The weaker Japanese yen benefits travelers from the U.S. as they are able to get around 104 yen per dollar exchanged.

But, the weaker yen can be a double-edged sword as it increases some costs to make up the difference.

Under the price hike, the cost of a Tokyo-Osaka one-way ticket aboard Japan's number one airline will rise from ¥24,600 to ¥26,800.
