The rest are all sightseeing fee and souvenir fee that differs between people, but I always tell people that on an average, it should be around USD$150-200 all inclusive (Flight, hotel, food, etc etc etc)

Of course, if you go and live large, then its a totally different story...
That's living almost like a homeless person in Tokyo. I think capsule hotels start at about 5000yen. Business hotels are about 10,000. Normal hotels are even higher.

If you can eat three meals for $27 a day, at least two of them are from convenience stores or fast food. I'd budget 5000 yen so you can at least have some good dinners.
