✈️ The Ultimate 7-day Japan Itinerary 🇯🇵 | Full Travel Budget Breakdown

Welcome to our video on how to spend 7
awesome days in Japan. We’re going to give you a breakdown
of all our costs, what we spent on what and take you day by day
to the places that we visited so you can get the best of your seven days
from visiting Japan. We’re just normal people like you. We’re not Robotic AI Voices or people trying to sell you
something every five minutes. So thank you for coming on this journey
with us as we head into Narita Airport, which is one of the main
airports in Japan. And it’s probably worth mentioning that
this was the first time visiting Japan. So you’ll get to see everything we did
in these 7 Day’s, exactly as we experienced it. Our flight arrived at 20:30pm in the evening, and after collecting our bags,
the first thing to do was to navigate our way to the hotel
using the Japanese rail system. And I’ll give you a quick overview
of where we’re going to be going and some of the places
that will be visited now. So for the first three nights, we’ll
be based in Tokyo in the Asakusa area, where we’ll explore some of the most
famous and popular places to go, including temples, parks, zoos, aquariums, as well as Tokyo’s famous Shibuya Crossing and one of the tallest towers in Tokyo,
the Skytree. I’ll show you what
the karaoke bars are like here in Japan and take you to the Royal Imperial Palace,
as well as show you a little surprise that we had
when reaching Tokyo’s National Museum. Then we’ll take you a couple of hours
outside of Tokyo to the famous Mount Fuji, as well as show you what
the views are like by boat and cable car, as well as going for a fun day
at the largest theme park in Japan. Fuji Q Highland. Then from here, we’ll take you to Hackney
and travel to the sulfur volcanic valley by ropeway cable car before heading to Shiba to show you the unique monorail system
that they have here. And as always, we’ll show you some of the
awesome food that we ate along the way too. So let’s get started on this video
as we make our way to the Hotel Keihan, which is where
we’ll be staying for three nights. And then we got some sleep
before heading out on day one. On this journey through Japan
and the first place that we’ll visit was just a short
ten minute walk from the hotel. And it is the iconic Sensoji
temple, and it’s imposing. Kaminarimon Gate Sensoji Temples, the oldest
temple in Tokyo, and it’s also called the Asakusa Canon because it houses
the cannon and the cannons The Boddhisatva of Compassion. And it’s one of the most popular
and frequently depicted deities in Japanese Buddhism. This temple is one of the most popular
tourist destinations in Tokyo, and it draws in excess
of 30 million worshipers every year, and although tourists flock to this place,
many unaware of its significance, With its history of over 1400 years. Walking through the Kaminarimon Gate which houses
the cannon, you’ll walk through Nakamise shopping street
and you’ll have to excuse my pronunciation of these Japanese words,
but I’ll try my best. And this leads you straight on
to the main temple. And this street’s one of the oldest
shopping streets in Japan. It’s filled with all kinds of shops
where you can buy traditional Japanese souvenirs, like a samurai sword
or trinkets of the temple itself. Or if you’re in need
of a pair of new chopsticks, then this place has you covered. You’ll also find some of Japan’s
best traditional street food on display,
as this master craftsman will show you. And just in front of the main temple,
you’ll see a giant incense burner called Jokoro,
and it’s believed to have healing effects. You’ll notice that the people around the incense burner
tend to cover their heads with a smoke, as it’s believed that by healing
your head, you’ll become smarter. And I’m still waiting
to see if this is true. There’s a lot of other small shrines and temples
that you can see around this place. We’ve done and seen everything we can see
here, and we’re going to make our way to the next place in our itinerary
for the day, which is Ueno Zoo. But before we do, apparently it’s
tradition and good luck to touch the lantern. On the way
out of the temple and grab a coffee. Although the coffee was just to give us
a boost and plan our navigation of the zoo,
which was just a few stops away on the subway, there is passes and rail cards
that you can buy when travel in Japan, but for us it worked out cheaper
just to buy individual tickets for each journey
and when you get off the highway and or station,
the zoo is about a 15 minute walk. From here. You just walk through this park
and then down some steps, and on the way down
we spotted some food stalls. So we had a look and bought
some of the traditional snacks to eat. And I’ll take you on a little walk around
Ueno Zoo now. This is the oldest zoo in Japan. It opened in 1882 and it’s 14.3
hectares in size, which is the equivalent of around
35 football pitches. And there’s loads to see and do here. It really is an impressive zoo. It’s very open with just about
every animal in here you could think of. In fact, it houses 3000
animals of about 300 species and the area is divided into two
parts there’s the East and the West Gardens. And we’ll show you some of the animals
you can see if your coming here. They have tigers and gorillas,
Penguins, giraffes. Although there was a wait,
if you wanted to see the giant pandas, which is one of the popular animals
to see when you are coming here. Although We visited here on a weekend,
so like most tourist places, they’re always busy on weekends.
