Top Tips For Nagoya, Like A Cheaper Tokyo! You Can Afford This Trip :D
If you’re worried about how expensive Japan can be, fear not there are places where your money goes further - Nagoya is one of them! Even though it’s one of japans biggest cities it is often overlooked. However I’d highly recommend it as a cheaper alternate to Tokyo! It has the same vibes, great shopping and the food and culture you’d expect from the capital.
⭐️ Flights / airport - The nearest airport is Nagoya Chubu Centrair and it’s popular with low cost airlines. If you’re willing to travel with just carry on there are many options for you. However the airport is far from the city, the train is the cheapest option if you buy in person ( they only accept cash)
⭐️ Hotels - I’ve stayed here twice and both times I chose local chains for their lower price. The Vessel inn in Nishiki is one of the best value hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Low price, simple but comfortable room and an amazing breakfast!
⭐️ Food - This is where Nagoya really stands out, I found food options here were more accessible. Japanese chains like coco ichiban, dotour coffee, Komeda Coffee and Mos burger over big meals for good prices. And the street food areas around Osu & Sakae have every type of food imaginable starting from around $1.
⭐️ Shopping - the shopping here is amazing, along with all your big brands there are so many markets and pedestrian streets with the lowest average prices I’ve seen so far in Japan.
⭐️ Attractions - I did most of the main tourist spots and was surprised by how reasonable the prices were on average, especially with some offering deals such as reduced entry or combo deals for multiple sites.
⭐️ transport - Metro all the way! The subway here is really enforcing, really easy to use and cheap. I took the metro everywhere and was impressed by how well it connects to the best tourist areas.
Overall an amazing city, and some of my most affordable trips to Japan! I’d highly recommend it to someone wanting to do a cheaper Japan adventure.
