I stayed at the Drop-Inn hostel near Osaka Station to the north of the city. Very comfortable, clean and inexpensive. But yeah, a hostel.

Looks like I'm going to Tokyo next week for a work meeting.
It's near Shibuya, any decent-ish not taking the piss hotels anyone can recommend?

Booked a 14 day trip to coincide with a work thing, going over New Years which may not be ideal but fuck it (28th-11th). Anyone with an ideal 10-14 day itinerary and hotel/airbnb recs would be great.

That time of year is great for sales. This year, I was in Tokyo for the two weeks directly after new year's and all stores were on sale.

We stayed here in Kyoto:

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo (http://www.the-royalpark.jp/the/kyotosanjo/en/)

Below your budget. Felt like most non-temple things were at our doorstep. Couldn't really fault it.

Oshima island any good?

Got a few days between Tokyo and Kyoto, looking to get away from the city.

After suggestions to get some , slim-fitting Cuban collar shirts in Kyoto for not too much money?

Already bought a bunch of shirts kamakura but they only do linen.
