Hey all, this will be my first trip to Japan upcoming for May 31st – June 10th and i have some concerns over financials. I am bringing a group of 4 with me and am paying for our hotels flights and activities.
We would like to do things like UNS (Osaka) and a good bit of exploring (Kyoto) and shopping (Landing in NRT)
Flights and hotels i estimate $11,500 CAD. Is it reasonable to think 16k-18k is enough to cover this trip and have some breathing room for activities?
