It’s Not Cheap
Apr 21, 2018
Sure, you could paddle your way across the Pacific, but that’s just not safe nowadays, what with pirates and shark-laced water spouts and all. Airfare to Japan is killer. The way I figure it, even if you kept expenses to a minimum, you’re looking at $3,390 for an average 10 day stay. And I think a more realistic number is $4,000. Airfare and hotel can be big variables, but here’s the other things.
$40 for the NEX train from Narita airport to Tokyo
$100 for general train fare if you’re just floating around Tokyo. Further afield can run a few hundred more.
$500 for food. If a bowl of ramen runs you $10 or a conbini feast $5-$15, that’s do-able.
$500 for stuff. You know you want stuff. There sure is a lot of stuff in Tokyo. And it’s for sale.
