[[M]aiev]

7 days go tokyo disneyland, sensoji, shinjuku, shibuya, fuji 5 lake, tsukiji fish mkt. Meiji jingu shrine. Skytree, hakone more than enough liao. Dunnid rush to west japan

Shinjuku and Shibuya a bit over-rated liao... It's like getting ownself at Times square.

I was at there for at least 2-3 weeks, my cost was around 1.5k-2k(I never resort to eat instant noodles..)

The only times I have to up my budget is to do shopping/treat the host or pals at there.

This is very true!

 

[Nitrile]

personally spent abt $3K myself when i went tokyo solo for 7 days

2K for plane + hotel
10K yen per day on food.


3K per pax for a couple is good, cos cheaper accommodation so u can spend more on good food. don't waste the opportunity to eat real high end japanese food.

This year when going??

Nov for autumn trip.

Hijack a bit as well.

I didn't plan well when I went Kyuushuu. Oita includes Beppu and Yufuin? I only went Beppu and it was an amazing place. Of the places you listed, I liked Nagasaki and Fukuoka the most. The place I liked the least is Kokura (kita kyuushuu) and Kumamoto.

Ya both of them Beppu and Yufuin, going mixed gender onsen.

If you have 2 weeks, can cover most of Japan's urban cities, last time we (2 perons) spent approx $8K including hotels and travel expenses.

I'll just throw this out here.
Hakone, Mikawaya Ryokan, kaiseki meals with private outdoor onsen attached to room. About $600 or so per night, nice peaceful place.

Yes, they are around the region. IIRC, there is kansai pass for this. Himeji is also counted as well; that's if you are going for the castle...

First timer really jus enjoy the main cities.
For me, Tokyo and osaka is jus enuf.
Oso experience Shinkansen commute between the 2 cities.
Both have flights back to sg.
Each city have its own charm and places to explore.
Shld be more than fulfilling trip.

My suggestion is since it's really a virgin trip, leave those off beaten, cultural, satki unique exploration to your next trip. Disney or universal studios are worth visiting.
Prepare some moola so u can enjoy spending on their shopping areas. Dun stingy but there is no need to overspend either.

Nov for autumn trip.

This year I go in oct thou..exactly one month earlier than last November..flying ana, all the way Tokyo..

 

[anyhowsaysay]

Going as couple see see look look. Which is the best place to go ? Budget $3000 per pax 7 days .tokyo , Osaka. .. ?

Inclusive of flight? or Hotels? Depends on you.
Flight maybe 700? or so? Hotel each day if u want good one, maybe $500 per night?
Budget not so much if you want quality

7 days just stick to Tokyo should be enough rather than travelling around. Even for me, i usually spend much more time in Tokyo even when i went so so many times.
