I'm genuinely surprised to hear people say Japan is expensive. Maybe their exchange rate is poor. Maybe they are staying in western hotel chains like the Hyatt or the Marriott. Maybe they are shopping in Ginza. They are definitely not eating at Izakaya pubs, or at chain restaurants like Sushiro, Kura sushi, Hama, etc. They don't just serve sushi - most of which I don't eat - but also lots of meat, noodles, western desserts, etc. Also, they have innovative types of 'sushi' like roast beef, chicken and corn, mini hamburger sushi, etc. A large beer is around 450 yen (100 baht), a plate of food with 2 items is 120 yen (25 baht as opposed to 166 baht in Perth!) I'd love to know what people find expensive in Japan! FunFifties 1 Quote
a-447 Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Like everywhere else, you have to know where to eat. Paying US $60 for a meal is ridiculous. Food is an obsession of mine and I eat whatever I want, regardless of the price, but I've never spent that much on a meal in Tokyo. As we know, usually the best food - and cheapest- is found where the locals eat. Speaking Japanese helps. FunFifties 1 Quote