So it might be worth coming through the week
if you don’t want to wait too long. There were some good walks around the different areas, and one animal
that’s not available in a lot of zoos that we’ve been there is a polar bear,
but they had one here at this zoo and there was no shortage of places to eat with restaurants and food stalls
in different areas of the zoo. And you can spend as long as you want
here. We stayed for a few hours walking around,
and then we walked back through the park where we happened
to come across a kind of festival that was going on, which had live music and lots of food and drink stalls. And then we headed back to get the train
to go to Shibuya area of Tokyo. And this part of Tokyo is famous
for the Shibuya Scramble crossing, and we’ll head there now and walk
across it during its busiest times. It’s estimated 1000 to 2500 people
make their way across this intersection every two minutes, and that’s enough
to quickly fill up a football stadium. We spent about an hour here
and had a look around some of the shops
before getting the train back to Asakusa. Time was ticking on and we’ve got so much
to show you in this video. And we were getting hungry and we saw this place
which looked like a good place to eat, and we chose right,
because the ramen with a Kobe beef just melted in your mouth,
and the dumplings were really good too. We’re at the end
of day one, and I’ll give you a total cost on the screen
for our first day here in Japan. And as you can see,
the total came at £1,084.30 pence. And I’ll also convert that into US
dollars and Japanese yen. We flew from Thailand, so transportation costs
may be higher or lower compared to ours. And I’ll carry this on for each day throughout this video and give you a total
cost of our seven days here. At the end. We’re starting out on day two now, and we’ve got some exciting places
to take you today as we make our way to the first of them,
which is the Tokyo Skytree. We got here by taking the train,
which was a short seven minute ride away. And when you come out at the station,
you can’t miss it. It’s just another five minute
walk to get to the tower. You go up a series of escalators
and it’s clearly signposted everywhere. You can pre-book your tickets online
or get them when you go. And once you get your tickets,
you queue up for the elevator, which will rocket you up to the tempo
deck, which is at a height of 350m. We’ll walk
around now, and as you’d expect, there’s some amazing panoramic views
looking out onto Tokyo. As well as places
you can get your photo taken. Then you have the option, depending
on what ticket you buy to go up to the next level,
which is at 450m. And this is called the Galleria. And this is equally as impressive. It’s got lots of artwork
and as you walk around, you’ll see all this Japanese anime
and the nice pictures. There’s also a glass floor you can walk
across before heading back down, and we’ll take you to the next place,
which is within the complex itself. It’s just a short walk away
called Sumida Aquarium. It opened in 2012 at the same time as the Skytree,
and we’ll show you inside of the aquarium. Now, after
purchasing our tickets from inside. This is a really good aquarium. It’s got lots of sea life
as you’d expect, including lots of varieties of jellyfish. And they have sharks here, as well as a really impressive open
plan area for viewing penguins. You can get good views of them
from both the upper and lower decks, where you can see them
swimming around in the tank and they have a penguin
talk at different times of the day. And I’ll show you
some of the other sea creatures that they have here now. And like most tourist places, there’s usually a gift shop when exiting,
and this place was no different. And me being the good boyfriend, I bought Fang a cuddly penguin
as a reminder of our visit. Then from here, we make our way by train to another part of Tokyo,
which is known for its and entrainment. And this place is called
the Shinjuku Area. It’s got a lot of bars and restaurants,
and we’ll take you to this ramen restaurant now,
where you can order your food from this little touchscreen computer
that sends your order to the kitchen, and you don’t wait
long for your food in these places. And another little fact,
when eating at a Japanese restaurant is that they’ll always give you a glass
or a jug of water, which is free. Fang got some noodles with vegetables,
and I might as well tell you what I ordered myself. Chicken Teriyaki with rice, some kind of
boiled egg, Miso Soup Coca Cola, and that’s how we ordered it. Then we went for a walk and visited
this amusement arcades, which look quite popular for the locals. And although I didn’t understand
the aim of the games, it was good to have a look around. And then we took a walk through this
thriving area of Tokyo with its bright
neon lights to take into the nightlife. We walked around for about an hour
and it’s a great place to come for a night out.
