With India's steady economic development, prices are rising year by year.

India is 329 yen and Japan is 390 yen, with Japan being only about 151 TP3T cheaper. The difference is surprisingly small.
3. comparison of economic growth rates between India and Japan
Now that we know the price of a Big Mac, the next step is to compare the economic growth rates of India and Japan (Source: World Economic Netbook).
Since 1991, when Japan's bubble burst, India's economic growth rate has been higher than that of Japan. India experienced several severe lockdowns due to the coronavirus epidemic, and its economy declined for a time, but has since made a dramatic recovery.
3. Trends in Inflation Rates
With economic growth comes inflation, and prices for goods and services are rising (source: World Economy Netbook). The cost of labor and gasoline are also rising rapidly.
Exchange rate
The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and the Japanese yen has also seen changes (source: World Economic Netbook).
In 2019, before the coronavirus epidemic, the Japanese yen was 1.51 per rupee; as of October 2022, it is 1.78 per rupee. The Japanese yen has weakened.

Summary
How was it?
India is experiencing inflation due to its steady economic growth. Prices are still low compared to Japan, but are rising every year.
Furthermore, the Japanese yen has been very weak recently.
And if you want the same level of sanitation, comfort, and safety as in Japan, it will cost you a good deal more.
Some people who have an inexpensive image of India may feel that the cost of travel is surprisingly high.
But if you wish, you can also do it cheaply as per the image of India? You can also do it as cheaply as you wish.
For example, a hotel, but if the room is not clean, has no windows, no air conditioning, no hot water, mosquitoes and insects hanging around, and you can't sleep because of the noise outside, you can stay there for 1000 yen.
But would you stay in such a hotel in Japan?
A room without a window is not recognized as a living room under the Fire Defense Law in Japan, right?
In the event of a fire, you cannot escape immediately.
We want our clients to "get to know the real India" with the standard comfort and safety of Japanese people.
We do not want them to return home with a bad image or bad memories of India.
Our labor costs are also increasing to ensure that we have reliable and competent guides and drivers.
But we are doing our best in our corporate efforts without cutting labor costs to satisfy our customers.
We then create an original trip tailored to each customer's needs.
We do not take you to a restaurant where you can get a margin.
We carry out travel plans from the customer's point of view.
We would appreciate it if you would not base your travel expense estimates on price alone, but rather consider the various risks involved.
I will continue to introduce my favorite country, India, to all of you in Japan!
Thank you for your cooperation.
