How to reduce fright price and feel one more culture

I love Shanghai very much and I've been there 5time in this year. 

Easy to go from Japan , yummy dumpling, safe, convenient, well diferent culture...

Shanghai is nice place for my short trip . If you can have Friday off, absolutely possible  to go every month. 

 

And I think this city is very nice point to transit to other countries. 

From Tokyo to somewhere fun place, it's not cheap. I can say price of tickets from Tokyo to far away somewhere is one of the most expensive . 

It's coming from that Japanese prices are mostly higher than other Asian countries. 

Japan, HongKong, Singapore. 

You shouldn't expect the word "cheap " for those 3 places. 

Anyway if you stop Shanghai a bit, I mean transit from Japan and fly somewhere, you can reduce your money  . 

I marely see full situation and never met over booking before for this line since  are excessive supply between Japan and Shanghai. 

Enjoy 12hours or so in Shanghai . 

I think it's enough to joy Chinese current culture a bit.
