Well, when I traded back in 2007 - 2008 through IB, it was around 300 Yen per round trip. I used IB's data feed to trade, but I think, I've used IQ feed for demo, as well. Not sure, IQ feed might have been for Taiwan STW. I'd rather trade STW, or HSI Mini, if I were you. Osaka Nikkei mini is good for swing trading.

Wow, 300 Yen does seem a bit ridiculous. No wonder you hated this instrument!
Why do you think it is not good for intraday trading? Liquidity is enormous, apparently close to the ES, and that should make for a great day trading instrument.
I'm not sure how the volatility looks like right now, but back then it was pretty much watching paint dry, and with high commission rates, it was a no win situation for me.
The CME mini Nikkei 225 product is not very tradable - very low liquidity. The Osaka Exchange product is highly liquid and is the real deal. As for deciding which product to trade, you should be looking at liquidity as one of the most critical features.
