14 Days in TOKYO 🇯🇵 Everything We Did & What It Cost | Japan City Life

Описание: Van life was brilliant, but after two weeks sleeping in car parks, we needed the opposite. A proper bed, a shower whenever we wanted, and Tokyo - one of the most electric cities on earth. Parasite museums, earthquake simulators, sake vending machine bars, maid cafes, 20,000 fireworks over the Sumida River, and midnight ramen. This is everything we did, what it cost, and why Tokyo is absolutely mental in the best way.

Complete cost breakdown: £2,343.72 for two people (£84 per person per day).
