How much money should I bring to japan?
 

I'm going on a two week trip to japan in a little while, and was wondering how much I should bring for food. It's a school trip, and I'm not planning to go to any fancy places, but enough to keep me going for the day, and maybe one meal in a moderately nice restaraunt?

Would 450$ be enough?:)

You get to go on a school trip to Japan?!

That's 32 dollars a day, and should be plenty. Are you doing a home stay?

No, just our middle school trip for those who study japanese. We are going to Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara and Osaka, and staying in multiple hotels.

Home stay sounds fun, though

:3

What will you need to pay for when you are there? Is accommodations all paid for? If so, 450 should be enough

Well, I need to pay for souveniers and food, as everything else gets payed for in advance.

I saved up souvenier money, but needed to know how much i should bring for food
So, yah, great!
I have enough then!

Even if you indulge in a Big Mac meal for every meal (and that's expensive for American standards), that would run you about $10 per Big Mac meal, so you should be fine. But just take some extra money for the "just in cases".... I know of no one who can go to Japan for 12 days and not buy souvenirs in whatever form (toys, candy, snacks, t-shirt, etc.) And don't forget your camera!

I am going on a trip and will be spending 50 to 80 a day at maximum.

I have to pay for everything so your budget is plenty :D

Okay, I'll bring a little extra, to make sure I can eat. (though I did pack a little too much money for souveniers, so most of that can go to my food fund)

It might be tight if you have to pay for food... 3 meals a day will definitely cost more than 30 bucks a day, and thats not a lot of money for food, unless you want to eat off convenience store food or ramen for all 3 meals every day
