I', starting to plan my trip to Japan nexdt year, based around Tokyo. Air fares are remarkably cheap, and I would like to stay inexpensively. Has anyone tried the homestay option, or the hostels, or any other similar cheaper accommodation? Any recommendations will be much appreciated. Thanks.
Budget hotels in Japan are called 'bussinessmens hotels'. I stayed in a great one in Tokyo called Asia Kaikan (Asia Center of Japan) asiacenter.or.jp/eng/index.h... Ask for the older wing for really cheap rates. Full details on my Japan pages.

Haha I also have start to do my planning and budgeting for my 2010 Japan trip. If you are looking for cheap accommodation there is a few choice. But we usally stay at Toyoko Inn hotel chain. They have alot of hotel around Japan and a few in Korea. And usually their hotel located very near to the train station. You can also get cheeper rate in other hotel or inn, if your room does not have an attached bathroom. We treasure our bathroom so we don't mind paying extra. You have to calculate the cost of accomodation and transport. No used getting a cheep rate at the hotel but far from the city because then you have to pay extra for transport.
