How much money would I need for a 2 week group trip to Tokyo, Japan?
I'm gonna be traveling with my friends, next year or so, to Tokyo and I was wondering how much money we should make. There would be 11 of us, and one 15-year-old coming with us, so I wanted to know the money estimate for the plane ticket, hotel, food, and transportation. If you have a good estimate on any of these, please answer!

No one on this site can give you an accurate answer since there are too many variables, such as: what airline will you use, do you fly 1st class, business class, economy, what day of the week you fly on, which month you go in, where you will stay(hostel, business hotel ryokan etc.), where you will eat, what kind of food you will eat, what kind of and how how many souvenirs you will buy, where you will go(sightseeing places), what kind of transportation you use, etc. My best advice to you is to go see a travel agent, and maybe that agent can arrange for a group discount.

Appox. 756.38 Euro which is equal to 1099.2471 USD but when you convert from Euro to Yen you get 88027.5044 Yen.

Figure $1500 for the air flight. 7000 yen/night for a business hotel each. (You can get doubles and save a bit more as I think a double would run about 10,000 yen.) Standard hotel would run you 10,000 or 15,000 yen/night for the same deal. For food I'd say at least 5,000 yen/day. Transport maybe 3000 yen/day. Those last two figures leave some breathing room, but ask yourself if you would rather bring back a little money or run out of money all together while in Japan. You do the math.

Like the first person said, no one can give a 100% accurate answer. Examples here are all down to personal experiences. As the saying goes ' bring as much as you can afford'. With regards to tickets (and possibly hotels) look at comparison sites and get best quotes and take it from there. You are going next year and these quotes change quicker than the seasons that is why it is best you have a look yourself. This is called empowerment :)

Airfare from the US is usually around USD$1200-$1500 depending on the point of departure and time of year. A regular hotel will set you back about USD$100 a night for a single room or USD$150 for a double. Try a Business Hotel for a good compromise with prices around USD$70 for a single room and USD$100 for a double. I recommend the Toyoko Inn hotel chain located all over Japan. Prices at regular Japanese restaurants are usually USD$8-$15 a meal, but food can cost you about USD$5-8 a meal if you eat at budget Japanese restaurants like Yoshinoya, Sukiya, and CoCo Ichiban Curry House. I would say about USD$80-100 a day is possible done on a budget.

Air fare: You need $1000-1500 if you are departing from US Hotel: Usually, you need $100 per night if you want to stay at a hotel. If you want to save money, you need to stay at a hostel which will cost $30-50 per night. If you want to stay at a luxury hotel, you need $200-300 or more. Food, transportation and others: You need $50-100 or so per day. If you want to enjoy shopping, you need more. So you need $100 for hotel and $75 for others per day. If you want to stay in Japan for 2 weeks, the total cost will be $2450. This is just one estimate of 1 person staying in Tokyo for 2 weeks. Yes, there might be many uncertainties if you are as many as 11. Like how many hotel rooms do you need? But I hope it will help you somehow.

1000-1200 for airline 75-150 for hotel if budget on food 5-15 dollars a day. if budget on entertainment 60-100 dollars a day. for 11 people, times that by 11
