Planning your Japan travel expenses

Combine hostels, business hotels and a ryokan stay to suit your itinerary. Avoid counting meals twice when they are included in the room rate.

Separate shinkansen journeys from everyday metro travel. Compare individual tickets and passes before booking, and check theme park prices for your dates.

Keep the result in yen to compare bookings. To convert, multiply by your currency’s price per yen and add any applicable exchange fees.

Budget questions

Are international flights included?

No. Add international flights, documents and other expenses paid before departure separately.

Are these current price quotes?

No. Starting prices are editable estimates. Check prices for your dates and route.

How do I calculate for a group?

Enter quantities for the whole group. For shared rooms, count each room per night and use the room price. Do not multiply the final total again by the number of travelers.

Why are days and nights separate?

A 15-day trip may include 14 nights. Days multiply only daily spending; accommodation uses the nights you enter.
