How much would it cost for 4 people to travel to Japan?

Question:

Me and 3 of my friends want to go to japan after we graduate from high school, and I would like to know how much money would it cost for the 3 of us to go and how much pocket money we should bring, you know all that stuff.

Answer:

You are not telling us how long you want to stay in Japan.


Air fare: You need $1000-1500 if you are departing from US

Hotel: Usually, you need $100 per night if you want to stay at a hotel.
If you want to save money, you need to stay at a hostel which will cost $30-50 per night.
If you want to stay at a luxury hotel, you need $200-300 or more.

Food, transportation and others: You need $50-100 or so per day. If you want to enjoy shopping, you need more.

So you need $100 for hotel and $75 for others per day per person, or 2 people as you can book a twin room. If you want to stay in Japan for 2 weeks, the total cost will be $4900 and airfare for 4 people $5000. You need around $10000 in total.
