Can I ask about cheapest air bnb place in osaka which is accessible to train station, convenience store. Mall or grocery. Easy for us to go to kyoto. Hiroshima etc.. pls recommend.. we are 7 pax in all
This video is so accurate and helpful! I stayed at the Hotel Sunroute Plaza Shinjuku and it was worth it in terms of location, value for money and it also is a stop for the airport limousine bus incase that's useful for anyone going there. No need to worry about taking your luggage to the airport.
Hey Toshi 👋. I'm currently visiting from the USA and recently spent 4 days in Tokyo. I booked the Remm Tokyo Hibashi and it was great. It's very modern, clean and is only about 7 minute walk to Tokyo Station which made it a great place with access to so many public transportation options. They have great staff. Also, the fact that it's located in a business district resulted in quiet streets at night. Thanks for all of your informative videos. I'm flying home Tuesday but hope to return again soon.
I was in Japan August 4-12 and I had day trips to Hiroshima, Kyoto, and Osaka. I stayed at Hotel 21 East in the Koto district, I believe. It was a 800 meter walk to Toyocho station and there is a Daiso store near the station. The breakfast buffet was delicious and the hotel room was clean and comfortable. It was perfect because I don’t want my hotel in the middle of a busy area.
Hi Toshi, love your videos ❤ I suggest you DON'T stay in any of the major busy areas of Tokyo. Visit them by all means, but don't stay in them unless you like the thought of being on a roller coaster that never sleeps 😅 After 10 Japan visits, and 8 visits to Tokyo, the winner is Sugamo. During each visit I've stayed in a different location each time. Firstly, when staying in Tokyo it's super important to stay as close as you can to a station on the Tokyo Yamanote Loop Line. This has you on track quickly to your destinations without having to connect from a line outside the city centre to the Yamanote line. On my 8th trip I found the quiet northern area of Sugamo/Otsuka which is the best area I've stayed in out of eight different spots. It's regarded as a seniors' local area with its cheaper prices all around in restaurants and supermarkets, etc. Sugamo is also home to the tranquil Rikugien Garden, one of the two great Edo gardens. The town also boasts the traditional 'Jizo-dori street market day' in the middle of the shopping street three times a month with locals selling bric-a-brac and collectables amongst the food vendors ! Sugamo is only 2 stations from Ikebukuro a major hub and busy city center. It's also centred on the Yamanote line between Shinjuku/Shibuya and Akihabara/Tokyo so you're doing less travelling time either direction between the busy tourist areas. Sugamo also has 2 railway lines and a tram line ! The Toei subway station, is right next to the JR railway station, so it's super convenient. In addition there is the Arakawa Toden Tram line as well, the last remaining tram line in Tokyo. Now re-named as the 'Sakura Tram' (cherry blossom tram) it's a wonderful area to explore overlooked by most tourists. Also, only one connection from Sugamo is required to either Haneda or Narita Airports. It's a big advantage to be able to enjoy your mornings having breakfast in the quiet area of Otsuka/Sugamo at the start of your day, then able to retreat from the bustling crowds at the end of each day. Still, most tourists will stay in one of the hectic busy areas of Tokyo and overlook this gem of a location, but maybe that's ok and it will leave it being the 'jewel in the crown' that it is 👑. Sugamo #1 👍
Thank you for sharing your real experience. It's very helpful for other tourists. I also love the Sugamo and Otsuka areas. Last year, I went to Rikugien Garden with my TH-cam viewer to see the autumn leaves. I hope you come back to Japan soon!
Disagree. I've been 3 times now and never used the Yamanote line as I get the ridiculously cheap 72hr metro passes. So I stay sorta near any of those stations.
@@psprog yeah staying close to a station on the metro line sorta works too 👍 ... More 'same-same' than a 'disagree'. The difference is, the Yamanote is a loop line so that eliminates the stop and transfer between Subway lines ... Have you stopped at the Sugamo Toei Subway station and explored Sugamo ? Jizo-Dori street market every 4th, 14th & 24th of EVERY month. Enjoy your Japan travels 😃
Nice video! I'm wrapping up my stay in your beautiful country! I loved every bit of my trip. I'm staying my last 2 days in Chiba because I'm leaving from Narita, I stayed in Shinjuku for 1 week, visited all the amazing neighborhoods, and spent other 3 weeks in Osaka, kyoto, Hakone, Hiroshima, Miyajima, Nara and Nagoya. The best thing from japan: the people. ❤
@phoenixnmhesq is hard to say, I would say Kyoto because all the nature walks, Arashiyama is so beautiful, the whole area, with some beautiful trails. Osaka is a different vibe. If you can do both, I really recommend doing it, and if you have some extra days near Tokyo, go to Chiba and Narita, the area near Naritasan temple is reminiscing Gion in kyoto but without the crowds.
Thank you sooo much Toshi, this was super helpful! I'm already nervous and happy for my next year trip to Tokyo. I'm getting familiarized with the apps you've recommended. Arigatou gozamaisu!
