How much money should i take on a holiday to japan?
Spending a week in Tokyo shouldn’t be too much. Here is an estimate based on the necessities. Food: Breakfast: 200~1000 Yen. This will generally be convenience food for 200, or Starbucks for 1000. Lunch: 500~2000 Yen. If you head to the fast food Japanese shops such as “Yoshinoya” (Rice with thin slices of beef and onions on top) or “Tenya” (Tempura on rice), it will be roughly 500 yen. If you go to a restaurant, you can expect up to 2000 Yen. Dinner: 2000~7000 Yen and up. I generally enjoy a nicer dinner when I travel. A cheap meal would be roughly 2000 Yen, including a soft drink. Add around 500~700 Yen for a beer and you are looking at around 3000 Yen. If you go to a nice restaurant, the sky is the limit. All you can eat and drink menus tend to be around 3600~5000 Yen for 90 minutes. I rarely go over 5000 Yen for just a meal. If I’m going drinking after dinner, then I can spend up to 7000 Yen. Mid day snacks/drinks: Due to the amount of walking you’ll be doing, expect around 200~500
