Yen yen yen

Brit student intending on going to Japan in September.
Is it worth the money? Where can i go that is cheapish and
could i get away with a ú1000 budget for two weeks?
Also, where to visit? Not much knowledge of Japan!!
Any advice is great and welcome as i need to convince my
parents and myself about doing this now.
Thanx.

   Taxi into town from Tokyo Airport is 180 pounds, train is 8
   pounds ! (Sorry, I'm in Kuala Lumpur and they don't have
   pound signs on the keyboard !)

   skip tokyo, go to kansai (osaka, kyoto, kobe). you'll save
   money if thats your thing, and the region is more relaxed.
