Some friends and I want to travel to Japan for the summer, as a senior graduation trip of sorts. I've got my hands on some friend passes with Delta(The pity sighs, I hear them) for $400 bucks each, and we plan on leaving in late June, just before the Japanese Summer Break. I've made plans on getting a place through the Tokyo Craiglist, but this seems unreliable. So, /trv/ advice, recommendations, what would my expenses be, recommendations on accommodations for up to 8 people, etc?

How about hiring out an apartment?

If you made plans through the Tokyo craigslist, I'm going to assume you're going to want to live in Tokyo or nearby, right?

It's expensive here, and it's difficult to find an apartment if you want something other than the usual gaijin guest house (though a few of those are apparently okay). Do you plan on eating out all the time, or preparing your own meals? The latter can easily cost more if you're not careful; an apple can be anywhere from 88 yen-128 yen. Good fish can be expensive.

How many months will you be here? I recommend that you get a cell phone, because otherwise it will be difficult to have a social life here.
