I’m going to be staying at a girls house who i’ve been seeing for a month or two soon, i live in Tokyo and her Osaka and im staying for just under a week, i know Gift giving is a big thing here to say thank you for even small things. What are generally accepted gifts in this kind of situation?

Well the traditional gift in this sort of situation is to give her a nice sausage. Just make sure you wrap it first.
A week is a long time to impose on someone’s hospitality, so I think the best gift you can give is to be a good houseguest. Tidy up after yourself, offer to cook and clean. Pay for groceries. Be agreeable.
Take a souvenir of Tokyo along with you (just pick up a box of cookies or cakes at the station/airport). Also, treat her to dinner outside at least once.
Good luck!
