There is a lot of conflicting information online about the travel costs in Japan; some swear it\u2019s the priciest country they\u2019ve been to, while others are raving about fantastic $5 meals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, is Japan really as expensive as some people say? It\u2019s both a yes and a no. Some things in the country, like transportation, are very expensive, and others are not. The balance is there, and a trip to Japan is possible on any budget. <\/p>\n<p>We have visited Japan several times and have based this article on our experiences.

I\u2019ve planned my perfect itinerary to a T, and I\u2019m just waiting for the right moment in life to take off and spend two weeks in this magnificent country. As I was planning the trip, I realized that Japan isn\u2019t really an expensive country. Sure, it costs a lot of money to get there, especially if you\u2019re from Europe, and the cost of getting around Japan isn\u2019t negligible, but that\u2019s the most expensive thing about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Accommodation is available in every price range, and you can spend as little as $16 for a bed in a hostel or splurge $650 for a night in a five-star hotel. Eating out in Japan can be super cheap or wildly expensive, depending on whether you\u2019re munching ramen on the go or splurging for Kobe beef. The country can cater to anyone, and no matter your travel style and personal preferences, you can have a good time there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The exchange rate is approximately 152 Yen to $1, so don\u2019t be scared to see many zeros on price tags in Japan.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cost-of-accommodation-nbsp\">Cost of Accommodation\u00a0<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Accommodation costs in japan\" class=\"wp-image-247054\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Accommodation-costs-in-Japan.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Accommodation-costs-in-Japan-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Accommodation-costs-in-Japan-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Accommodation-costs-in-Japan-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Accommodation-costs-in-Japan-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Accommodation-costs-in-Japan.jpg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Accommodation-costs-in-Japan.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Accommodation-costs-in-Japan.jpg\" alt=\"Accommodation costs in japan\" class=\"wp-image-247054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Accommodation-costs-in-Japan.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Accommodation-costs-in-Japan-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Accommodation-costs-in-Japan-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Accommodation-costs-in-Japan-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Accommodation-costs-in-Japan-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Accommodation-costs-in-Japan.jpg\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Accommodation in Japan is surprisingly affordable and there are hotels for everyone. Beds range from $16 per night in cheap hostels, up to $4,000 for a room in the best luxury hotels, with a myriad of options in between.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Budget travelers<\/strong> will have plenty of options in Japan, but I have to mention <strong>capsule hotels<\/strong> as one of the best options for a cheap stay. The capsule hotel is a Japanese invention and a great alternative to hostel dormitories. Nine Hours Hamamatsucho is a good option for a Tokyo stay.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Travelers with a mid-range budget <\/strong>will be spoiled for choice in Japan. Stay in three-star and four-star hotels in big cities or quaint ryokans in smaller towns, like the Ryokan Inakatei in Kyoto. Most mid-range hotels in Japan include breakfast in the nightly rate and offer private rooms with ensuite bathrooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luxury accommodations<\/strong> in Japan are abundant, ranging from high-end chain hotels, like the Ritz Carlton in Osaka, to fantastic luxury ryokans with private onsens. If you want to be pampered during your trip to Japan, you will have plenty of options for luxury stays.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that you can get much better value for money if you stay outside the city center. A small hotel in Tokyo\u2019s Shibuya can cost as much as a mid-range hotel in Itabashi. Stay outside the city center to get more bang for your buck, especially if you\u2019ve decided to get the JR Pass for unlimited travel on local transportation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Cost of hotels in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-247053\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-hotels-in-japan.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-hotels-in-japan-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-hotels-in-japan-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-hotels-in-japan-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-hotels-in-japan-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-hotels-in-japan.jpg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-hotels-in-japan.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-hotels-in-japan.jpg\" alt=\"Cost of hotels in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-247053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-hotels-in-japan.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-hotels-in-japan-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-hotels-in-japan-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-hotels-in-japan-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-hotels-in-japan-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-hotels-in-japan.jpg\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-27c2771b\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-budget\">Budget:\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Hostels and capsule hotels are abundant in Japan, especially in the bigger cities.

