Tokyo → Korea in 3N4D Under ¥50,000
Korea is close, cheap, and food-heavy — a great first trip. Here's the exact breakdown.
1. Book flights 1–2 months out, Tue/Wed departures
2. Myeongdong or Hongdae hotel, 8.0+ rating, ¥5,000/night
3. Food: ¥3,000/day is plenty
4. Transit: use a T-money card
5. Total
| Item | Cost |
|------|------|
| Flight RT | ¥22,000 |
| Hotel 3N | ¥16,000 |
| Food | ¥9,000 |
| Transit | ¥3,000 |
| **Total** | **¥50,000** |
Three ways to not mess this up
1. **Exchange cash at Myeongdong money changers** — much better rates than the airport
2. **Buy eSIM before departure** — instant maps & translate on arrival
3. **Don't overstuff the itinerary** — 2–3 sights + 2 meals + free time per day
