Japan was super expensive 30 years ago when I lived there and had the perspective of a broke student. But the prices in yen haven't changed in those 30 years, and prices in dollars have gone down slightly. Don't you wish you could pay 90's prices today? You can, just go to Japan!

You and I should swap stories sometime. I tell my kids that when I lived there thirty years ago, also as a broke student, that I would load up on pickled ginger when I went out to sushi with friends because it was free (along with the warm towel and the bill.)