In Kyoto, you can book one room for two at a five-star hotel for $150-200, and the prices drop even more if you look at accommodations outside the tourist hotspots. That\u2019s a budget of just $300-600, usually on the lower end, for a week trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-luxury\">Luxury:<\/h3>\n<p>Luxury hotels start at roughly $150 per person for a nightly stay in the cheaper cities.

You should visit at least two or three cities when you\u2019re there, and the more destinations you can squeeze into your itinerary, the better.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I reckon everyone knows that trains are the best way of getting around Japan. The high-speed bullet trains that reach speeds of more than 300 km\/h have become world famous, and are excellent for quickly traveling from one city to another. The only downside is the cost, as they are very expensive.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I was actually surprised at the cost of high-speed trains in Japan, especially since the inner-city trains and buses are relatively inexpensive. It\u2019s even possible you\u2019ll spend more on transportation than you would on accommodation, which is insane to me. But it would be absolutely worth it because you\u2019d get to discover a good chunk of this fabulous country.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Taking the Bullet train in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-247061\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Bullet-train-in-japan.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Bullet-train-in-japan-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Bullet-train-in-japan-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Bullet-train-in-japan-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Bullet-train-in-japan-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Bullet-train-in-japan.jpg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Bullet-train-in-japan.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Bullet-train-in-japan.jpg\" alt=\"Taking the Bullet train in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-247061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Bullet-train-in-japan.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Bullet-train-in-japan-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Bullet-train-in-japan-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Bullet-train-in-japan-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Bullet-train-in-japan-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Bullet-train-in-japan.jpg\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-1decfde4\">\n<p>The best way to save money on train travel in Japan is to get the Japan Rail Pass. The starting cost of the pass for adults is:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>7 days for $341<\/li>\n<li>14 days for $554\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>21 days for $692\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A children\u2019s pass is cheaper, but there\u2019s also a first-class pass that\u2019s even more expensive. The JR Pass includes local trains, express trains, some bus lines, and shinkansen, and even partially covers the Nozomi and Mizuho lines. It\u2019s a lot of money, and I wasn\u2019t joking when I said that it could be more expensive than accommodation; two weeks in a hostel or a capsule hotel can be booked for as little as $300, which is nearly half of the cost of the two-week pass.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The ride from Tokyo to Kyoto is roughly two and a half hours by regular Shinkansen (not the Nozomi line) and costs around $88 one way. That\u2019s almost $180 just on transportation for a day trip. If you also want to visit Nara, Hiroshima, Kobe, Osaka, and Nagoya, you can see just how much the pass is worth getting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cost-of-food\">Cost of Food<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Cost of food in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-247057\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-food-in-Japan.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-food-in-Japan-676x507.jpg 676w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-food-in-Japan-1423x1067.jpg 1423w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-food-in-Japan-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-food-in-Japan-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-food-in-Japan-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-food-in-Japan.jpg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-food-in-Japan.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-food-in-Japan.jpg\" alt=\"Cost of food in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-247057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-food-in-Japan.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-food-in-Japan-676x507.jpg 676w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-food-in-Japan-1423x1067.jpg 1423w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-food-in-Japan-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-food-in-Japan-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-food-in-Japan-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-food-in-Japan.jpg\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Eating out is generally very cheap in Japan, and you can get by with a $25 budget per day, even if you eat out every single day. There are plenty of street food stalls and family-owned hole-in-the-wall restaurants where you can get a surprisingly good meal for as little as $5, which is mindblowing to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the other end of the spectrum, there are just as many fine-dining establishments where you can splurge for delicious sushi or indulge in Kobe beef. Whether you\u2019re able to spend $15 or $150 per day on food in Japan, you won\u2019t be hungry during your trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One important thing to note is that grocery shopping and preparing meals at the accommodation are not really cheap in Japan. The cuisine in Japan is very different from that in Europe and the United States and uses a lot of ingredients that aren\u2019t common elsewhere. If you don\u2019t know how to cook these foods, you\u2019ll be forced to buy imported foods, which are generally quite pricey. So, grocery shopping can sometimes be more expensive than eating out \u2013 it\u2019s counterintuitive, I know, but I\u2019d just run with it and eat noodles three times a day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-Vertical\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Kobe beef in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-247055\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Japanese-food-costs.jpg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Japanese-food-costs-640x960.