japan is even more expensive than usual with the strength of the yen compared to other currencies since the economic downturn. i've been here nearly 2 yrs now, and since i arrived it shifted from 240 yen / 1 gbp, down to 120 yen / 1 gbp. recently has recovered to around 150 yen, but still it makes a huge difference.
all the above advice is great. definitely take the bus from the airport. much cheaper, and easier in my opinion. http://www.limousinebus.co.jp/en…
maybe check out travelling on night bus to some your destinations. i've never done it, but heard it's much cheaper and not so bad.
i imagine 2500 usd will disappear very fast tho!
