How much does it cost to travel in Japan?

Japan can be a quite expensive country to travel to. Each trip is naturally different but many essential expenses are costly.

Of course, with many expenditures at hand, it is impossible to offer a definitive answer on the cost of a travel in Japan. However, it is still possible to give estimate expenditure ranges for the main items:

From the United States, prices for a roundtrip flight ticket to Japan range between US$750 (sales promotion, with a stopover) and US$3~4,000 (direct flight, Business class). It can even be way more expensive in First Class.

ACCOMMODATION

Allow at least US$100 per person and per night, depending on the type of accommodation in Japan and the season.
