How much would a 1 week vacation in Tokyo cost?

Question

I want to go to tokyo on vacation, about how much would it cost in all for two people? including airfare and food etc...?

Answer 1

well, you can get an ordinary hotel for 7000 yen per day. You need to spend at least 3000 to 4000 yen on food. That makes it approx. 10,000 yen per day. For 7 days that would be 70,000 yen for two people. Add some site seeing. For example, Tokyo Disneyland costs 5,000 yen. Or you may want to go to Nikko and Hakone which are near Tokyo. In all it should cost more than 100,000 yen which is approx. $ 950. Say I should be able to manage with $1,000. For air fare please check with any travel agent. They have good deals with them.

Answer 2

At least, 7000 bucks.

Including everything.

Answer 3

Just with the airline fees, from Chicago to Narita, about $5,000, food, stuff is expensive so let's say about $1,000 dollars to be extra careful, hotels, http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/490/... and it will be about $300 for a week, transportation, let's say about $200. So about $6,500

Answer 4

Well, I'll budget for one person, and then we'll double that amount.

The plane ride alone is at least $1000 roundtrip. I couldn't find anything less than $1150 from Chicago to Narita (Tokyo area airport). However, I did a search on Priceline, and you can get a 4-star hotel in Shinjuku for $1686 with the roundtrip airfare included. That's pretty good. Then all you would need to budget in is food and transportation. I budgeted $15 for food and that was too much for me. But $15-$20 would probably be good otherwise. Let's take the latter and say $140. Then transportation would probably be no more than $10 a day. Japan Rail East provides a 'Tokunai' pass which is only $7 a day for unlimited travel between the Tokyo area. Even then, you probably wouldn't need that.

A trip of one week would require much planning. I could personally do it because I would know how to use the train system. You could get to most destinations on the train line. If I were to plan the trip, here are some things I would do-

-Hakone: There's a great hot spring resort. The ideal would be to book two nights at an inn. The place I am thinking of is called Yunessun. For a three-day unlimited rail pass from Shinjuku station, it's about $50. This allows you the ride up to the Hakone area by train (the Odakyu Line), and then free bus to the resort, which is tucked away in the mountains, anyway. We took incredible advantage of our pass during our trip to Hakone by riding a cable car, then a gondola through the mountains to Lake Ashi. Then a pirate boat ride to the other side. This was all free because of the pass we had. It's an absolutely incredible deal, so I would recommend it. Of course, the resort price...I don't remember how much the inn was (let's say $50), and the resort was about $40 (waterpark and onsen). The resort had different types of baths like a green tea spa, coffee spa, sake spa, etc. Very relaxing.

-Tokyo Tower: A fairly easy subway ride from Shinjuku. The tower costs about $15 per person. Let's say $25 including transportation and a meal.

-Tokyo Disneyland: I wouldn't recommend staying in a hotel there because it's really expensive ($300 a night min.) But you could definitely take a train there and back for one or two days if you wanted to see Disneyland one day and then DisneySea another. It's $60 each, from what I remember. Should budget $20 more for food and transportation.

Well, that's a good start. So adding it up, it's about $2200. That's before spending money. So I'd say you could do it for about $2500 each. Seems a lot lower than what I had originally thought, but I think with the right amount of planning, it can be done for $5000 for two people. To be safe, I might say $6000.

Hope that helps a little bit!
