Ride Guide
How is the budget calculated?
The budget basically consists of motorcycle rent, fuel, highway tolls, food, accommodation and parking.
Rent
This is the most accurate to work out in advance. Take a look at our rental calculation table (see Rent and fees).
Fuel costs
Japan's oil price (regular oil) hovers around 160 yen a litre. Please use Google Maps to approximate your riding distance before calculating.
Highway fees
Expressway tolls in Japan are calculated based on the distance from the entrance to the exit. You can use a highway calculator (such as NEXCO West Japan or NEXCO Central Japan), setting it to use ETC and a light automatic vehicle. Keep in mind that tolls vary at night, on holidays and during peak hours.
Food
It depends on what you eat… from a bento box of about 40 Hong Kong dollars to conveyor-belt sushi of about 80. If you stay at a hot spring inn with half board, breakfast and dinner are usually included.
Accommodation
Business hotels cost about 300–500 Hong Kong dollars a night, and hot spring inns with two meals about 700–2000 a night. To find out whether an inn offers parking facilities, please contact us.
