I created a free calculator to help you plan your budget and estimate your costs for a trip to Japan.

The tool gives you a realistic estimate of your total and daily spending, broken down into all the major expense categories: accommodation, food, transportation, experiences, and shopping.

I made this tool for:

• People who aren’t sure how much to budget for Japan. Try out different budgets and trip lengths to see what kind of travel style fits your plans.
• People who already have a budget but don’t know if it’s enough, or how to divide it. The calculator will show you exactly how much to allocate to each category, along with what you can afford.

You can try the calculator here.

It’s super simple to use: just enter your total budget per person and your trip duration. The tool will break down your expenses by category and tell you what’s realistically within your range.

This is not a generic travel cost calculator—I designed it specifically for trips to Japan. The breakdown is based on real spending data from recent travelers, using official statistics from the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO).

If you have any feedback or questions about this tool, I’ll be happy to answer if you contact me here.