If you like to stay at a quiet place, I also recommend staying near Gotanda, I stayed there in February and going again in January. For me is a perfect location.
Thank you for mentioning Gotanda. Will be staying there in a few weeks so it’s good to know that others recommend it. Being in a quieter area was a big part in choosing it as well as the cost of hotels compared to the more popular places like Shibuya and Shinjuku.
Regarding Akihabara, I recently stayed at APA hotel there the new one near excelsior coffee and it was such great hotel too affordable and the location within Akihabara is amazing Thanks for the guide here as always, Toshi-san! We may go back next month and may stay on Ueno 😁
Thanks Toshi for the advice, I will sleep in Asakusa on my January-February trip, I have been there 2 other times and I had a good time but when I make another trip I absolutely want to sleep in Akihabara, I am also a fan of anime and manga XD
Of course, Shinjuku is recommended for sightseeing, but Shimbashi Station is also good as it is a convenient station on the Yamanote Line. I hope you have a wonderful time in Japan.
Thank you, for another amazing video, Mr. Toshi, We are planning to stay in Righa Royal Hotel Tokyo when we will go to Japan. Do you recommended this hotel as a good option? If not, could you provide us some options? Thank you so much again for the video. We love it.
The reviews are good and I think it's a very good hotel. It's also close to the subway station. According to the official website, there is also a free shuttle bus to the main station. I hope you have a wonderful time in Japan.
Shinagawa and Tachiaigawa are also great locations in central Tokyo. Shinagawa Station is the shinkansen station for Osaka and Kyoto, so they are especially recommended if you are heading there.
Stayed at one of the APA hotel towers which was about a ten minute walk from the central part of Shinjuku for nineteen days, while visiting friends just this past September. A friend who lives in Tokyo, called that particular area the 'love hotel' area! I didn't know- I simply got the cheapest rate through Expedia! Anyway, the hotel was decent, and even at night (walking back and forth to Shinjuku station, or looking for food) I felt fine. The only complaint was when some 'women of the night' would pester me, saying "Massage, Massage" over and over, while walking by. But, if that's one of the so-called 'worst' areas to stay, then that's not bad at all!
Though small, I recommend staying at one of the APA hotels. They are efficient, neat, clean and centrally located everywhere- and the cost helped me afford to stay for almost three weeks.
I stated in Kinshicho at Tobu Levant. Station was a 3 min walk from the hotel. 20 min walk to Skytree. Didn't feel out of the way at all for not being by the Yamamoto line
We stay in Kanda. Short walking distance to JR and metro station. Just one station away from Tokyo station or Akihabara station. Lots of restaurant open at night. Very convenient. It also fits our budget.
@@caynerwong1975would you please share the hotel name ! I’m planning my trip and looking for a budget friendly hotel that’s also near the train station
@@thizirisaile2543 Hotel Name : Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kanda Otemachi. You need to enter full hotel name as there is another Sotetsu Hotel nearby. There are many more options if you search around Kanda area.
Nice informative video, thank you! I will visiting Japan for the first time on a solo trip in early December, have booked hotel The Celestine Tokyo Shiba in Minato area because I wanted to stay closer to Tokyo station and on Yamanote line. Is this a good area/hotel for solo female travellers? Thanks!
It's in a great location within walking distance of the Yamanote Line station. The reviews are also very good. I hope you have a wonderful time in Japan.
@@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan thank you so much Toshi! I am so looking forward to my trip to Japan, can’t wait to see autumn foliage and visit Mt Fuji and Kyoto and Osaka :) Also, I like your videos, they are very helpful for people like me who will be travelling to Japan for the first time.. please provide your recommendations for solo travellers if any. Thanks!
I am looking for a mire quiet experience but with shopping. I also like being near water and parks. What's your suggestion in tokyo? I' know kichijouji and used to live in that area. How about kawasaki?
Oh, you lived in Japan! I love Kichijoji too. I lived in Kawasaki for seven years. There aren't many tourist attractions, but it's a nice place with good transportation access. Please come visit Japan again!
There are no famous tourist attractions near Tabata Station, but it is located on the Yamanote Line, a convenient train line in Tokyo, so it is in a very convenient location.
Hi Toshi were planning to visit Tokyo for 10 days. We’re thinking to stay in Tokyo for 6 days and the rest is by Mt. Fuji. Do you have any recommendations instead? Pls. advice. Thank you
I recommend places near Tokyo such as Yokohama, Kamakura and Hakone. I provide a trip planning service, so please check it out! www.toshi-guide-trip.com/itinerary-service
Hello. I will be in Shinjuku for several days and I will also be in Tokyo Dome City for 2 days. Do you think it's worth it to stay in Tokyo Dome City???
You can get to Tokyo Dome City from Shinjuku by train in 15 minutes. If you want a change of pace you can stay there, but if not you can stay in Shinjuku.
Yokohama is also a great tourist destination, so it's a good location. However, if you want to travel in Tokyo, hotels in the Tokyo area would be better located.