You won’t get bored. There’s something around every corner
it had plenty of things to see and do. And whilst we were here in this area,
we visited the Omoide Yokocho, which is a maze of narrow
alleyways, and it’s popular for its unique atmosphere and retro drinking and dining. And from here
we took the train back to Asakusa. And as we head back, I’ll give you the breakdown of our
costs for day two here in Japan. Heading out now. On day three, we take the train once again
from nearby Asakusa Station to Nihombashi station. Then take the Blue Line to Otomachi
station, which is where you’ll exit to the first place on today’s itinerary,
which is the Royal Imperial Palace. And this place is free to visit. You’ve just got to book in advance
to ensure a place, and once your place has been confirmed, you just queue up and wait
to get your passes. You’ll then get to enter
the Royal Imperial Palace, and you’ll go into this building where you’ll get a talk
from one of the Japanese tour guides and they’ll split you into groups
depending on what language you speak. So obviously we went in the English
speaking group and then the take you
for a look around this place. It’s a place definitely worth a visit. It’s rich in culture and history and is the residence of the Japanese
Imperial family. The tours take about 75 minutes
and there held daily at 10:00am in the morning and 15:30pm and the afternoon, except on
Mondays, Sundays and national holidays. Our tour guide was this Japanese lady who spoke really good English,
and she took us around the tour. She was very knowledgeable
about the history of this place. That bridge was originally made
of wood. After seeing all the different buildings
and walking through the picturesque open grounds at the palace,
we made our way back to Otemachi station to take the first of two trains,
the first to Nihombashi station. And then we took the Ginza line, which is the orange colored
line, to Ueno Station. We were starting to get to grips
with the subway system, which in all honesty, after
the first day of arrival isn’t too bad. You just need to take five minutes to plan
where you want to go and with technology nowadays,
it tells you everything you need to know. And then we walked back through
Ueno Park, the place that we went on day
one to the zoo. As we were walking through Ueno
Park to the Tokyo National Museum, there was an awesome saxophone
sound that we heard in the distance. And showing our appreciation,
the man playing showed his appreciation to us In a way
I think only Japanese people can, By giving us this origami of a swan. Arigato Gozaimasu Thank you very much. It’s a little swan And I said I had a little surprise for you
at the start of this video when we got to Tokyo Museum,
and it was a surprise to us as well because it was closed. And as we passed through the park, there were kids playing Japan’s
national sport, baseball. Times starting to tick on again. Although I could have made this video
three hours long, with everything that we’ve seen
and done here. But we’ll take the train back
a couple of stops back to Asakusa for a bite to eat
at this place called Yakiniku Ike, which was a shop where people sat
in their own individual booths and ordered
from the little touch screen monitor. And once your order was sent,
it prompted you to light your grill. And as I mentioned before
about Japanese restaurants providing you were free water, this place had
your own little tap which you could fill your glass up, as well as a drawer
which had chopsticks and napkins in. And once your order was ready,
It’d let you know via the computer and for you to take a card
to collect it from the pick up point. Then you take your food and put it
into the allocated slot in your booth, and you can start cooking your meat
or whatever you ordered. They also provide different sauces
that we tried for dipping your food into,
which were really nice. Then you pay for your meal by cash
or card at the machine near the exit. And there was one thing
we were looking forward to trying on our last night here in Tokyo,
and we’ll take you there now. And it’s very popular here in Japan,
and that’s to do a bit of karaoke. The Japanese
love a good sing song, as do we too. Although for copyright purposes
of YouTube. You’ve been saved from a singing voice,
and it was money. Well spent. It was a good laugh. And I think if I come here
every day, I’d get pretty good at it. And as always, we’ve got full versions
of everything we do on our channel. This is just our third day here
and it does get better the more into this trip
