Here was my itinerary (2 weeks) Total cost not including JDM parts I bought....1200 not including ticket (I was coming back from china on a work visit). The 1200 included my "All Japan" JR railpass. Only stayed @ hostels and ryokans! This was during late july/august last year. They have a great website in english to figure out how to use the railpass to get between places.

I can give you info on the hostels and places I stayed...VERY cheap. I HIGHLY recommend planning your weekend to hit up any of the "events" on the weekends. You will not look at our slipshod stuff back here the same.
