I plan to take a year or so off in my career and just stay in Japan. My question is how much would i need to save up so that i can cover the cost of a studio apartment for a year? (Food and stuff will come separately.)

If you're an American, you can only stay 90 days on a visitor visa.And it can only be used twice in a 12 month period.

You can't live in Japan without visa no matter how much money you have. You usually need working or student visa to live in Japan. For working visa, you have to get a job offer from a Japanese company. But you can't look for a job in Japan without a visa. So you need it before you enter Japan. For student visa, you have to be admitted to a Japanese college. You need to pay tuition and living cost for 4 years. It could be about $80,000.

No matter what your circumstances are, be prepared. The cost of living is VERY high.
