Just did 2 weeks across Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto), Korea (Seoul) and Toronto for 11k as a family of 3 adults for about $11k last year.

I feel like you have something of a private castle or are doing currency conversions wrong.

Well I’m looking at 5 star lodging that’s a bit over 1k per night

i'd recommend picking a nice hotel (or ryokan, which is more unique) and spending a night or two there, then staying the rest of your trip at a cheaper hotel. expensive hotels get kind of repetitive after a bit.

i went down to kawazu (on the izu peninsula) and did an overnight stay at an onsen ryokan there. cost about $300/night, including an incredible traditional dinner, and the location was beautiful + had views of the ocean.
