How much time do you want to spend there? How much traveling and where, besides Niigata, would you want to go. What type of foods interest you? What level of hotel can you consider as acceptable? Lots of variables are involved in the answer. Suffice to say, if you just went to Niigata, koi hunting, and you live in California, you could go for around $1500.00 including airfare, hotel, food (not including high end restaurants but good noodle houses and maybe even a little sushi/saki), and your train and car transportation. The hotels you stay in are not that expensive. Now, staying in Tokyo or Kyoto or Osaka, now that can cost you quite a bit more. So will the food and sightseeing adventures, depending on your mode of transportation. You could easily spend $3000-$4000 for a week in those places-and that's per person!
