About how much money is a school trip to japan (flight and hotel)


About how much money is a school trip to japan (flight and hotel)?
I'm in the Japanese club in my high school and we all want to go to Japan. But with the high gas prices its practically impossible. There is about 10-20 people in the club so are there any discounts available? About how much money would it be per person? Do you have any tips or suggestions for a good fundraiser? Also how much money should we carry for food and miscellaneous items? Thank you! sorry i forgot to mention we are in the US and we want to stay for about 1 week to 2 weeks correction: **we want to stay for about 1 or 2 weeks**

first off, how long do you plan to stay? where are you coming from? chances are if there are any discounts its not much..plan for it to be 2,000+ for each, though depending on how good you fundraising goes...and for the food and miscellaneous items, plan a good 200-500, you do want to bring home souvinirs right? food shouldnt be much though...

my suggestion is to stay at a hostel, they are much cheaper than hotels and the rates start from $50 per night and you can all sleep in the same room. the flight will be at least $1050 and up if you plan in advance or almost $2000. you should visit your nearest sta travel agent and let them help you with your travel if you plan to go with a group of 12 or more, usually they give out discounts especially when it's students traveling. when i was in high school, we usually had a plain old bakery sale or we would all make our own dishes and sell a portion for $1. Finally, if you want to have a good time here, you definitely need shopping, travel, food money, japan is so expensive and i use to live in new york city. you need at least another $1000 if you plan to stay for a week. you may want to save a cool $3000 for everything and bring walking shoes
