Japan expensive? We don’t think so
It’s a big misconception that Japan is one of the more expensive countries to visit. You may be pleasantly surprised that it is no more expensive than visiting a western European country, the US, and Australia. In comparison to big cities such as London, Japan could even be considered cheap.
