What is the cheapest way to travel around Japan?

[titus]

Hi,

I am studying Japanese and want to travel around Japan for a couple of months visiting Kyoto, Tokyo and Osaka, and various other places. However, travelling in japan always seems to be very expensive when I google it. Where are the cheapest places to stay/eat? Cheapest flights and domestic travel?

Regards

What is the cheapest way to travel around Japan?

If you want to keep it cheap don't stay "for a couple of months", every day you stay the money spent adds up.

Food is cheap, noodle places, mom and pop small restaurants.
Cheap lodging, hostels, guest houses, park bench.
Flying domestically is not cheap. Overnight highway bus is reasonable price, but very tiring. A more expensive high speed train might take 2-3 hours to cover a route that takes a bus 8-9 hours.

Stay in Japan

Thanks for your nice information. I spent a couple of months in Japan a few years ago. So some of this may be out of date. Without doubt the absolute essential was a Japan Rail pass. Only available outside of Japan. When you get there you will realize what a bargain it is. It even allowed you to travel on certain classes of Bullet train.

hostels in japan can be a great deal. i stay in many throughout my travels.

i have to agree with the person who said bike. surprisingly i met a lot of people biking from one part of japan to another when i was travelling.

my friend even did it from tokyo to sendai all within a week.

I think, try to book tickets as earlier possible. It would be only a cheapest way to travel around Japan.
