Planning a trip to Japan? Before you go, make sure you’re not wasting your hard-earned money. In this video, I’ll break down 20 common money mistakes tourists make—whether you’re heading to Tokyo, Osaka, or Kyoto. From surprise bar cover charges, overpriced Shinkansen tickets, and unnecessary Suica IC card fees, to all-you-can-eat “deals” that aren’t worth it, hotel booking slip-ups, and paying too much for pocket Wi-Fi or SIM/eSIM plans—these are the most common ways travelers overspend in Japan. And it doesn’t start after you arrive: there are hidden costs even before you land, like JR Pass misunderstandings, choosing the wrong area to stay, and skipping smart budget planning for Japan’s biggest cities.
