Yen per person, sorted by spend per trip. * Our division of the published figures: per day = per trip ÷ (average nights + 1); accommodation per night = accommodation per trip ÷ average nights (per person, not a hotel room rate). † Fewer than 500 survey respondents. Amounts are in yen only because exchange rates change daily.
Cost by trip length
The same averages applied to a fixed number of days for one person, for the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia side by side. Each nationality page has its own 7, 10 and 14-day figures, and the calculator takes any number of nights and travellers.
What the numbers are, and what they are not
- International flights to and from Japan are not included in any line.
- The figures are survey averages over all respondents, including people who spent nothing in a category (for example, stayed with friends). They are not prices quoted by hotels, restaurants or shops.
- The accommodation figure per night is per person, not per room, and is not a hotel room rate.
- The survey amounts include the in-Japan share of package-tour fees, split across the categories.
- Transport, entertainment and shopping are averages for a whole trip. They are shown as one trip's worth and are not scaled to the number of nights you enter.
- Food per day is the trip average spread over every day in Japan, arrival and departure days included. Average nights are published to one decimal place, and the per-night and per-day values inherit that rounding.
- Survey year: 2025 (final figures). Prices in 2026 may differ. Leisure figures based on fewer than 500 respondents: United Kingdom (442), Canada (457), France (409), Germany (367), India (256), Italy (325), Russia (188), Singapore (449), Spain (404).
The survey lines above have no separate figure for mobile data. To budget for it, compare the eSIM, SIM card and pocket Wi-Fi prices for Japan from each provider's own page.
