Tokyo has a reputation for being an insanely expensive city - we've been working since 2012 to dispel this myth! Our website has almost a million readers every month, making it one of the most popular English language websites about Tokyo. And now we're now on YouTube!

Subscribe to our channel for all our tips, hacks and regular insights on how to get more out of Tokyo on a pittance.

Everything from the basics - transport, accommodation, food and drink, stuff to do;
And more niche topics - culture, art, sub culture; off the beaten path; plus a healthy dose of the wonderful and bizarre that one only finds in this sprawling far Eastern metropolis.

Tokyo Cheapo

Pokémon has announced its plans to open a mini-theme park called PokéPark Kanto inside the already-existing Yomiuriland Theme Park.

Yomiuriland is on the border between Tokyo and Kanagawa and is known for water rides in the summer and illuminations in the winter.

No date or year for the opening was given.

(And in case you missed it our recent video about all the current Pokémon centers in Tokyo https://youtu.be/RmltOywUdmA )
