When I was there, I regularly ate for $30 per day or less, though I wasn't in Tokyo. I got a bowl of good ramen, donburi, or yakisoba for $5-8, a full teishoku meal for $8-12. Drinks are always overpriced in a restaurant, so just drink tea or water with the meal (which are free) and get a soda, milk, iced coffee, beer, etc from either a vending machine or supermarket (where it'll be 1/2 to 1/3 the price it is in the restaurant).

Small business hotel rooms (not in Tokyo) were $40-60 in my experience.
