I would say that it really depends what you consider a low, medium, or high budget.
For example "Accommodation Medium budget" is 8,000 - 15,000 yen per double room and night. In Tokyo you'd be looking at business hotels like APA, (maybe including breakfast). Do you consider business hotels as "medium budget" accommodation? Some people might say 4-star hotels are medium, and 5-star / luxury ones are high.
"Dinner Medium budget" is 1000 - 2500 yen per day ... similar quandary. I'd personally consider maybe up to 10000 yen as medium budget, up to 20000 as high, and those 30k-50k places as luxury.
