Summary
58,902 yen was the average budget Japanese respondents set for summer holidays in 2026, up 1,618 yen from a year earlier and the first increase in three years.
45.7% cited high prices and a weaker yen as the main reason for spending more, while 31.8% said their budgets rose because they plan to travel.
Intage's June online survey covered 5,000 people aged 15 to 79 and asked about plans for the July 18-Sept. 30 holiday period.
Some respondents also said Middle East tensions and bear incidents in Japan were affecting their holiday plans, underscoring broader pressures on travel decisions.
