The short answer
Excluding flights, 4 days 3 nights in Tokyo with two sharing a room costs roughly NT$6,700 (budget), NT$12,500 (mid-range), NT$22,000 (comfortable) per person (Taiwan dollars). The biggest differences are hotels and meals: hotels are estimated from this site's official-site price bands at NT$2,500 / 4,500 / 8,000 per room per night, and meals from a combination of average eating-out prices in Tokyo's wards for 9/2026 from Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. Peak season and holiday rates can be 2–3 times the off-season starting price; before you go, plug in your own numbers in the Trip cost estimator.

Hotels: estimated from the price band on hotels' official websites
This site's Tokyo hotel data is split into three bands by price on each hotel's official booking system: $ about NT$3,000 or less a night, $$ about NT$3,000–6,000, $$$ about NT$6,000 or more (2 people, 1 room; Taiwan dollars). The estimate uses the midpoint of each band, NT$2,500, NT$4,500 and NT$8,000, times 3 nights divided by 2 people.
Examples checked on official sites: Super Hotel Asakusa ($) lowest ¥12,320 on 2027/1/20 (weekday, 2 people, 1 room) and ¥20,600 on 2026/11/18; The Gate Hotel Kaminarimon by HULIC ($$) lowest ¥24,424 on 2027/1/20 and ¥34,926 on 2026/11/18. Peak season in month 11 can be 2–3 times the starting price, and holidays raise prices too, so check your actual dates.
