Japan budget tours in Japan
Japan has an undeserved reputation as one of the most expensive places to take a vacation. Sure it’s never going to be super-cheap, but traditional ryokan inns can be great value, bullet train passes give you wide access for one reasonable fixed price, and bento boxes make for a great midday snack. With abundant trails to hike free of charge, and ample street food on offer, budget tours in Japan are definitely out there.
