Do you know the band X japan? well he was the guitarist of them but he killed himself or so they think. and its a musuem dedicated to him.

Kanto region:
anime and manga = akiba
shopping/night life = shibuya/harajuku/yokohama
adult entertainment/night life = shinjuku
onsen/cultures = hakone/nikko

Kansai region:
shopping/night life/adult entertainment=osaka
culture/tradition= kyoyo/nara

you can probably cover all these places in 12 days.... 5K US is more than enough... hope this help

5k for 12 days?!

Living it i up aren't you?

5K is possible... if you eat at restaurant for every meal and you pickup a lot of souvenir...

My previous trip was about 7-8K in 14 days, including plane ticket and accommodation , food and all... but i did spend a great deal in souvenir and electronics

5K is not really a lot in 12 days, considering the high cost of living in Japan. I should say it's just adequate if you want to enjoy your trip thoroughly. I myself already spent 2K in 5 days just in Tokyo (including air tics and accommodation), but I have no regrets
