How this is calculated
A US baseline of 90, 210 and 450 USD a day for the three tiers is multiplied by the price level of Japan (0.6486796390727583, World Bank 2025) and by a city-size factor of 1.1, then rounded to the nearest 5 dollars. Local amounts use the World Bank exchange rate of 149.657926890952 JPY to the dollar, rounded to two significant digits.
These are modeled estimates, not quoted prices. Read the full formula on the methodology page.

Where the money goes
Across the three tiers, the $65 budget estimate covers basic lodging, inexpensive meals, and local transit, while the $150 mid-range figure adds more comfortable accommodation and sit-down meals. The $320 luxury tier reflects higher-end hotels, restaurant dining, and fewer restrictions on activity spending. Over a full week these differences compound into totals of $455, $1,050, and $2,240, spreading a similar cost pattern across seven days.
The cheapest and quietest time to visit is during the off-season months of February, August, and December, when demand for accommodation and attractions tends to ease. All figures in this guide are estimates meant to give a general sense of costs rather than fixed prices, and actual spending will vary with individual choices.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Feb, Aug and Dec.
