How much does it cost to go to Tokyo,Japan for a week? -

Im planning to go on a vacation to tokyo Japan for 7-9 days in the May-june time. Im in the U.S. an i want to stay at a fancy hotel and spending money to buy my friend suveniers.

I just recently checked on a flight between Japan and the U.S. and the cheapest I could find was a bit over $2000. (Northwest usually has the cheapest rates.) A standard quality hotel will cost around $200/night and up. You can find business hotels for down around $100/night. Fancy? Well, that depends on how you classify fancy, but it would be easy to hit $400/night. Unless you know your way around, you will probably want to take a couple of tours. Figure $1o0/each, though the cost will vary. You d be better off getting one-week pass for the trains/subways, though with Tokyo having so many different lines, I can t help you much there. Figure about $2-3 every time you get on a train and multiply that by the number of times you plan to do it a day. Taxis are expensive. Buses have always been confusing to me. Tours and trains, that s the ticket. Meals? Figure at least $50/day, which allows $10/each for breakfast/lunch and $30 for dinner. And if you are the type to stay in a fancy hotel, that s probably way on the low side. Souvenirs? The sky is the limit here and I think it would be hard for anyone to help you on this other than yourself. Maybe decide how much you are going to spend on each person and then find a gift that is in that price range? If you pay $400/night for a week, just airfare and hotel is almost $5K. Add at least $400 for meals. Another $250 for transportation. $200 for tours. Round off the total to $6000. I d add in another $1000 to be on the safe side. So say $7K plus your gifts.

well, plane fare alone will cost you around 1500-2200 dollars, and japanese hotels, especially oes in tokyo, can be very expensive. for a pretty fancy(not top of the line, obviously) hotel room, expect to pay from 250- 450 a night. that is unless you want to stay in a capsule hotel, which will run about 50 a night, but this is probably not an option for you. food can get pretty expensive in japan as well, as a matter of fact, many things in japan will be more expensive than their counterparts back home, so bring at least 1200- 1500 spending money. whatever you do, dont take a taxi anywhere, they can get rediculous. your probably gonna end up spending like 5000 or more, that is unless you budget very well. have fun and good luck, i am actually gonna study abroad in tokyo for a semester and i am putting like half of my income away for the 4 months i will be there, lol.
