My wife and I need to find a way to get to Kagishima so our son can meet his grandparents. Too expensive. There has to be a way to get discounted tickets

Great article! But I still think it is perfectly possible to travel and live cheaply in a city like Tokyo. I have been doing it for 5 years! Websites like Cheapo Japan and Tokyo Cheapo will show you how! :D

there are also hostels in Tokyo and other large cities, though they tend to be out of they way. If you want to go to Tokyo for cheap, it’ll take some planning, but it’s possible!

Well, since I just came back from Japan, I have to disagree with the Tokyo/Osaka statements. Go there, unless you’re only able to afford couch surfing or hostels. I used agoda hotel search services and found *very* nice hotels there for 45 to 65 a night. No joke, I stayed in the *heart* of tokyo for 4 nights 240.00, and that was a 2 twin bed room, it was plenty big At the Ohedo hotel in Ikebukuro, that’s 2 short train stations from Tokyo station, 3 train stations from Akihabara (if you go to tokyo, you *will* go to Akihabara). . It’s not fancy, but all I do is sleep in the room. The other 18 hours I’m out and about. Many many places like this everywhere, Osaka, Nagoya, Kyoto, just use agoda and check.. no, I do *not* work for agoda or in any way associated with them. And! I booked my rooms only a day in advance, twice I made bookings same day! Also, I booked my flight from April 3rd, to April 21st, 818.00 round trip. Right now, for June, July, August, nothing less than 1000.00 So I don’t get that part of what he said either. I got to see sakuras in full bloom in many many cities. 52.00 a night in Tajimi *during* their huge pottery festival, 54 a night in Osaka. Small room, 16th floor, and even lived through the large earthquake that hit at 5:20 the morning of the 13th! Scary as hell though. Don’t bother booking a room in Takayama during April or August, that’s Japans largest festival, rooms are booked, and even if you can find one you’ll pay through the nose. Trains are full too, standing room only. Stay in Tajimi and stand on the train. =/ Nagasaki was bout 45, nice place again small, but just sleep! I don’t know how anyone can make such blanket statements like this guy has. Very cheap hotels *can* be found in any major city as long as nothing big is going on in the area…
