Realistic Expectations for Your Travel Budget

Having realistic expectations for your budget when visiting Yokohama is important. While it's tempting to aim for a shoestring budget, most travelers don't find that style of travel to be enjoyable. Think about your priorities and how you've traveled in the past. Do you prefer staying in budget accommodations or enjoying more luxurious options? Do you like to explore attractions and dine out at local restaurants? These choices will influence your travel costs and itinerary.

What Defines a Budget Traveler?

Although you may consider yourself a budget traveler, unless you're ready to cut out many creature comforts, you'll likely spend much more than the $68 per day that young budget travelers often get by on.

For backpackers, this tight budget typically involves staying in hostel dorms, eating at the cheapest eateries or fast food joints, using public transportation, and sticking to free attractions.

Thankfully, Yokohama offers plenty of hostels such as bnb+ Yokohama Motomachi. You can find budget-friendly dorm accommodation here, paired with a social atmosphere, but expect limited amenities. Moreover, the city has a well-developed public transit system that allows budget travelers to avoid the high costs of taxi or rideshares. Food is a standout attraction for all visitors to Yokohama, but those on a budget might rely on street food or cook in their hostels, which could mean less exposure to the fantastic local dishes.

So, are you average?

If you're traveling for leisure as a couple or family, you'll likely opt for a mid-range hotel, dine at trendy restaurants, and visit the main museums and attractions that require entry fees. When visiting Yokohama, most people will want to check out the major attractions, museums, and iconic landmarks. Remember, most activities come at a cost. Hence, it's realistic to anticipate your daily budget will be about $155 per person, per day.

What Luxury Travel Looks Like

If a complete vacation with all amenities and a higher level of service is what you want, expect to allocate around $296 per day. To stay in nicer hotels, dine at award-winning establishments, treat yourself to extravagant excursions, and hire taxis or private drivers to navigate the city, a luxury budget will be necessary. Many high-end visitors also prefer unique experiences such as Kamakura 6hr Private Walking Tour with Government-Licensed Guide - offered by Viator.

Accommodation Budget in Yokohama

Food & Dining Tips

Dining at nicer restaurants for lunch rather than dinner can help you save money. Many restaurants in touristy areas or business hubs provide lunch specials or a 'menu of the day.' Often, these options are simply smaller and more affordable versions of their dinner menus. If you play your cards right, you could enjoy a full multi-course gourmet meal without breaking the bank. Then, you can keep it light for dinner.

When dining out with children, prioritize restaurants with a kids' menu. This can help you save a fair amount of money, as those options are typically less expensive. Some eateries might not showcase kids' meals on their menus, so it's a good idea to check with the waiter.

Numerous hotels offer breakfast as part of the room rate, but some might charge extra for it. The cost and quality can differ from one hotel to another. Being aware of this beforehand can help you determine if you need to allocate additional funds. It could be worth it for a fantastic buffet at the hotel, or you might want to opt for a nearby bakery or cafe that's more budget-friendly.

Bring a water bottle instead of buying beverages everywhere. It helps the environment, too.

If you're thinking about taking a tour, it's wise to check in advance which meals are covered. You may need to cover some of your own food costs, which could increase your overall budget.

If you're looking to experience the culinary culture in Yokohama, taking a food tour or cooking class is a terrific way to do it. After all, cuisine is one of the reasons why so many people visit. Some of the best food-related activities here include:

TAKOYAKI Cooking Class with All-you-can-drink in Tokyo, Roppongi for $58 details