we go with a few surprises coming up. So this
is a breakdown for the cost of Day 3 here in Japan. Chicken, egg with teriyaki sauce Strawberry, custard and whipped cream sandwich Welcome to the start of Day 4 and today
we’re traveling outside of Tokyo to spend the next
two nights around Mount Fuji. And once we checked out the hotel,
we made our way to Asakusa station, where we got our train tickets
to go, a Shinjuku bus station. But first we needed to take two trains
to get there. The first using
the orange Ginza line to Kanda Station and then taking the Chuo line,
which is the red line to Shinjuku. And I didn’t see any lifts
at the station, hence carrying the bags of all the stairs. Right now we need to find the
bus station. We were getting the 09.25am bus from the B6 pick up point, and we booked our tickets
in advance to ensure a seat. Although you could probably
come on the same day as your traveling for your tickets as there was plenty
of empty seats on the bus, and it was a pleasant bus ride which took just over
two hours and we drove on the highway, although we got to see some nice scenery
along the way. Or at least I did. and the bus made a few stops as well
until reaching our stop, which was conveniently outside of the hotel that we’d be staying in
called the Fuji Q Highland. Our check in wasn’t until 15:00pm, so we just dropped our bags off at the hotel and went to do
some exploring around the area. There was a free shuttle bus
that took us to Kawaguchiko, where we purchased tickets
for the sightseeing bus to take us around the lake
and the different stops where you get to see
Mount Fuji in all its glory. The Kawaguchiko sightseeing bus
was this red one that runs regularly every 15 minutes,
and once you’ve got your pass, you can hop on and off at any
stop that you want. We’d not eaten since breakfast,
so decided to hop off at this stop, which had a restaurant for some lunch. We came to Japan in February and the average temperatures
here are around six degrees, and we ordered some food
from this restaurant. Once again
using the touch screen computer, I got the miso soup with rice and a pork
dish, and Fang also got the miso soup
with tempura prawns and sushi. And after paying. Arigato Gozaimasu, thank you very much. We headed out and bought some tickets for a boat trip around Lake Kawaguchiko. This sightseeing boat trip lasts
about 20 to 30 minutes, and we made our way to the upper
deck on the boat to get the best views of the area. And of course, what we can’t see,
which was Mount Fuji. And after taking lots of photos
and enjoying the fresh air, we headed back to port
onto our next stop, which was to take the cable car
to the top of the mountain. There was a long queue that we waited for in about three quarters of an hour,
but it was worth it. The cable car only takes a few minutes
to get to the top, but I’ll show you it in about 10s. And once you’re up here,
there’s some excellent views and places where you can view the area,
along with different viewing points where you can see
Mount Fuji and overlook the towns nearby. There’s also a trail you can do if you
come up here, which takes you to Mt Mitsutoge. If you like hiking,
that’ll take you around six hours. We didn’t have time for that. We just came here for the views
and after seeing what we came to see, we headed back down
using the cable car once again. And as you come out from the cable car, there’s a bus stop
conveniently across the road where we took the sightseeing bus to the last
stop on the tour called Oishi Park. It’s just a few minutes
walk from the bus stop, and as you walk down at the lake,
you’ll pass this mini Fuji monument that was made from stones
of other Mount Fuji’s. There’s a lot of other mountains
named Fuji, which exists in 252 places of the 47 prefectures in Japan. And the purpose of this
was to see all Fuji’s together, with the real Mount Fuji. And there was some great views
and photo opportunities from here, looking out over Lake Kawaguchiko
to Mount Fuji. Taking the bus back,
we passed this convenience store known as Mount Fuji Lawson,
which became popular a few years ago on social media after a photo, taken in a particular angle,
showed Mount Fuji in the background. We got the free shuttle bus
back to the hotel before we checked in our room, which we’ve been upgraded
because today was the 14th of February. Happy Valentine’s Day And then after celebrating with cake,
I went to the Onsen at the hotel, which I can’t show you
because it was full of naked men. However, I can give you
a bit of information about it. It’s very popular here in Japan
