Does anybody know how much it costs to stay in Japan for about a week?

Next month, I'm going to take a trip to Tokyo, but I haven't decided where to stay yet, and I'm on a budget. I'm wondering how much it would cost to stay a week around a place like Harajuku, Shibuya?

    5000 - 10000 are basic budget for stay at hotel per day. so it cost will around 35,000 - 70,000. food ( breakfast / lunch / dinner ) minimum 2,000 - 4,000 per day at least. entertainment 2,000 - 4,000 per day. transportation 1,000 - 2,000 per day. hotel : 70,000 food : 28,000 entertainment : 28,000 transportation : 14,000 total : 140,000.

    Try Air BnB or hostels for cheap accommodation. On top of that, 5,000¥ per day will cover food, travel, and sightseeing. Raising your budget to ¥100,00 a day will let you experience more places that have higher entry fees, eat at restaurants, travel further, and buy souvenirs. If you want to go clubbing or shopping, budget a lot more.

    It depends where you will be going, where you will be staying or what modes of transpo you will prefer. But on a budget, I think around 70000-80000 yen will do considering that you'll stay in cheap accommodation and not ride the cab.

    It's a question that feels like the answer to "how long is a piece of string" because it really can depend so greatly on things like your accommodation (capsule hotel vs. business hotel vs. international chain hotel vs. fancy ryokan), food (are you eating convenience store food, shopping at supermarkets and prepping some food yourself, or dining out for most meals), etc.

Condiments in your fridge?

Just for fun! I was thinking the other day how different the contents of my fridge are to the fridge I grew up with! Just one example, I always have soy sauce in my fridge and usually at least one other unopened bottle in the cupboard. There was never soy sauce in my fridge growing up. And the friends I grew up with don't have soy sauce in their fridges even now. But my Uni friends all have soy sauce in their fridges, because they all lived in Japan for at least a year. I was just wondering what things do you have in your fridge here that you probably wouldn't have in your fridge in your home country had you never lived here.

Moving house process

I've been in my apartment for nearly 7 years. I've got my eye on an apartment one station closer to work. But I forgot what it was like to move in here! It was all a bit traumatic... Have you got some packing tips, suggestions for how to move your household goods, and what to save for last?

Golden Week 2025 plans?

This year's Golden Week gives us Tuesday, April 29th, and then potentially a four-day weekend from May 3rd to 6th. How are you intending to spend the break? Will you travel, "staycation", or dare I ask, work through it?
