$500 will do. ticket not included.
Depending what you mean by a good trip. Traveling in the fall might be a bit more expensive. You can find affordable ryokans, inns and hotels. Japan s expensive, true but not as expensive as most people make it. You can manage with under/ about JPY 10 000 per day. There s a book I found quite useful: TRAVEL BUDGET: JAPAN by by Ian L. McQueen. It has lots of tips and useful info.
japan is worth visiting, the food is excellent. having some knowledge in Japanese language will make your stay easier. the food and accomodation are not so expensive. you can find hostel from 20 euro are you can have a Ryokan for about 50 euro. when and where will you travel

Yes, there are hostels and cheap hotels in Japan. Please check the details in the link quot;Life in Japanquot; of the following site. http://jobdine.com/japan
Yes, there are hostels. There are also bed and breakfast (ryokan, minshoku) where you stay kinda like in someone s house and they might include breakfast and/or dinner. So it might be a good value but I m a cheap skate when it comes to travel so I just hostel it, eat out cheap and/or cook at the hostel. If you have any contacts at all in Japan (or can start making some), then maximize it by having them give you a brief tour or crash at their place. How much you want to see/do etc. changes the costs. If you can get a flight from a major airport near your house to a major airport in Japan (Tokyo or Osaka), then you might be able to find a cheap flight in the off season. If you stay only in that city in Japan, the trains are fairly cheap. If you want to see more of Japan, then you might want to be a rail pass from JR. You have to buy this overseas. If you travel far on rail, then it s an excellent deal. Travelling with others only reduces your costs for hotels (not hostels so much) if you travel in even numbers. Japanese really don t charge by person for hotel rooms, just for the room and it fits 2 people so you gotta split into pairs. We slept 4 in a hotel room so they charged us like we had 2 rooms! We didn t save at all--we should ve asked for 2 rooms. Osaka is probably the cheapest big city for accommodations. Osaka is very business oriented so they have these cheap business men hotels that are like hostels without kitchens. We stayed at one and there was no private restroom but there was one private shower (otherwise it s public baths). They included a simple breakfast so it was a great deal. There s a hostel in Kyoto that is like $9 per night for dorms, the cheapest bed in all Japan. Really it depends on where you re going for specific advise but I think Japan is definitely something that can be done on a budget. Just remember that your plane ticket is gonna hurt your wallet the most. Tokyo is very friendly if you don t know Japanese because a lot of tourist attractions can be visited off of the Yamanote-sen loop line train and that line has tv screens inside the car trains with the stops in Japanese and English and how many minutes until the next stop. If you miss your stop, get off, get the train in reverse. Never lose your train ticket in Japan because you need it to exit. If you don t have it, you pay the maximum fare to exit. There are people who try to cheat the train fares but I would advise in general to not break laws in a foreign country. A lot of signs for places are also in roman letters so you can read them like you can read this sentence. There s also tons of guide books and web sites devoted to tourism in Japan and people who ve posted online how they travelled cheaply. The more research you do before you go, the cheaper your trip can be. Plus you can always post more questions here. Just learn a few phrases before you, write them down, print out some maps (especially to hostels since most people don t know where they are, especially taxi drivers). Remember, no tipping in Japan and the prices stated often already include the tax.
