Where We Stayed During 5 Days In Tokyo…
By cooldude | April 6, 2008
No, we did not stay in some luxurious 5-star hotels during our trip in tokyo. To save up on accomodation (so that we could spend more on other goodies…), we chose to stay in a hostel. So the first thing I thought of was hostelworld.com. I used it everytime I’m travelling overseas and it has never failed me even once! One thing I liked about this site is that it compares the price every hostel in the area and provides real user reviews of them.
After much research, I chose to stay in Asakusa Ryokan Toukaisou. It’s cheap (only cost about US$117 per person for 4 nights)! For that price, you’d be surprised to find the hostel super clean, although the rooms are a little cramp. The location of the hostel is also close to famous tourist attractions such as the Sensoji Temple. Below are a few pictures of the hostel :-).

Hi Juliana, long time no see! That’s the common living room for the people staying there. There’s a tv, 2 pcs with internet and a shelf with Japan travel books.
If you intend to book this hostel, you can go to hostelworld.com. I advice you and Jhongren to book 3 to 4 months in advance, as places fill up pretty fast!
