Doesn't sound either expensive or cheap, just kind of normal on the cheaper side so standard minus kinda?ミドルマイナス ?The cat was so cute xD. Btw if you're learning Japanese as a beginner - intermediate ,can you understand Okinawan conversation s if I want to travel there sometime soon.
My usual expenses for two weeks Okinawa from Germany are about 1500€. Plain ticket, accomodation, food, izakaya, presents and daily practice included. Usually I go around by bicycle (left one folding bike in Okinawa) or by bus. If you have a teacher in Okinawa, the usual fee for all your regular dojo lessons is what Okinawans pay for one months training, around 5,000 Yen. Private classes go extra though. At some dojo you don't need to pay for lessons as an official associate member. Some dojo also offer accomodation for their foreign members for a low fee. I try to cook and eat at the place where I stay, just sometimes restaurant. Also there are a lot of good bento options at supermarkets or convenience stores. So your expenses differ a lot if you come as a karate 'tourist' or as a student and member of an Okinawan organisation and dojo.
It was a little expensive for the several times I’ve gone to Okinawa, but only because of the plane tickets from the USA and of course several souvenirs. The actual food, lodging, etc., was very reasonable. But it was sooooo incredibly worth it. I wouldn’t have traded those trips for anything. It changed my karate.
My trip was 8 days, just under $900 plus air fair. Close to the same price. Not having a rental car is the main difference, because I was part of a large group and we had hotel buses and other group transport.
I have that exact same cat on the beach but bred with a Savanah so he's twice as big.That's a fishing cat and it's from a tropical jungle so I guess he's right at home on the beach.
Good you posted this video as i always wonder about prices. I think that if you stay longer time, the price per day will drop, ex. Like staying in a hostel or going to one dojo and paying a monthly fee instead of one day in different dojos because the price per day will always be more. But still, is very affordable.
This is fantastic! I mean, this is very afforable, and I will definitely try out something like this if I am ever in Okinawa. I live near the greater Los Angeles area, and a quick weekend vacation (1 night, 2 days) to San Diego would cost me at least $180 per day, and that is without renting a car, as I prefer to walk around San Diego anyhow.
@@KarateDojowaKu Unfortunately it is indeed an expensive city because a lot of conventions happen there such as auto shows, anime conventions, video game conventions, sports events, and other entertainment events, which causes the hotel prices to be very expensive and hard / in some months impossible to book. Tourism is a big source of income for San Diego.
This is very affordable. Plus since you don't do such a trip on short notice you can plan ahead and check out different prices and so on. It shows clearly that teaching bujutsu in okinawa is not primarily focused on making cash. It's been twenty years since I went to the Ryu Kyu Islands. It is about time to visit Okinawa again. Osu
Come on, It is around the same in Europe, as long as you don't book a 4-star hotel and a C-class Mercedes! Just the food felt a little bit overpriced. 27 bucks for dinner, that's VERY VERY expensive. The average in Europe would be about half that.
Great information! For us butter stinkers, we need to know about securing a visa (cost and procedure); Japanese driver's license (do they accept International on Okinawa?); getting Yen for US dollars (best place); and then there are some cultural questions. How are Americans in general greeted in Okinawa (US servicemen causing issues), and what are the language barriers I might encounter? How much does an interpreter cost, and is it worth it? Thanks in advance, !
it's only $2 for the museum ? woah !!! here it would be $20 or more.Here that room would start at $120 a night for something very cheap looking.I think it's time to stop saying I'm going to move to Japan and just do it in 2 years.
@@rev.paull.vasquez4001 I don't think they are A la carte. You probably do whatever they do in their regular training session, and then go home crying because you learned very little -.-
@@eduardoherrera4151 true. I would hope so. I’m actually surprised the daily fee is that high. Even in places like California underworld class instructors you can find much cheaper than that. Unless of course he’s talking private lessons. Then it’s a great deal.
@@methodtraining when i went to Okinawa, they didnt charge me a fee for a lesson, but i bought a Dojo t-shirt at least to help. There regular fee was 50 dollars a month. Also i took a couple of classes in mainland Japan (Fukuoka) the monthly fee was also 50 dollars a month but they didnt charge me because I was going to leave Japan and wasn't going to attend the whole month. I feel its better to plan a longer stay, attend one Dojo and pay the monthly fee.
In Japan they drive on the left, as at the beginning of the Meiji era imported cars were from England (unfortunately). So the fast lane is on the right, and the slow on the left

It's about what I would have guessed it would cost.

