I can't recall exact figures right now... but the way I figured things with my money, I can afford to take care of the essentials and still have 40-50 USD left every day for whatever. If I spend less, it will compound, etc. I believe that will be enough.

(This is on figures of 30/day avg for food (extra comes out of the above amount), 15/day avg transportation (+30 each way narita->tokyo tokyo->narita airport), and after lodging/plane/phone/possible insurance costs are subtracted)

Note that this is all averages, so of course it will fluctuate. I've also made note of total daily limits that I shouldn't cross without extra financial planning, so that should be fine as well. I'm pretty good with numbers (programmer), so if I play my cards right I think I'll be fine. Still makes me worry a bit, though. I guess it's just the fear of getting stranded, as I don't have many I can count on in the States to back me up financially if I'm in trouble.
