I've stayed at some decent places for a little more than $80 a night. One place I've stayed in a few times has a good breakfast for $5 and all the free espresso you care to make.

The only thing I found it hard to budget for the first time I went to Tokyo was the transportation around the city. That can add up!

And it is true about the clothing. If you are on the short side and thin things will fit you, my 5'4" friend found out that Japan is his perfect off-the-rack country. When I went with two female friends only one of us could just barely fit into the largest women's clothing. We were all too tall, too busty and our shoulders too wide.
