100k yen - 200k yen should be enough for a shopping spree and going around.
Average dinner per meal would be ranging from 100 yen to 1000 yen, depending on the places.
2 people would be 2000 yen+ maximum.

Which area in Central Tokyo are you planning to stay at?
There are lots of shopping areas in central, from Shibuya all the way up to Ginza.

In a way, why not the 2 night extra just stay at your gf place instead of a hotel?

i has return'd

Yup, just came back this evening

As tanoshi and clemong had answered your question, I'll let in you 2 tips:
1. If its a JR pass that you want (as you didn't mention discount pass or anything similar), added to that you prefer to have 1 ticket than to buy again and again, buy the SUICA card at the JR ticket booth. Its like a reload card (not a discount card), which means for example if you buy a 2000 Yen SUICA Card, you can use it at any JR station with the same of payments for the travel, but only with 1 card (until the 2000 yen is finished, and you have to reload again at the ticket booth).

2. Press the English language button at any of the JR station ticket booth; almost 99% of them have it
GOGOGO!

Several things to do while you are at Mt Fuji:
- Snap pictures and videos (bring extra battery and memory storage devices if you want).
- Take a rock sample from Mt Fuji high places. It was an active volcano a long time ago, so just take the rocks as a free souvenir.
- Write a postcard message and send it back to your house address. It's your official proof that you had been to Mt Fuji (there's a post office there).

My tour package wil be going to asakusa, ginza & shinjuku this October. Any recommendation on food or interesting places over there?

Also planning to try the following food (unique food fr Japan) :- Any advice on the cost or place to have them?

1)Kobe Beef / Matsuzaka Beef  / Yamagata's  / Hida beef / Yonezawa beef/Mishima/ Ikeda beef. ANy idea how much is a good portion steak of the above should cost?

2)Kumamoto Horse meat. (hehehe.. still not sure dare try or not)

3)Kegani - Hairy Crab (is this the same as Shanghai's hairy crab -"Da CHa Xie")

4)Akkeshi's oysters,

5)Saroma's scallops,

6)sea urchin (uni)

7)ika-meshi, rice-stuffed squid

8)matsutake mushroom

9) Karasumi

At least if know the cost now, then when the tour guide take us, they won't haf opportunity to overcharge us.
Any depachika  or department store basement food court, featuring tiny specialist stalls dishing up local specialties  with  hangaku or 3-wari  to get a bargain within ginza & shinjuku?

urm.. if u have the cash.. u could try michelin's 3 star rated restaurant... definitely not for the poor like me

U would not wan to know where lar... michelin .. unless u r the type who fly first class to japan... hahaha
I'm not for sure.
