I think it was yours or Housetek's post that I got the reccomendation from.
Do you think that $6000 would be alright for a month?

Well the way I like to think of it is like this...

You need three things in order to stay in Japan. (vacation)

1. Airplane ticket.
2. Housing
3. Money for food

Airplane ticket would cost somewhere along the lines of $900-$1,500 for an adult round-trip flight.

Sakura house charges on average about $500 a month. Yes. Very, very, very inexpensive.

And depending how fancy you eat, the price could range from $100 to sky-high figures.

Without spending anything on other that the three things above, you're looking at roughly $3000-$3,500 per month in Japan.

Might be different for others, but that's just how I have figured it.

If you have friends in Japan, stay with them. That takes care of the housing. If they're nice friends, they'll probably feed you. That takes care of the food.

Finding a friend to stay with would be my ideal situation, or possibly finding some amazing people while I'm there.

I definetely love these NOFX lyrics :]

Absolute shibari, cold noodles and hot sake
The mistress bar in Roppongi is the place
For Japanese hardcore, not the kind you’re
gonna find at the record store
Not the kind designed for the kind hearted

Do not pass go, do not get bail
Go directly to Osaka Jail
Where you get locked or drunk under the table

For just under 10,000 yen
You can visit hell and come back again
For the process of hurting and healing
Cake and candle wax dessert
It’s not fun ‘til someone gets hurt
Who’s the next to get hung from the ceiling

So if you want rewards and consequence
They got the cool and unusual punishments
Get on your knees for Japanese instruction
Rope and Cigarette burns, forget about any health concerns
This is pure assisted self-destruction
