How expensive is Tokyo?

Restaurants and hotels in Japan cost about 104% of what they cost in the United States, by the World Bank’s International Comparison Program (2021). That puts it close to US prices for the two things a trip spends most on.

How these estimates work

Mid-range uses the U.S. government’s per diem for each place: the most a federal traveler may claim for a hotel room, by season, plus meals and incidentals. It tracks a solid business-class hotel and restaurant meals.

Budget and luxury rooms use published guide figures for Tokyo, converted to US dollars and linked beside each number; ranges are averaged. Where a guide gives no daily food spend, food uses the same government meal allowance as mid-range.

Currencies are converted at the European Central Bank reference rate, or the U.S. Treasury reporting rate where the ECB has none, as of October 8, 2026.

Not included: flights, activities and shopping. Two travelers share a room; a third takes a second room.
