Of course, this depends where you re traveling. However, assuming you re sticking to typical tourist places, like Tokyo or Kyoto (and assuming you re trying to save money), then I would say budget $70 or so per night at a hotel. You can look at a site like http://www.itcj.jp/ to see some example prices. There are, of course, cheaper options like youth hostels, but that would take pre-arranging on your part. Depending on what you like to eat, you might budget $20-$30 a day for a typical meal. Food prices are much the same as in America. If you re going to go to a grocery store, then you can figure it will be less, but if you re going to be eating out every meal, then it will be more. Travel costs will depend widely on where you want to go. There is excellent public transporation, and I imagine you ll be using the train for most travel. http://www.hyperdia.com/cgi-english/hype... is an excellent website that can help you figure out costs if you know the place of departure and the destination. (This site is also useful to help you see if a JR Pass is the right decision or not...a JR pass for a whole month is very expensive, and you migth find that it s cheaper not to get one...) I would say that budgeting $100 a day (plus additional transportation costs and entrance fees) would be a good idea.
I recommend that you get JR Pass before you come to Japan.
The suggestion for a JR Rail Pass is a good one, but you really need to have some long trips that will require using the bullet trains to justify the cost. You could probably find business hotels for around $100/night. I d add in at least $30/day in food, $50 would allow for some nicer dinners. Some of the organized tours are pretty good, at least people who have visited me seemed to have really enjoyed them. They can cost around $100 or less for a day trip, but my cousin took a trip to Mt. Fuji, traveling through Tokyo both going and coming and the cost of the trip was surprisingly cheap.
