This article was interesting but it didnt really prove to me that tokyo is any less expensive than New York. Further, I didnt really learn anything much about what is actually cheap in Tokyo.

Great list Tim. Most of the places noted are great for night life, but for those looking to get a little more traditional feel, it is best to get to the outskirts of Tokyo.

Also, it is very easy to eat for cheap in Tokyo even at the best restaurants. The key is to visit during lunch. You can get great set meals during lunch from around 650-1,000yen. Similar meals will shoot to around 1,500-5,000 during the evening.

Among dining options, I also love the donburi shops — and got so addicted to gyudon I had to learn how to make it when i got home.

The little stand-up noodle shops are great, too — but I don’t think I actually ate anything I didn’t enjoy. Every little shop seemed to hold some delight. And snacks were great, as well, from little fried donuts to curry-filled bread (pan).

As for day trips out of Tokyo, I’d also like to recommend Enoshima Island. It’s a wonderfully mountainous little island that gracefully combines an air of antiquity with the bustle of tourism — though almost all the tourists are Japanese.

But again, thanks for the tips and the stuff I didn’t know. I’m looking forward to trying out the new stuff.
