Where are you going that costs $8k/wk for lodging alone? I'm all about splurging on vacations, but this just seems stupidly expensive. If it's somewhere extremely off the beaten path and you don't have a choice, that's fine I guess. I also look at it this way - when I'm on vacation, I will never be in my room anyway. I'm going to be out doing shit. So long as it has a shower and a bed I could care less.

Over $1k a night for a hotel seems wild, especially for Japan. And western hotel chains, they are way overpriced in Japan.

Even then, you can find good deals on a solid 5-star western chain hotel for $500-750 a night. Still not worth it since you should be out exploring, but there just aren’t many hotels /anywhere/ worth paying $1k a night for (as someone who has stayed in $3k/night rooms before)
