But why fly all the way to Japan to eat at a convenience store twice a day. More than once I have had to bail out friends who budget like that, but then, just can't eat nigiri and premade sandwiches twice a day and end up spending their money on real food, or a t-shirt and go broke.

I always advise make a reasonable budget, then bring that plus 1/3. Expenses ALWAYS come up you don't expect. If you can't afford to bring that much, Japan may not be the holiday destination for you.
