Total Estimate
The committee has worked hard at keeping costs down, but this is a stay in an expensive country. We estimate the total cost for the days of the event to be between ¥100,000 and ¥140,000, with the main variables being whether you are sharing a room, whether you want a forest or mountain room, choices on outings and meals.
