Among some of the destinations that I have been to recently:

JAPAN - is generally an expensive country. That said, it is much cheaper than it used to be and the farther you get from the traditional Anglo comfort zone (with some exceptions) the cheaper it is. If you insist on eating in a high-end hotel restaurant because the menu is in English and the staff speak it relatively well, you will pay very high prices. If you go to a little local hole in the wall and point at dishes as they go by, you can do much better. Transportation is expensive but there are deals to be had.

PORTUGAL - when compared to the rest of the Euro zone, I found Portugal relatively inexpensive. Definitely less than Italy, Germany, France where I normally travel.

TURKEY - was surprisingly expensive. I was traveling with a Greek who found the prices in Ankara high compared to Athens. Now, if you get off the beaten track, prices will probably be significantly lower.
