I never been but i would tell you what i would go see when i go. I would see the Hide muesuem.

\if there's freedom to be had in that clear blue sky
I wouldn't care if these wings I'm so proud of were torn off
I began running, frantically aiming for the sky
I spread my wings and flew away, and the spot where I fell
was 'freedom'.
with a wonderful family, and wonderful friends
these were the best days of my life, if I'm reborn
let's meet again...

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 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
