🚨 NO Rewards Redemption Alert!! 🚨
Just completed an amazing 11 days trip to Japan for 3 pax (1 Child) within INR 2.5 lacs! (Breakup covered later) πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅βœˆοΈ. Here's how we (@niharrikas) did it:
πŸ” Thorough research and optimization of train routes
🏨 Accommodations with good connectivity from airports and subway/metro stations
🎫 Making the best use of day passes for Excursions, city transportation and JR Rail Pass
Cities Covered: Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Kawaguchiko (Mt Fuji), and Tokyo. 🌸🏯
Visa made easy: Visa costs β‚Ή550 with a TAT of 4 working days. You can apply directly at Consulate General of Japan in Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai, or Bangalore. No need for any travel agent βœ…πŸ›‚
Smart Credit Card usage πŸ’³:

- SBI CB for Airbnb 🏑
- Vistara Infinite for priority check-in.
- Axis Magnus for M&A

Forex Usage made easy! πŸ’±
Used Indusind Exclusive Debit Card and Niyo Card (DCB Bank) with 0% forex. Cards are widely accepted across Japan. Cash used for subway tickets and street food. Used 7/11 ATM for cash withdrawal with 0 Fee and better currency conversion than India! πŸ’Έ
Food in Japan isn't expensive as some believe! 🍣🍜
There are many reasonable options, but it's crucial to research restaurants during the planning stage. 24/7 stores like 7/11, Lawsons, and Family Mart were our saviors - they're everywhere!
Internal Travel was a breeze! πŸš†
Used Trains to/from airports, JR Rail Pass for unlimited travel throughout Japan (exclude JR pass if limited cities planned), used Metro/buses within cities. Average walking: 13,000 steps/day! πŸ‘Ÿ
Excursions don't break the bank! 🎟️
Multiple day-passes available including transportation, optimizing costs and making your experience affordable. 🏞️
Expenses:
Flight Tickets (Singapore Airlines): INR 100K for 3 pax
Hotel/Airbnb: INR 60K
JR Rail Pass: INR 40K
City Transportation: INR 10K
Excursions and Food: INR 40K
