Absolutely true. The key point is traveling between cities.

What I didn't express very well in my last post was that if I were coming to Japan for just a visit, and not living here, I'd save up to really enjoy the best the place has to offer, not just the cheap stuff.
Especially in Japan where there is such a huge range and variety of food to have. And most cities have their own specialties too.

I agree with this. I could easily spend 100+ dollars a day on food in Japan without thinking. It would take me an effort if I were staying at a hotel to spend less than 3000 yen in a day on food.