with the main purpose of not only to wash one’s body, but also a rest and relax
by soaking in the Onsen. And afterwards
we went for a traditional Japanese meal at one of the Japanese restaurants
in the hotel. And the food here was fantastic. We had, I think it was 4 or 5 courses,
some of which you cooked yourself on a hot stone,
followed by coffee and ice cream. And as usual, I’ll give you the cost
of what we spent now on Day 4. We woke up on Day 5 to this amazing view of Mount
Fuji, and I was very excited for today. Not only because the breakfast was awesome
with freshly cooked omelets and more amazing views of Mount Fuji,
whilst eating. The main reason for the excitement
was because the hotel that we’re staying at
back onto the largest theme park in Japan,
and we got tickets to spend the day here. There’s a designated entrance and exit
from the back of the hotel to the theme park, and you can buy tickets
online or from reception or at the ticket booths
that are outside the park on the day. And this Theme park’s got the same name
as the Hotel, Fuji Q Highland, and upon entering, it looked fairly quiet,
probably because we come through the week, which was great for us as it meant there’d
be less queues to get on all the rides. And I’ll run you through some of the ride’s
that they have here, and maybe some of the other things
that might be of interest to you if you come in with kids, although, If you want a more in-depth
look at this place, we have specific videos dedicated to this
theme park, as well as longer versions of the other places
that we visited on our channel. But I don’t want to waste your time
focusing specifically on this place, so I’ll give you the key information,
because there’s still a lot to show you for the rest of our seven
days here in Japan. As you can see,
they have water rides, rides that spin you upside down and around. And this roller coaster called Takabisha
with a fall angle of 121 degrees
that’s registered as a world record. Moving around the park’s easy
and clearly signposted everywhere. As you’d expect,
you can follow the different colored lines to the different zones, like this blue
line, which you’ll take it a Thomas Land. This is a popular place for kids to visit
when coming here, and I used to love Thomas the Tank Engine
and all his friends as a kid, and I kind of relive my youth
a little bit here when I was walking around remembering
all the different engine characters. There’s many other attractions here, like impossible games. There’s a sky cycle
which will keep you fit, and there’s even an ice rink,
which was good fun. And I was in my element here
because I love going on all the rides, and
there was a big selection to choose from, as well as a massive selection of food
that you can choose from as well. And if you order your food, you did so
by using these ticket machines. I’ve never been to a country
where practically everything is operated through machines,
and to order is fairly simple. It will give you a token
of what you’ve ordered, and then you just take it at the counter
and wait for your food. And like I said, this is just an overview
to give you an idea of alternative things you can do
when visiting in Japan. I know, not everyone likes theme parks
and as you’ll know, like all theme parks, there’s a gift shop
and this place is no different. The park’s opening times vary depending on what
time of year you come, and in February it was open from 10.00am in the morning
until 17.00pm in the evening, and we’ll make our way back from the theme
park to the hotel, which was just a short walk
away, and again, clearly signposted. We had a meal booked at one
of the many restaurants in the hotel, although this time we opted for an Italian meal of Pizza,
Spaghetti Carbonara and Bolognese, and I’ll put on the screen
the total cost for the five for you now. We’re into Day 6 on this epic journey through Japan,
and we’ve got a busy day traveling today to Hakone, which is located
about four hours from here. We started by taking the expressway
bus, which is advisable a book in advance. Although we were lucky enough that there was still a couple of seats
available and paid on the day. Then we headed to Mishima Station,
passing through the scenic views of Japan, where we got our last
glimpse of Mount Fuji. Then from Mishima Station, we were advised to purchase these tickets,
which was for another two trains. The first two, Atami station, where we had to change lines
to take another train on the same Tokaido
Line to Odawara a station, which is this station where we came
