Always wanted to visit japan?

Question:

as in the question says it all. what should i save up to visit japan. Include plane ticket, food, hotel

Answer:

Airfare from the US is usually around USD$1200-$1500 depending on port of departure and time of year.

A regular hotel will set you back about USD$100 a night for a single room or USD$150 for a double. Try a Business Hotel for a good compromise with prices around USD$70 for a single room and USD$100 for a double. I recommend the Toyoko Inn hotel chain located all over Japan.

Prices at regular Japanese restaurants are usually USD$8-$15 a meal, but food can cost you about USD$5-8 a meal if you eat at budget Japanese restaurants like Yoshinoya, Sukiya, and CoCo Ichiban Curry House.

I would say about USD$80-100 a day is possible done on a budget.