Almost every hotel he recommends are very expensive lol I chose to stay in ueno but I got cheaper room at around $80-90 (Hotel Urban Ueno) and a Hotel around Kameido station which is only $50-60 (Hotel Mystay Kameido) and it is just 1-2 station away from Akihabara.
@@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan Exactly… you should make sure the basis why you recommend them is consistent. Last, for most tourists, we do not spend much time at the hotel. I personally do not mind cheaper hotel that is a hit further away from the station because I only come back to rest after 8-9pm.
I've stayed twice in ikebukuro on the west side at the metropolitan. Would routinely walk to east end for restaurants and visit Sunshine City. By North American standards, it's an incredibly safe area. For fun conveyor belt sushi/gachapon combo try Kura sushi.
Ikebukuro is a large downtown area with countless different restaurants, so you don't have to worry about finding something to eat. I hope you have a wonderful time in Japan.
Here few tips to add in Shinjuku and may be other places, important note like he said in video there staff shortage in Tokyo there for avoid Hotel Gracery Shinjuku there been few issues in that hotel like rooms unclean etc. there’s a tokyu stay near that has in room washer/dryer. Also about 10 blocks from west gate in business building the cocoon building the love sing or in front of Ootoya “Gohandokoro Shinjuku Center Building” please avoid sitting on wall guard going ask you get off. that where most of klook / guides meet the average time of pickup is 6-7am for your tour recommend leave early also there’s no open kobini open at that time I recommend look for 24/7 near you before you go if you want grab snack. oh also some bus ride like to hakone takes 1-2hour so use bathroom before you go like use your hotel lobby
There is a budget barrier for everyone... and my line is $150 in my currency (90USD) a night. Anything more is, to my thinking, a criminal waste of money so when I see recommendations for hotels from Japan travel experts, it is evident that expectations of what viewers can afford are incorrect. Yes, some travellers can afford those kind of five star rooms, but those wealthy people don't use TH-cam to plan their hotels! It's people who want a clean room, a bathroom, and a bed in a 12 square metre space close to a convenience store and a shopping mall. This is who is watching. Maybe someone younger is watching who wants to sleep in Net Cafes late, do stuff all day and soak up the nightlife. Who thought that capsule hotels would become overpriced? Well, they are now! This is why business hotel chains are now being looked at by more tourists. I'm not sure if these 2-3 star hotels are ready for the challenge of so many English-speaking customers!

We certainly appreciate your knowledge!
Thank you for watching as usual!!
@@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan Most welcome my friend!
May I get anyone opinion about 'ikebukuro east' is it good for family? unfortunately we could not get affordable stay in shinjuku and shibuya
I've stayed twice in ikebukuro on the west side at the metropolitan. Would routinely walk to east end for restaurants and visit Sunshine City. By North American standards, it's an incredibly safe area. For fun conveyor belt sushi/gachapon combo try Kura sushi.
Ikebukuro is a large downtown area with countless different restaurants, so you don't have to worry about finding something to eat.
I hope you have a wonderful time in Japan.
@@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan Thank you so much Toshi for the information. Very useful
Here few tips to add in Shinjuku and may be other places, important note like he said in video there staff shortage in Tokyo there for avoid Hotel Gracery Shinjuku there been few issues in that hotel like rooms unclean etc. there’s a tokyu stay near that has in room washer/dryer.
Also about 10 blocks from west gate in business building the cocoon building the love sing or in front of Ootoya “Gohandokoro Shinjuku Center Building” please avoid sitting on wall guard going ask you get off. that where most of klook / guides meet the average time of pickup is 6-7am for your tour recommend leave early also there’s no open kobini open at that time I recommend look for 24/7 near you before you go if you want grab snack. oh also some bus ride like to hakone takes 1-2hour so use bathroom before you go like use your hotel lobby
Thank you for sharing your real experience.
It's very helpful for other tourists.
I appreciate it!!
@@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan just returning the favor 😌
Toshi, can I stay at your place? Lol
Hahaha. After I start the hotel service, it's OK!
@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan please make some videos on love hotel.
Maybe it's cheaper to sleep overnight then hotels.
Good for the first timer only plus most of the hotels u recommend are expensive , say Ritz Carlton , definitely not budget friendly at all.
Thank you for your comment.
In the next video, I'll also show you some great hotel deals.
There is a budget barrier for everyone... and my line is $150 in my currency (90USD) a night. Anything more is, to my thinking, a criminal waste of money so when I see recommendations for hotels from Japan travel experts, it is evident that expectations of what viewers can afford are incorrect.
Yes, some travellers can afford those kind of five star rooms, but those wealthy people don't use TH-cam to plan their hotels! It's people who want a clean room, a bathroom, and a bed in a 12 square metre space close to a convenience store and a shopping mall. This is who is watching. Maybe someone younger is watching who wants to sleep in Net Cafes late, do stuff all day and soak up the nightlife.
Who thought that capsule hotels would become overpriced? Well, they are now! This is why business hotel chains are now being looked at by more tourists. I'm not sure if these 2-3 star hotels are ready for the challenge of so many English-speaking customers!
Thank you for sharing your real experience and opinion.
