How does a week in Tokyo cost?

Question

So far I worked the flight and hotel cost to be £1,732 per person, so how much would it cost to go out to a restaurant then a bar? Not bragging, just putting my info out, but I came into a bit of money and I can spend as much as my heart wants to, but I'm just wondering what a decent week in Tokyo would cost. The hotel has a nice restaurant and bar, so me and my boyfriend wouldn't eat out every night, but hopefully the answers have first hand experience with living and or being a tourist in Tokyo, so how much in yen did you have as spending money?

Answer 1

You can eat quite decently at a restaurant for ¥2000 (about £13) per day total for lunch and dinner per person. A bar depends on where, and range from moderate to insane.

Souvenirs can be a few pounds each to the sky is the limit. The other major factor which you didn't mention is transport, not to mention where you will go. If within the same city, if you travel a lot, you can get a day pass in many places. Or get a 3 day Tokyo subway pass for 1500 yen.

The cheapest way into Tokyo from Narita Airport is the ¥1000 bus.

If you want to travel by rail across Japan, look at getting a JR Pass - you can save a ton.

Even if you are staying in the same area, there are regional passes you can take advantage of as well.

You don't have to worry about running out of money so much though. If you have an ATM card you can easily get cash from any 7-11 or post office ATM, as well as some others, at a good exchange rate.

Answer 2

I think 100 pound (about 15,000 yen) per day is enough if you want to go to a bar at night. So it's 700 pounds for 1 week.
