Budget Overview

Japan can work for different budgets, but transport and accommodation need early attention. The best approach is to separate fixed costs from daily spending.

  • Flights and long-distance transport
  • Hotels or ryokan stays
  • Food and convenience store meals
  • Attractions, passes and local transport

Transport Costs

Long-distance train travel can be one of the biggest costs. Compare your route before buying passes, especially if you are only visiting one region.

Daily Spending

Food can be surprisingly flexible in Japan. Mix casual meals with a few planned restaurants, then track the rest as daily spending.
