How much did it cost?

It is important to plan your money well. Even though you might be given a lump sum, planning your money is important so you can get the most out of it!

So here's my breakdown for the basic things that I paid for.


Definitely there is much more to pay for, such as groceries, shopping, basic necessities. But these are the rather big ticket items that you must set money aside! 

Plus, bring enough CASH to Japan! They are not into the "iWallet" apps thingy yet. So cash is the way to go! Even paying for rent!

Tips and Tricks for Tokyo/Shinjuku Traveling.

Hello my fellow juniors! こにちは！ 東京に行きたい？　 じゃ、以下をお読みください！ Try translating that^ Since Rebecca has touched on several administrative procedures and cost breakdown and etc., I will share on my journey from Singapore to Tokyo and Shinjuku (Rebecca flew to Osaka) and how I managed to enjoy Japan so much even though I was alone for an entire week! I flew to Tokyo on JAL and it cost me around $650 (includes return trip!). It's relatively cheap because I flew there on a Tuesday and prices are lowest then. My accommodation came from Homestay!
