REVIEWS OF HOTEL EXECUTIVE CLUB LOUNGES, KIDS CLUBS AND MORE.
Whether you are a seasoned traveller or like to take trips and vacations every once in a while, travelling can be expensive. The flights, hotels, accommodation, food, and sightseeing all need proper planning and budgeting.
However, thanks to the many travel apps that come in handy in many different ways to help travellers navigate their destinations easily. Today, we take a look at some of the best discount apps you can use on your next trip to Tokyo, Japan.
Starting off with LINE, this is one of the most popular apps in Japan. It works like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. People use it to chat with friends, make phone calls, and share pictures.
But LINE is not just for chatting. Many businesses in Japan, such as shops, restaurants, cafes, and even tourist places, use LINE to communicate with their customers. When you follow a shop or restaurant on LINE, they often send you special deals, discount coupons, or news about sales.
These offers are only for people who follow them, so it is like joining a VIP club for free. For example, you might get a message from a restaurant in Tokyo that says, “Free drink with your meal today," or a store offering a discount for any item you purchase. All you will have to do is open the message and show it when you pay.
This is a very easy way to save money while shopping or eating out in Tokyo. Some places also send small gifts, like free desserts or a bonus item, when you visit them. Because LINE is so common in Japan, you will find many businesses using it to give rewards to loyal customers.
Rakuten Rebates is a points app from Rakuten, an all-around e-commerce company in Japan. You can earn points, called Rakuten Points, when you shop, eat out, or book things through Rakuten's partner stores and websites. Later, you can use these points like money to pay for things at convenience stores, restaurants, shops, or even online.
It helps you save money every time you spend. It doesn’t matter if you are buying snacks at a shop, shopping online, or eating at a restaurant. If the place is part of the Rakuten system, you earn points. These points add up fast, especially in Tokyo, if you are spending a lot while exploring.
Klook is a popular travel app that helps you book fun things to do, like tours, activities, tickets, and transport, at discounted prices. The best thing about this app is that it is available in many parts of the world, making it a great tool for travellers visiting different countries and cities, not just Tokyo.
You can use it to book entry to many places, such as Disneyland, teamLab Borderless, or the Shinkansen (bullet train) and more, all at lower prices than buying tickets in person. Their special deals often include offers like “Buy 1 Get 1 Free,” limited-time discounts, and money off if you use a coupon code.
Tokyo is full of amazing things to see, do, and eat, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot. With the right apps in your pocket, you can grab great deals, save money, and enjoy more of what this exciting city has to offer.
From discounts on food to cheaper tickets on Klook, or earning points with Rakuten, there is an app for every kind of traveller. Just a few taps on your phone can lead to free drinks, cheaper meals, and fun adventures without breaking the bank.
