The reason for the frugal living is just because we'd like to save as much money as we can lol, at least to spend on having fun, since a decent amount will end up going towards the ticket and lodging.

I have seen people here, and in my own personal experience go through this. The thing is, without a language base and a pretty full schedule bad things can start to happen after a couple weeks. That tiny room you are sharing can get REALLY damn small, especially if your roomie snores, farts, etc. in his sleep. Easy to put up with for a week or two, but nerves start to get frayed after that. I know two inseparable friends that thought spending two months touring Japan together was the best idea in the world. They have not spoken since that trip. Every annoying habit, from playing drums with chopsticks to whistling as they walk is magnified 100 times when in such a foreign situation. "What do you wanna do today?" is going to become a mantra of frustrations, and compound that with the hot and humid summers, which I assume is the time you would go.
Time your trip so you leave Japan wanting more, not wanting to get out.
