Do all day tours include admission fees for gardens, etc.?

Looking at a tour of Tokyo prior to our cruise and I was surprised that many of the admission fees for gardens were not included in the tour cost.    Is it normal to pay $200 per person and still have extra costs?  I realize most of the tours in Japan are expensive, but I didn’t know if this is the norm or not. It does not give any indication of what the admission cost is so I guess I will have to look up each garden.  When you’re taking a large family, it’s nice to know the total cost ahead of time. I don’t want to be surprised.   Thank you in advance.

The tour itinerary will specify what is included. In general, Transportation fees, Entrance fees, Lunch, and Other personal expenses are not included. Most garden admission offer seniors [65+] discount, and must show your passport.

 

Japan escorted tours are expensive, supply and demand determine the price. If one who are a bit adventurous, and willing to do a little homework, then the cost is lesser.
