Tokyo, Japan Travel Living Costs
By Nick July 12, 2008
Tokyo Japan is a very expensive destination for many Western travelers. While food costs seem to be surprisingly affordable, everything else seems to be pretty expensive, like lodging, transportation, and internet access. If you’re bringing a laptop, you might be able to find some free wifi since Japan is much more mobile and tech friendly than even the US.

Internet use in Tokyo may be expensive, but you didn’t mention that usually comes with free tea, coffee, and soft drinks, and sometimes somewhere to shower!
