Sleeping In Tokyo
The hotel experience in Tokyo ranges from high-end rooms with every conceivable luxury to the always-intriguing capsule hotel. The sleek, high-rises provide a touch of familiarity to Western travelers while traditional ryokan bring you into direct contact with a different culture and customs. Though Tokyo is filled with hotel rooms, we recommend making reservations in advance. After a long flight, the last thing you want to do is try to find a place to sleep.
- Cheap Digs
If you're looking for affordable, alternative places to stay overnight, don't overlook Japan's numerous internet cafes offering services such as overnight accommodations, showers, food and beverages in addition to the usual internet access, DVD rentals and manga comic books.
- Cheap Hotels in Tokyo
In a city as expensive as Tokyo "cheap" is definitely a relative term. Japanese hotels in general, and Tokyo hotels specifically, can be quite expensive. In Tokyo a luxury hotel can easily cost $1,000 (us) per night, and even mid-range hotels cost anywhere from $250-$350 per night.
Needless to say, budget travel in Tokyo can be quite a challenge.