@@kdefensemartialarts8097 Nice!
@@超越上帝超越无限 Some elders have a strong accent, but others don't, so I guess it all depends on who you meet!
Wait a second, you filmed everything you got there in 3 days?!
Lol yes
When are u going to Okinawa, Sensei Seth?😜
Karate Speedrun lol
To speed up production he actually brought the cat from Tokyo for that beach shot.
I can't believe you packed such an awesome series out of just three days!!
Haha thanks!
Very affordable. Daily vacation trips in the US are at least double that. The hotel will be at least $150/night when I travel.
Haha I can imagine that

By the amount of videos you posted on Okinawa I thought you were there for longer lol
Haha I know right
Travelling from Germany: For 10 to 12 days on Okinawa, all costs inclusive(flight, hotel and all costs on Okinawa): between 2500€ and 3000€
I see!

Wow i would love to work out in the okinawa beach with my sensei.
I would like to see more of the beach practice. Looks so Nice!
Yes, I know he said the weather was not perfect, but the light was great, and the surroundings beautiful.
@@guillermozepeda9967 agree!
@@eugeniawagner8583 Sorry guys...I don't have a lot of footages for that scene
@@KarateDojowaKu Next time! Remember some of us like the combination training + Nature (especialmente cuando el paisaje es tan hermoso)
I would love to be your student one day. And I also wish to spend a couple of months in Japan one day, learning how to prepare those japanese foods..
3 Days? Talk about strong time management and planning.
Thanks for this Sensei! Got some cool idea.
It seems very affordable to me, considering everything you did. Surely it would be a similar cost doing the same here in Spain.
Nice!
My trip was 8 days, just under $900 plus air fair. Close to the same price. Not having a rental car is the main difference, because I was part of a large group and we had hotel buses and other group transport.
I see!
To be fair I would travel just for tacos
Haha, for some reason, it's a huge thing there
I think that's more or less what I would expect for such a trip.
I have that exact same cat on the beach but bred with a Savanah so he's twice as big.That's a fishing cat and it's from a tropical jungle so I guess he's right at home on the beach.

Wow the this video makes me want to go to OKINAWA. The most costly part for me would be the flight

Definitely much cheaper than trips in Europe or in the USA. Still worth the travels nonetheless

Thanks for the info!
1188.8 for 8 days is a lot good of with no fly ticket but keep cheap thanks for show for us
Very, very useful!!!
What about the seminars in the Karate Kaikan? Do you have an idea, aprox. how much they cost?
Thanks!
Did you by chance visit a Uechi Ryu Dojo? I studied (brown belt) before moving a while ago - wondering how you found it vs shotakan.
Tacos for breakfast? I'm in.
Hell yeah
The pork hock soba looks great!
Sounds affordable. How much would a famous Okinawa steak dinner cost?
Did you bring your drone for that nice overhead shot of the rental car? ;)
A question: Is there also a Shotokan Karate style dojo in Okinawa or does our style only exist on mainland Japan?

I so need to go to Okinawa
Tacos was the last thing I expected to hear in a video about Okinawa
Yusuke tour guide
Haha
Thats actually cheaper than i thought
Nice!
I’d be interested in this but going to China, I’m a Kung fu Trainee
it's only $2 for the museum ? woah !!! here it would be $20 or more.Here that room would start at $120 a night for something very cheap looking.I think it's time to stop saying I'm going to move to Japan and just do it in 2 years.
I thought it was too cheap too!
Wow, I believed the myth that many teachers taught for free, turns out it's 50 bucks every lesson...
Like I mentioned, it depends on the person
$50 isn’t that expensive for ala carte lessons. Usually deals come from package deals, i.e. monthly.
@@rev.paull.vasquez4001 I don't think they are A la carte. You probably do whatever they do in their regular training session, and then go home crying because you learned very little -.-
It less expensive than living in Canada!😋
That's for sure!
Not too expensive… The $55 a day for training would add up quick Especially if you plan on staying there for any extended period
Im sure that if you are going to stay longer they price per day will drop. Most likely you'll have to pay a monthly fee.
@@eduardoherrera4151 true. I would hope so.

@@eduardoherrera4151 Thanks for sharing your experience!
Sensei is it safe their in Japan mainland and okinawa
Well mainland is huge, so I can say it's safer than Tokyo
is that a day?
Thanks for sharing! Watching a car driving on the bridge, do they drive on the right side or against the traffic? :)
In Japan they drive on the left, as at the beginning of the Meiji era imported cars were from England (unfortunately). So the fast lane is on the right, and the slow on the left
@@ascaniosobrero Just curious - why do you think that it was "unfortunate" that they imported cars from England?
@@ruiseartalcorn Because for us driving on the right it is very unpleasant to have in some countries to drive on the "wrong" side 🙃
@@ascaniosobrero OK, understood ;)
That's economic affordable.
Can you send me okinawa shorin ryu dojo of hanshi zenpo shimabukoro sensei address , please 🙏 😊❤ i will wait for your reply.
From Covid 19
Very inexpensive for Okinawa and Japan generally speaking
If only karate would benefit from funding, sponsorships and media as other sports… unfair
