman, may return envelope na drop off mo sa drop box before Departure area (Fukuoka) kasi ang Pinoy way advance yan pupunta sa airport so there's time. In both instances, I have booked them via Klook and reliable ang speed and battery life on both occasions. Accommodation- for solo travelers pwede backpackers kung d maselan sa kasama sa room/dormitory or sa capsule hotel. Pag family, YES advisable ang AirBnB Method of Payment - personally, credit card para sa integration ng GetGo Points from Airfare (CebPac), Accommodation (Agoda), Transportation/Attraction/Internet Connectivity (Klook) so yung points earned pwede magamit for future travel.

Thank you for this! Very informative.. parang nakikinig lng ako ng audiobook. Hahaha 😍
