Japan Travel Budget Calculator
Build a daily and total travel budget for Japan covering accommodation, food, transport and activities.
About Japan Travel Budget Calculator
Accommodation is usually priced per room rather than per person, so it scales with nights only, while food and local transport scale with both nights and travellers. Separating flights out shows the on-the-ground cost, which is the part you can still influence. Trips overrun because per-day costs are multiplied by the wrong headcount; splitting the fixed and per-person components is what makes the total hold up.
Formula
