How much to go to japan, an what's to see?

Question:

Ive always wanted to go to see the life style and atmosphere. Though, when in 20, how much to go, get at least a 3 star? Also, what are some MUST sees in Japan, and when's the best time to go? Would someone who knows little Japanese be ok there? Anything I should know before i would decide to go?
Thanks

Answer:

>Also, what are some MUST sees in Japan,

It depends on where in Japan you go.

>and when's the best time to go?

April to see cherry blossoms.

>Would someone who knows little Japanese be ok there?

There is English signs in large cities like Tokyo or Osaka. So you will be OK somewhat.

>how much to go, get at least a 3 star?

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

Hotel: Usually, you need $120 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 $40-60 per night.
If you want to stay at a luxury hotel, you need $250-300 or more.

Food, transportation and others: You need $60-120 or so per day. If you want to enjoy shopping, you need more.

So you need $120 for hotel and $90 for others per day. If you want to stay in Japan for 2 weeks, the total cost will be $2940.
