Creator's Key Takeaways
I am flying to Tokyo today for $250. How is this possible? How can you fly across the entire Pacific Ocean for $250 bucks?
We spent 10 days in Japan on a budget-minded trip, starting with an insanely cheap $250 flight on an airline I've never heard of before.
It's bringing smiles to my face. The music, this view right here, you have to experience it.
This was by far, yeah, the best. I think just the best overall meal of the trip because, you know, it's about the food, but it's also about the location.
