Plane tickets, yes, holy crap. But once inside Japan, it's not that expensive! When I booked hotels I found plenty that were the equivalent of $60US or less per night, and none of them were crappy. If you're solo traveling or have only 2 people total, a lot of low-cost options open up for you. You can eat like a king on 500-700Y full set meals and the konbini scene is no joke - cheap breakfast, snacks, and drinks anytime anywhere and they taste great. Japan is only expensive if your goal is to eat only Michelin starred food and shop at luxury goods stores.

I did 18 days on the ground for about 5K and more than half of that was the plane ticket. A week, if you're solo and plan enough in advance to get good hotel deals? Saving up to swing that is far more doable than you'd think.

Absolutely. I've been to Japan twice and I'm planning a third trip for this year and the plane tickets are always the most expensive part. Food is cheap, hotels are cheap, and if you get a JR pass then traveling around is cheap too.

I'm so mad that they jacked up the JR pass but I get it. JR was losing money on tourists only doing the golden route and nothing else, it's supposed to encourage tourists to go further. We maxed out our passes in '23, we went from Osaka to Hiroshima, to Miyajima (hell yes the JR ferry counts too), to Kumamoto, to Kyoto, to Matsumoto, to Nagano, then back and forth between Nagano and Ueda a couple times, to Saitama, to Sendai, then finally to Tokyo, which was both within Tokyo and out to Odawaraw and back. The only train we had to pay for was the special local route from Ueda to Bessho Onsen and back, and that was like...five bucks lol.

It was my once-in-a-lifetime mid-life crisis trip and somehow we're still able to afford to go again, so the next time we're doing a smaller regional Kansai trip to historical locations circling Lake Biwa and sumo tournament in Osaka. We're literally staring at plane tickets right now, the only obstacle to going right away in March next year or waiting a year or two is the plane tickets. UGH.
