Below is a summary of our trip itinerary. It is by no means a perfect example and it should be noted that some decisions depended on our circumstances at the time, not only budget considerations. The WWOOFing took us to some out of the way places that would not necessarily be on a typical traveller’s itinerary.
However, the itinerary will give you an overview of the kind of budget combination that can be done: camping, WWOOFing, business hotels, love hotels, minshuku, mountain huts and so on. It is these decisions that will help you to keep costs to a minimum while still seeing the country and having a fantastic backpacking adventure.
