Reaper G mentioned that everyone will have to book their own flights to Narita (and out). Airfare is not part of the tour package (as it was the last time).
You have to consider this. Suppose the tour will cost $2,700/person. Although the tour package is cheaper, airfare is not included.
The time you're going will be peak travel season (despite the un-Godly heat and humidity of Japan). Airfares for that time are generally $800-1,000 for a round-trip ticket to Narita (they go down to $500 during the non-peak time).
If you're lucky, you get a flight ticket for $800. Add that to the $2,700 for the tour package and you end up having to save (and pay) $3,500.
I really have to wonder if all these factors were thought through.
