how much money wuld u bring if u went to japan?

I would budget for 100 US dollars a day. This way if you spend less, it will help on the days you need to spend a bit more.

Over two thousand just to be on the safe side. I would probably try to plan everywhere I was going to be staying too. If I was doing, I would have everything planned out from where I was going, what I wanted to see and where I was sleeping. But I realize that is fairly difficult to do.

I'm going to Tokyo in less than two months- it's my second time there.
The hotelreservation is made and paid for from home, but even so I still bring about 2000 usd's worth of jap.yen.
I go there to shop and explore and eat- but if you don't plan to shop, I actually think Tokyo is cheap!!!
Great food for little money if you like sushi, tempura and soba/udon!
If you are into rollercoasters you MUST try the thunder dolphin at Tokyo dome!
Enjoy!

When I first arrived in Tokyo I needed temporary accommodation for the first month. I called a foreign support service called ESLC and they arranged everything for me. They collect a percentage from the appartment owner so I didn't need to pay an introduction fee or anything. They also gave me a lot of free advice on visas etc. Everyone there speaks English so if you don't speak Japanese that's no problem. Even if you don't take their accommodation they will still give you advice so it's worth giving them a call.

Their office is in Ikebukuro. The number I have for them is +81-3-6909-4120.
I cant remember the company email address but you can contact Mimura san at tk.springdays_sakura@kasutei.com (that's the mail address on the business card she gave me).

Anyway, have a great time in Tokyo!
