Even for my best friend's and sister's wedding I spent less than 100 dollars on the gifts.

American gift culture and Japanese gift culture are very different. There are regional differences, of course, as well as familial ones... but if a man I didn't know spent that much on me for college graduation, I would feel very indebted.

I think the only person that bought me a graduation present was my dad. Other than that, it is not expected, I think. Especially from a non-family member. So whatever you choose will be more than most people give her.
