I'm planning for my trip for Japan. Hoping things will open up more normally by November 2022, but I'm also considering Hanami Season 2023 if one can visit without the guided tours at that point in time.
I'm trying to plan for a budget (adding cushion to my travel buckets), and I'm curious how inflation is looking right now.
Everything in the US is eye-wateringly more expensive than normal, and the government is trying to slow down the crazy 5-8% inflation.
How is Japan's inflation looking right now? Japan seems to still have a loose monetary policy. I was last in Japan in March/ April 2018 and things weren't extremely expensive if you knew how to spend wisely.
Mostly looking at basic living things like food at restaurants, transit, accommodations, etc.