across a place that sold a Hakone pass. We never planned this,
and it was a touch of luck really. We were going to get the Hakone pass
in Hakone, but this pass included unlimited travel from Odawara station
to Hakone, and to get to Hakone From Odawara you’ll take the train
to Hakone Yumoto Station. And then from here, this is where
the journey starts getting fun, because you’ll get to take Japan’s oldest
mountain railway, the Hakone Tozan Railway And this is an absolute treat. It’s a small train
that makes its way through the narrow, dense woods and valleys
and over many bridges and through the tunnels,
and it stops at small stations along the way and changes directions
with three switchbacks. It takes around 35 minutes in total
to get to Gora Station, which is just a few minutes walk from the hotel
that we’ll be staying in tonight. This hotel’s called the Emblem Flow Hotel,
and like most hotels, you can’t normally check in until 15.00pm, but you can leave your bags,
which is what we did. And then we went to grab some food and utilize the Hakone Pass
that we just bought. This local restaurant
served traditional dishes. We got the tempura soba as well as the pork with ginger and rice,
which was delicious. And this give us chance to have a look at where we could go
this afternoon from here. And we thought it’d be good
to take the Tozan Cable Car. So we headed back to Gora Station,
where we took this to Sounzan station. The cable car stops at four stations
before getting to Sounzan station. It covers a distance of 1.2km
in approximately ten minutes. But don’t worry, I won’t waste ten minutes
of your time showing you this journey. I’ll speed it up
and we’ll do this in around 30s. The cable car rises 211m between the stations,
and it’s virtually in a straight line, and you can get off at any of them
and do some exploring. However, we’re going to Owakudani
and normally to get there. You can take the Hakone Ropeway but because of windy conditions
that was closed today. So we took the bus,
which is also included in the pass. The Owakudani
area will surely take your breath away. As we approach, we could see the steam
pouring up from around the mountains, and there’s a very distinct order
that’ll remind you that, you’re nearing an active
volcanic valley. It was over 3000 years ago
that a volcanic eruption turned Owakudani into a volcanic valley
with active sulfur vents and hot springs. And this area is one of the most popular
tourist attractions in Hakone, and is also famous for the black egg
that you can purchase and eat here. These eggs that you can buy are cooked in natural spring water for 60 minutes,
a temperature of 80 degrees, and then there steamed at 100 degrees
for 15 minutes in steel baskets. The water that there boiled in contains
sulfur and iron. They do smell like sulfur. In fact, eating them is believed
to add a few years on to your lifespan, on average 5 to 7 years, so we thought it’d
be rude not to give it a try. Taste’s like normal egg And if you want to know more about the history of this place,
there’s a museum here. If that’s your cup of tea. And due to more favorable weather
conditions, the ropeway was reopened, which was good news for us
because we got to take it back, passing across the valley where you can get
to see the impressive views of the sulfur
rising up through the mountain. And it’s probably worth mentioning that
the ropeway can close at any time because of either the weather
or an increased level of noxious gases, So if you are coming here,
you can check whether the ropeways open or not
by using the Hakone Ropeway website. And then once we got back to Sounzan
station, we took the Tozan Cable Car back to Gora station, to go check
into our hotel that we were staying at, and once again, I’ll break the cost down
for you now on what we spent on what for Day 6 here in Japan. Although we’re into Day 7, We’ve still got half a day to go tomorrow
as we head out after this unusual breakfast at the hotel, which
I still don’t really know what it was. And we’re going to take you
on a sightseeing cruise on Lake Ashi. But firstly, we needed to go back to the
Owakudani area where we went yesterday
and ate the black egg and luckily the ropeway was open. So we headed back across the sulfur
valley, taking in the views and a few pictures
for some of the tourists. And today the sulfur was
a lot more prevalent than yesterday. And from here we got the bus
that was going to take us to where the boat
is, which is in Togendia, and there the bus took around 30 minutes
from Owakudani to Togendia, and once you get here, you just have to
