All in all, I can travel in Japan for about the same price as a I do in the U.S., maybe less.

If you want high prices, try Scandinavia, especially Norway, on for size. I'd go again in a heartbeat, but this time I'd be better prepared for the prices.
I'm at a different point on the price chain (higher end as opposed to middle) - and I agree 100% with what you say. We were in Stockholm last year - and the prices - especially when it comes to food - are enough to bring tears to your eyes - especially when it comes to so-called "mid-priced" places. And the people in Stockholm said the prices in Oslo were much worse than those in Stockholm (I've been in Oslo - but a long time ago). And New York - London - Paris - etc. - forget about it. Robyn

Following your link - I see that Mr. Doi now has a new website - and a new van as well. Robyn
