Get cash out in advance and carry with you. While transportation and accommodation are two of the biggest drains on finances, they also make it clear that eating out is often cheaper than in many other developed countries (and there is no tipping). It's good to see in the section on money correctly pointing out that although Japan is usually thought of as an expensive country, it is possible to travel on a budget with just a little planning. The rejuvenating effects of soaking in an onsen sounds like a great way to really appreciate the benefits of this pastime.
The authors recommend a stay in a luxurious ryokan, saying it can " seem like absolute heaven after a few days spent roughing it in the mountains". You don't have to rough it all the time though. If you are planning to use the huts, the authors suggest taking earplugs if you want a decent night's sleep, and be forewarned: huts take cash only.
