For overnight stay you could try couchsurfing (i´m not sure how many are there in Japan) CouchSurfing - Site Down Message or Free Accommodation world wide through Hospitality Exchange - Hospitality Club
If you intend to stay more than 2 weeks at a place and want to safe money you could try wwoofing WWOOF Japan (this will probably take more effort and time, but end up giving you 2 extra weeks in a Japanese Home/Farm/Inn for free (you will work some Hours a day for Food and Accomodation, check out some off the offers).
Well thats as far as i got till now for cheap travel / Room. Some stuff may take some more time, but you may consider it interesting, thats why i posted this stuff. I will be going to Japan for 1 year Working Holiday, so im collecting usefull link right now

I've done some research I will definitely be using the couchsurfing resourse. Seems like the most reliable resource. It looks awesome and much better than working at the hostel idea that I had which is useless unless I sign a 1 month contract to work in one location. I may even stay longer in Japan and travel more extensively throughout the country thanks to the couchsurfing resource since I don't have to worry about accommodation costs.
