Dated cost examples
Six dated, itemised examples from 2027-01-19 to 2027-01-25: 6 nights and 7 days for two adults sharing one room, which is 14 person-days. Prices are as observed in October 2026, cover ground costs only, and are not multiplied out to other party sizes or trip lengths.
Dated planning illustration for two adults sharing one room, 19–25 January 2027: seven days and six nights, flights excluded. Hotel prices are public room-table observations from 2 October 2026, not checkout-reconciled quotes or held rooms. Breakfast, water, drinks, activities and marked transport lines are MTC gross estimates, not supplier quotes or free attractions. Not bookable, not a quote and not an annual or calculator default; do not scale it linearly to a different party.
Totals carry calculated conditional fee reserves (hotel taxes and, where marked, conditional meal covers); they are shown with the subtotal before reserves and are not final charges or maximums. Provider headline includes taxes/charges, but the final itemized bill and additional fees are unreconciled. No duplicated VAT. No separate accommodation levy quantified for these city hotels. Kobe bath tax applies to qualifying mineral-bath use, not automatically to every city hotel stay; Arima bathing is outside this model. Unknown additional hotel charges are not zero. Lunch and dinner use Sake to Sakana to Nanji to Watashi, EKIZO Kobe Sannomiya as dated named-menu price benchmarks, distinct from itinerary recommendations, counted once. They are not a promise of daily opening, January availability or a reservation, not a city average and not a seven-day dining plan; dish names are not dietary or allergen certification. A conditional meal-cover reserve of 380 JPY per person is held for each of the 28 sittings; whether it applies at lunch is unresolved, so it is a reserve, not an asserted charge. Menu charges: All selected prices in cl tax; donotadd 10% again. Otoshi 380 posted without lunch/dinner exemption; conservative 380x28 sitting spending confirmation, not asserted actual charge every lunch. Rice not included in 900 fishprice. Not Kobe beef benchmark. No electronic money/QR, tenant closures possible, menu not January guarantee. Every total shows its reserve and the subtotal before it. Each example is headed by its hotel's name; the order follows room price, not quality.

Four singles replace upstream JPY 400 allowance. Confirm January fare and hotel onward transfer. Shin-Kobe shinkansen station and Kansai KIX are different connections; no airport ferry included. Six-night hotel samples are a comparison baseline, not a required trip length.
