Sasuke has camera men, course testers, 100 people they need to be there on time, the course itself, and much more.
How much exactly does Sasuke cost with all of this and all the video they take?

Not sure but it's in the hundreds of thousands of dollars USA I know that. Just remembering offhand about Nagano feeling bad that no one was getting to the final knowing how much money was paid to even build the dang thing. Offhand I can't remember how expensive it was but it was in the 10's of thousands USA for the tower alone. Can't imagine how expensive the rental for all the cranes for multiple days (since it takes over a week to build Sasuke).

I knew it was very high but I didn't think it was in the hundred thousands. |

It's funny that they re-ensured "access denied" to the final again recently.

All things considered I suspect Sasuke is still very profitable

This is going to sound bad, but Sasuke never looked like a high-cost production. All the obstacles were well done, but the fact that construction scaffolding is used and is clearly visible kind of cheapens it. However, given that they have to assemble and disassemble the entire set in a span of like 3 weeks, it's understandable that it looks slightly cheap.
It's extremely uneconomical, but I wish they could have a permanent place for Sasuke where they could build permanent structures and obstacles. This will never happen seing as Sasuke is only twice a year, however.
As for the cost, I have no idea. I would guess $100,000 to $200,000.

I agree with Arsennette, I always thought it was at least $100,000 but could be a few hundred thousand. The construction team is a large team of people, to get those people working a job like this costs tons of money, I mean if you take all the courses for just 1 Sasuke, thats easily the equivalent of building a multiple story building(minus fixtures and you know... walls). That is where the real cost of this comes from, but then add in materials and inevitably overtime costs and your looking at a small fortune every episode. Though I bet the Sasuke building team is on special contract to be the "official" building team for Sasuke every time so I wouldn't doubt that in exchange for constant, steady work, they probably offer their services at somewhat of a bulk discount. But not enough to keep the costs below the hundreds of thousands.

I wouldn't be surprised if they had to bribe a few people to keep them from spoiling the results for each tournament as well... |

Doesn't mean he can't use shift to capitalize the first word in each sentence.
