Question:
I will be staying in Japan for around 2 months and I want to know how much cash to bring with me. Housing will be payed for already.
Answer:
Depends on where you plan to be going, buying etc. You can get by for food for about 3000 yen a day or less if you want, and you can get a subway day pass for many city subways for about 1000 yen. And if you travel a lot, you can get a JR Rail Pass (need to get it before you go) and travel all over. See
www.japanrailpass.net for more info. For shopping it is up to you. A few hundred to over a grand - it depends on what you want. If you want to see typical prices in Japan, take a look at

Japan can be expensive but it doesn't have to be if you know where the deals are.
