🚄 Japan Transportation Costs 2025 – Bullet Train, Metro & How to Earn Points on All of It
Wondering how to get around Japan and what it actually costs?
During our 10-day trip to Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, we used a mix of the Shinkansen (bullet train), the Suica app for local transit, and taxis to navigate the country with ease. In this guide, I break down the exact cost of transportation in Japan, how to use tools like Google Maps to simplify your routes, and how we spent just $872 getting around multiple cities.
I also share how I booked Shinkansen tickets through Klook, when it makes sense to use taxis, and how to earn points on Japan transportation using the right credit cards and shopping portals.
If you’re planning a trip to Japan, this is everything you need to confidently navigate trains, buses, and taxis—while maximizing points along the way. -
