Going to Japan: How Much to Budget per Day, Malaysian Style!
Just finished my 9-day solo trip to Japan, Malaysian style! It was a balance of independence, being savvy with my spending (tak kedekut sangat, but not extravagant either lah! 😅).
My Daily Budget in Japan (MYR Conversion)
On average, I spent about 7,000 – 9,000 yen per day. That's roughly RM220-RM300 sehari, already including:
- 3 meals (light breakfast, lunch and dinner from eateries or supermarkets)
- Train fares (using an IC Card and single tickets, no JR Pass)
- Entrance fees to budget-friendly attractions (1-2 places per day)
- And a few small snacks and souvenirs 🍡🎁
My Tips for Saving Money While Still Enjoying Japan
Here are a few petua I used to save money while still having a blast:
- Supermarket dinners: huge discounts after 7pm!
- Staying in comfortable hostels or clean capsule hotels.
- Using an IC card instead of buying a full JR Pass (since it was a short trip).
- Prioritizing free or cheap attractions.
