How it works: pick a travel style and the calculator fills in typical per-day costs in yen. Every figure is editable — replace them with real quotes as you plan. These are rough, approximate ranges, not quotes. See our budget breakdown guide for the reasoning behind the defaults.
What the styles assume
- Budget: hostel dorms or capsule hotels, convenience-store breakfasts, set-lunch restaurants, mostly free sights.
- Mid-range: business or mid-range hotels, casual restaurants and izakaya, a paid attraction or two each day.
- Luxury: upscale hotels or ryokan, fine dining, guided tours and taxis.
Costs are much higher in peak periods (cherry blossom season, Golden Week, Obon, New Year) and in Paris and Nice & the French Riviera than in smaller cities.
