Budget for a Trip
Looking at a solo trip for 2-3 weeks, more than likely in October at the moment.
Original plan was July/August for the summer firework festivals but advice on weather scared me so thoughts on October weather would be great too.
I’m looking at a direct flight from London-Tokyo for ease which is booking at approx £1100 return.
I was wondering how much cash do I need for my actual stay in Japan.
Currently my itinerary isn’t rock solid however would consist of 4 nights in Tokyo, the same 4-5 between Osaka and Kyoto, day trip to Nara as well as renting a car from Osaka for the remainder and go see places like Shirakawago and more local hole in the wall towns and shrines.
I’m not a massive shopper so don’t expect to be buying loads of stuff however a UNIQLO trip will defo be on the cards and will be browsing other department stores so may still end up with a handful of smaller goodies.
I love food and aim to make the most of that whilst I’m out and aim to be staying in hotels and such of course during my time there.
I also have a query regarding ad hoc accommodation as since I’ll be renting a car from there i’ll have free reign to change my plans as I desire so is that something achievable?
Wondering on guidance for total accommodation costs, for lets say a decent-ish hotel in Tokyo and other bigger cities as potentially something a bit more cultural as well beyond that?
Rental costs for a car for about week and a half or so?
Basically for my ideal trip, how much should I be aiming to take with me?
Any ideas re: places to visit and changes to my time of year or anything else is massively appreciated.
Thanks a bunch.