queue up to get your tickets for the boat or use your Hakone Pass,
which includes this trip, and then make your way onto the boat
for your cruise around Lake Ashi. As you can see, it’s more
like a pirate ship than a cruise boat, and you can make your way
to the observation deck at the top of the ship
for even better views. Looking out onto Lake Ashi and its surrounding areas,
and you’ll notice some points of interest, like the red torii archway of hakone jinja shrine And there’s an interactive map on different screens on the boat
that will give you your exact location. And once you reach Hotoriya, you can get off the boat
and do some exploring of the area. But as time was against us a little bit today, We headed back on the same boat
and went for something to eat at the restaurant inside Togendia. We ate this meal
and enjoyed the views of the ships before taking the bus back to Owakudani and the ropeway back to Sounzan Station, and then the cable
car back to Gora station. Once we picked our bags up from the hotel,
we were on our travels once again using the Hakone Tozan Train,
which I’d highly recommend traveling on. Just because it was good
fun, as you’d expect with it being Japan, it ran very efficiently
and once we got back to Hakone Yamoto Station, we had around another three hour journey ahead of us as we take
the first of three trains to Chiba, which is where we’ll be staying
for our final night here in Japan. We chose to come here as it’s convenient
to get from Chiba to Narita Airport for our flight back
to Bangkok tomorrow. But before that, I’d like to show you
a few more things from here in Japan. After we check in
and drop our bags off at the Daiwa Roynet Hotel, which was about a ten minute
walk from Chiba Station, the room was comfortable. It had a good sized bed, a massage chair
that had my name on it later, and a decent sized TV. The bathroom was clean, as you’d expect
from a hotel of this standard, and had one of these electric toilets
that are popular here in Japan. Then we wasted
no time and went for a look around Chiba, which on first impression
seemed like a lively area with lots of karaoke bars and restaurants
and for me, I couldn’t come here without checking out some of the electronic shops
that Japan’s famous for. So we headed into this one,
which must have had the largest collection of power banks
that I think I’ve seen in one shop. And it’s customary
when we travel that we always find a local convenience store,
and in this case, it was a 7-Eleven to grab
a few treats for back at the hotel. And I’ll give you the total cost
now for Day 7 here in Japan. That was our seven days in Japan. But before we take our flight
back to Bangkok, I’d like to show you one more thing, which was something
I mentioned at the start of this video. And that’s the urban monorail system. That’s here in Chiba. So for the half day that we have left,
I’ll take you for a ride on it now, the total length of these two lines that split at Chiba Station is 15.2km, which makes it
the longest urban monorail in the world. This monorail suspends
you above the city, and it’s an impressive sight with all the different colored
monorails at the have, and it’s a handy way to escape
the daily traffic jams as well. You can buy an all day pass
at any station on the monorail lines, and use it between ten in the morning
and six in the evening. This way you can take, you know, a lot. Chiba city has to offer. Although as I was limited to time,
we just bought a return ticket to a nearby station just so I could show you what it was like
for the purpose of this video. I’d seen it somewhere before, and I always
thought it’d be great to try some there. And that has fortunately come. And here we are.
And there’s a means of transport. It’s an attraction in itself. As you sail over the streets below. And as always,
we have all the bloopers from our trips, and there’s lots of them
from this Japan trip on our channel, along with more of the personal content
that wasn’t suitable for this video. And that’s available to all our members. And as we make our way to Narita Airport,
I’ll give you the total cost for this trip. As you can see, the total cost in Great
British pounds was £2,744.30 If dollars is your currency, it cost is $3,672.40, which converts to ¥528,429. And I’d just like to thank everybody
for watching our seven days here in Japan. If you’ve got any questions,
please feel free to ask. And the journeys keep on coming. You can watch all of the places
that we travel here on YouTube At Phill and Fang around the world,
