As far as hotels I've never stayed in a hostel (I live here so no need), but capule hotels are lame to stay in unless you are totally drunk and just pass out. People are noisy and they are cramped. Budget at least 4000 yen a night for a room, or figure out your hostel situation well in advance.
You'll probably want to check out at least a few attractions while you are there (which cost 800-1500 yen each, depending), so give yourself about 5000 yen budget for sightseeing.
So if you can get a ticket for $1000, $250 for your room and board, $150 for food, and $60 for transportation, and $50 for sightseeing, $1,500 should just cover you, but be aware Japan is good at spending your money. I'd get together at least $2000 for a week trip and you'll be able to buy some cool shit to take home. If you have extra money in the end that's gravy, but running out of cash in a place like Japan sucks. Set your budget and exceed it by at least $300.
