I don't get this thing about Maison de Julietta. I went for lolita and the only thing I did was shop and go to Disneyland. I don't like Misako and I don't like to take pictures in lolita. I just want to collect rare pieces and hunt for bargains at thrift stores.

1 main piece at AP is 300 dollars. Most of the main pieces worth buying at closet child are 120 and up. A lot of the popular AP items are at or over retail. You buy 4-5 main pieces, some blouses, a couple pairs of shoes, and a handful of jewelry. That's 2000 dollars gone easy.

I'm confused at all the people in the thread saying a few grand is enough. Do you mean only for lolita related shopping?

That's not even including the cost of subway passes, Shinkansen, Airbnbs, entrance tickets, meals, snacks, and drinks. We also spent a lot on knick-knacks like playing gachapon, purikura, arcades, and the like. I traveled with my boyfriend, we stayed in Airbnbs, bought rail passes, and ate a lot of conbini and famiresu food. It's just that doing all the tourist shit uses up a lot of money very fast compared to just living there normally. Disneyland 3 day pass $350, Kobe beef dinner $250, Tokyo to Kyoto Shinkansen $300, sushi at Tsukiji $200. It adds up quick.

Some tips tho
Sky tree is overrated and costs 1500 yen for admission. Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is free and wonderful. It's close to Shinjuku central park and Kumamoto shrine which is also great and free. Get a point card at CC, especially if you're travelling in a group. It'll fill up real quick and give you great discounts. Also check back at different CCs for new stock.
