As for the travel budget and expenses, it depends on your personal needs and preferences. If you plan to travel near Tokyo, the Shinkansen is fast, but the price is not low, and the fare to Kyoto is also an expense. Shopping can be tax-free and 8% tax can be refunded, which will be more cost-effective.
If you choose to go to Laox with a group, you can apply to join WeChat members online, and you can get coupons immediately, and the first purchase can be directly deducted.
In short, traveling to Japan requires proof of assets, and the budget and expenses need to be formulated according to personal needs and preferences.
