Hey All

I just want to say one thing, while I disagree with a lot of claims that visting Japan is expensive (base on comments and feedbacks I recevied from families and friends), Japan is not a cheap country for a vacation either, I think it is just in par with a lot of other major cities in terms of its cost of living

That said, I also do not believe that Japan is going to go anywhere (unless some crazy natural disaster really sink the island) anytime soon. So my advice to the would be traveler is that, instead of rushing into the trip, why not save up for another year or a few more months so that you can enjoy the trip

I am seeing a lot of people (Including a lot of my friends) who save up a bare minimal and have to live a sub-standard life while traveling around Japan, you will not enjoy your trip this way.

Just my 2 cents
