I guess I completely missed the boat on JPY losing a lot of value (I haven't traveled to Japan besides transit since 2016). Time to plan a Japan holiday I guess!
Yeah, I was just in TYO for a week and really enjoyed the cheap transit and cheap cocktails. Meals were generally comparably priced to here. Getting a great deal on hotels required a bit more work but, as usual, the Japanese chains had some decent rates for where I wanted to stay.
Now, if only airfares were a bit lower, it would be great. And No, I ain't flying Zipair!
