💰 How far does your money go?
A decent bowl of ramen in Tokyo runs 800 to 1,200 yen, around €5-7, less than a menú del día back in Madrid. A beer from a konbini costs about €2, and a full izakaya round with several small plates rarely tops €15 a head. Eating well in Tokyo doesn't need a luxury budget.
☀️ The Weather
November in Tokyo brings dry, mild days with highs around 18°C and the autumn foliage at its peak. December drops the average down to around 12°C, with clear skies and very little rain. It's one of the best times of year to walk the city without sweating through your shirt or freezing.
