I used Manga cafes for the internet quite a lot too.
I took £500 worth of yen over with me and I can safely say that if I didn't take the shinkansen to Tokyo and if I didn't take a taxi to the airport (I woke up late and missed the train) I could have easily survived on £500 and had money left over.
One thing I noticed is that you say you have a mobile phone in your luggage.
Is this a rental phone or Japanese phone that you have bought in the past?
I ask because your mobile phone won't work over there.
If you need a mobile you may need to rent one.
As I said I don't know how much this extra stuff you want to do will cost you, but maybe you can get an idea by knowing that I had more than enough money for 2 and a half weeks in Nagoya with £500 worth of yen.
I'm sure somebody will come in with a better answer soon though lol  |
Thank you very much for the immediate response
It's interesting to know you managed to survive on £500 during your stay. I've been pressuring myself to get at least £1000 spending money and didn't realise it would be possible to survive on less. The ferry from Kagoshima to Yakushima should cost around 14.000 yen total, so i'm mostly concerned about the prices of other ferries we may need to take. The planes are just way too expensive. Regarding the phone - yeah unfortunately it's a Vodafone contract, I doubted it would work in Japan lol. Apparently renting one is a bit pricey, although I think we'll be alright without one.
How much was the taxi to the airport?
Once again, many thanks
