And by cheaply i mean relatively cheap. I have always heard that Japan is very expensive to visit.

It's really not. Unless you want an all service trad. Ryokan for the experience that is. For the small budget there's always youth hostels: http://www.jyh.or.jp/english/index.html also: http://www.travellerspoint.com/budge...en-co-104.html

The most expensive really is the flight. The internet yields so many pages of budget traveling in Japan, it's only a tiny bit of typing away! (google is your friend). Also you can find very cheap food in the less touristy areas, again I shall point you toward google or travelwiki (http://wikitravel.org/en/Japan).
