How much would a bottle of pop cost in Japan in both yen and US Dollars?

Question

I'm going to Japan and I am trying to get an idea for the price of things in Japan.

Answer 1

A can of pop costs 120 yen from a vending machine, but in a supermarket, you can pay as low as 50 yen.

A 500ml bottle costs 150yen from a vending machine, but around 100yen from a supermarket.

The exchange rate is about $1.00-119yen, but with fees it is more like $1.00 = 123yen

Arcade games cost 100-200yen to play. In my day they cost only 25-50 cents. is that day gone?

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Mostly Japan is about the same price as here. There are places to get things cheap and places (like NY, Chicago...) where everything is more expensive. Tokyo, they say, is the most expensive city in the world. I lived near Kyoto, Japan for about a year. I could find reasonably priced places to eat and buy clothes and necessities. Be aware though that even in a small town or a smaller restaurant that spending $100 for a meal is not unheard of. But you can eat in mall cafes for about the same price as here.

Answer 3

♡That would all depend on the current yen to dollar rate, where in Japan you are and what size/kind pop you buy.
Really!(*^o^*)
For example, I can get a 160ml can of Pepsi NEX for 50 yen at the market 3 minutes from my house. That's about 58 cents today. A 1.5L of diet Pepsi is 158 yen at the market today. That would be about $1.75.

(Big difference in size there!↑)
The vending machines near my place have 100 yen drinks (It's tough competition around here, other areas are 120～150 yen). That's about $1.16 for a can of Coke today.
So you see, it kind of depends!(*^o^*)
Hope this helps!♡

Answer 4

Konnichiwa,

Let's say that bottle of pop here in the U.S. costs $2.00
That same bottle of pop in Japan might cost about 235 Japanese yen.

1 U.S. dollars = 117.37 Japanese yen

Oh, and btw...Tokyo and Osaka have just been declared the most expensive cities on the planet (again).