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Japanese-food-costs-640x960.jpg\" alt=\"Kobe beef in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-247055\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Japanese-food-costs.jpg\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>You can eat out every day in Japan, three times a day, with a low budget of $150 per week. I would say that it would be much easier to find cheap but good restaurants in bigger cities like Tokyo because they offer a wider variety of such establishments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One thing I will note is that it\u2019s best to avoid restaurants that have huge signs in English to attract visitors. These are usually tourist traps that are twice as expensive as the really good local restaurants, but the food won\u2019t be anywhere near as good.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For a mid-range budget, expect to spend up to $20 per meal, not including breakfast, which is cheaper. So, roughly $50 per day for a weekly budget of $350, but keep in mind that you\u2019d likely pay less than $20 for most meals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even the high-end restaurants are not that expensive compared to those in the US, as you can eat some of the most decadent food for under $100. You can eat a hearty Galbi Gukbap at one of the best-rated restaurants in Tokyo for just $10. Kobe beef is really the most expensive thing to eat in Japan, and unless you\u2019re having it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you can splurge on fancier eateries with a budget of $500 per week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Is it worth it to splurge on Kobe beef? You might be wondering. I think it is, and I\u2019m absolutely planning to do it when I get the chance. If you like eating steak, there\u2019s nothing like it; it\u2019s a delicacy, and even if you are able to eat it elsewhere in the world, it will never taste as good as it does in Kobe, Japan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cost-of-activities\">Cost of Activities<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-Vertical\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Cost of activities in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-247052\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan-338x507.jpg 338w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan-712x1067.jpg 712w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan.jpg 1067w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan.jpg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan-640x960.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan-640x960.jpg\" alt=\"Cost of activities in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-247052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan-338x507.jpg 338w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan-712x1067.jpg 712w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan.jpg 1067w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/Cost-of-activities-in-Japan.jpg\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Things to do in Japan are abundant and surprisingly affordable. Just walking around the cities is a wonderful experience and a fun thing to do for free. A guided tour of Tokyo will cost you $60-120, but it\u2019s important to note that you can explore the city on your own if you want. Sit at a cafe and watch people at the Shibuya crossing, visit all the famous Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples, and check out all the quirky shops in Harajuku \u2013 none of those things cost a dime.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even just walking around the train stations in Tokyo will be a new experience that can easily kill an afternoon. They\u2019re enormous, for one, and it will take a while to figure out where you need to go if you want to catch a train. But with countless restaurants and a different convenience store every couple of steps, it\u2019s like exploring a tiny city within a much bigger one.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"visiting Tokyo Skytree in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-247062\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/tokyo-skytree-in-japan.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/tokyo-skytree-in-japan-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/tokyo-skytree-in-japan-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/tokyo-skytree-in-japan-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/tokyo-skytree-in-japan-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/tokyo-skytree-in-japan.jpg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/tokyo-skytree-in-japan.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/tokyo-skytree-in-japan.jpg\" alt=\"visiting Tokyo Skytree in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-247062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/tokyo-skytree-in-japan.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/tokyo-skytree-in-japan-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/tokyo-skytree-in-japan-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/tokyo-skytree-in-japan-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/tokyo-skytree-in-japan-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/tokyo-skytree-in-japan.jpg\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>You can climb Mount Fuji for less than $15, and spend an entire day at Disneyland Tokyo or Universal Studios in Osaka for $65 at most.

