Would $8,000 Be Enough Money For A Trip To Japan? This Doesn't Count Travel Expense.

I'm saving up to go to Japan for a vacation, and I am trying to figure out how much money to take with me. My initial estimate is $8k for hotel, food and spending money. Does that sound like enough? HELP!!!

    How long are you planning on staying. Find out how much your hotel will be and add another 15%. Whatever you think you will spend on food, add another 25%. And right now, with the dollar all over the place, it's even harder to calculate. Though I believe Japan is struggling too which may help you out. When I used to travel, I tried to stay at hotels that included breakfast and I usually had my big meal of the day at lunchtime since lunch is usually cheaper than dinner. Then I would be able to eat at nice restaurants and not spend quite so much money. Plus I would pick up fresh fruit at the local markets for snacks to save money for the other things. And if you drink, remember alcohol can get expensive quick! And when you are on vacation, talk to the locals (if you can) and find out where they go. Then you usually get the best food at a better price. I don't know if this helps at all but I hope it helped a little. Good luck. And have fun!!! I miss traveling. Someday I will travel again.

    Thank you, that helps a lot. Luckily, I don't drink at all, so... Plus I am fortunate that I actually have a friend of my family living in Japan that would let me stay with them. Looks like it's fate drawing me there... Lol. Thanks!
