So if I budget $500 for the remaining 30days for transport ($17 a day), I still have $3000 for the rest of the time for food and souvenirs. What do you think about that?
In case you were wondering, I'm not in Japan already. I leave for Japan on December 1st and come back to Australia on 27th February.
Also, do you think it being winter while I am there will make any difference as to what I have to budget for?

Even if all your transportation is covered, I don't think 3500 for 90 days is enough. I feel like I am constantly opening my wallet over there, and it is easy to spend 300 dollars without even thinking. If you don't like to drink alcohol you may have a shot.
