Depends on where you want to stay -

Avoid Tokyo as much as possible everything there seems to cost 2-3 times more than other parts of Japan.
Stay at guest houses, around 3,000 to 5,000yen per night.
Eat supermarket take-a-ways, their much nicer and cheaper than the convenience store ones. If you go around 7pm to the supermarket there's always good discounts. Best food is in Coop Supermarkets, followed by Heiwado (well at least in Kansai area).
Plan your rail travel and buy a JR Pass before you leave.
Make friends with Japanese people and stay at their place, but remember to bring souvenirs, give some money for food, help out with the house work.