I\u2019ll break it down for you, but I want to note that that\u2019s what a mid-range budget for a week in Japan would be for one person. Also, keep in mind that, if you\u2019re traveling with someone else, you\u2019ll spend less money on accommodation as it\u2019s cheaper to split the cost of a double room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$700-1000 for return flights<\/li>\n<li>$300-600 for mid-range hotels (six nights with breakfast)\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>$250 for food ($35 per day)<\/li>\n<li>$341 for the JRl Pass<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>On the lower end, that\u2019s just under $1,600, leaving $400 for a week\u2019s worth of fun in Japan. With a budget of roughly $60 per day, you can explore loads \u2013 do a couple of cheap attractions in one day, and you\u2019ll have plenty left over the next day for something more expensive like Universal Studios or Disneyland.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the higher end, that\u2019s around $2,200 without activities, so around $2,500 for a week trip. And that\u2019s if you splurge on good food every day, and stay at a four-star or even five-star hotel in central Tokyo every night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible to do Japan in a week for about $1,500. Find a cheap ho(s)tel for about $150 and cut the budget for food to $150, leaving another $150 for activities. You can explore a lot with that amount of money, but you likely won\u2019t be able to visit the most expensive tourist attractions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Also, you can save some money on flights if you look for deals and travel in the off-season; I\u2019ve seen return flights from London and San Francisco for roughly $600, so it all depends on where you\u2019re traveling from.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-budget-for-2-weeks-in-japan-nbsp\">A Budget for 2 Weeks in Japan\u00a0<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"two weeks in japan budget\" class=\"wp-image-247050\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/two-weeks-in-japan-budget.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/two-weeks-in-japan-budget-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/two-weeks-in-japan-budget-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/two-weeks-in-japan-budget-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/two-weeks-in-japan-budget-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/two-weeks-in-japan-budget.jpg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/two-weeks-in-japan-budget.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/two-weeks-in-japan-budget.jpg\" alt=\"two weeks in japan budget\" class=\"wp-image-247050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/two-weeks-in-japan-budget.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/two-weeks-in-japan-budget-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/two-weeks-in-japan-budget-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/two-weeks-in-japan-budget-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/two-weeks-in-japan-budget-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/theplanetd.com\/images\/two-weeks-in-japan-budget.jpg\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Two weeks in Japan is my dream scenario, and I\u2019ve figured out that it can easily be done for $3,000. That\u2019s roughly $200 per day, including flights, transportation, accommodation, food, activities, and some light shopping!\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-e9a292fa\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-detailed-breakdown\">A Detailed Breakdown:\u00a0<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>$554 for the train pass<\/li>\n<li>Around $450 for budget hotels in big cities and mid-range hotels in smaller towns (this three-star Tokyo hotel is really cheap)<\/li>\n<li>Roughly $750 for a round-trip flight from Rome to Tokyo\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>$350 for food, which is a budget of $25 per day (breakfast is included in the hotel stay)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>That leaves $900 for shopping and sightseeing activities, which is $65 daily. That\u2019s plenty of money to have heaps of fun in Japan; it\u2019s the exact amount you need for the most expensive ticket to Disneyland Tokyo, which will keep you busy the entire day. Or enough money to spend an afternoon in an onsen, explore a museum, and buy a few souvenirs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s my take on a budget version of two weeks in Japan. If you can find cheaper flights and you don\u2019t mind staying in hostels with shared bathrooms, you can save about $150 on accommodation and cut the entertainment budget in half. Overall, it is possible to do two weeks in Japan for roughly $2,500, but you\u2019d have to watch every cent you spend.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Anywhere from $3,000 to 5,000 per person is a mid-range budget with better hotels and meals at fancier restaurants, while a budget over $5,000 for two weeks ($350+ per day) per person is enough for a luxury trip to Japan. Of course, you could book a hotel that\u2019s $1,000 per night and easily spend more than $15,000 on the entire trip, but it\u2019s worth noting that you can experience some luxury in Japan for a lot less.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-japan-expensive-faqs\">Is Japan Expensive?
