Hitchhiking in '''Japan''' is quite easy, and the key to true budget travel in the country and the way to escape the country's ruinously expensive domestic transport costs, where an hour on the Shinkansen can set you back ¥10,000. Coupled with [[camping]], you can effectively cut down your daily budget to food and admission fees alone — - although it is wise to allow for the occasional (literal) rainy day.
