- What kind of hotel will $140/night get you in Central Tokyo? It will get you this super tiny hotel room at Hotel Hatago in the Asakusa district of Tokyo. I'll show you around one of their Twin Rooms, which actually one of their bigger rooms at 14 square meters. The Single Room is just 9 square meters! We enjoyed our stay... but one night in this room was probably enough for us!

Great video ! Chris you looked like a giant in that room. It brought back wonderful memories of Tokyo. Thanks Chris :)
I love Asakusa, it’s like 1950’s Japan. Lots of shopping streets and food. Ryokan Kamogawa is very good if you can get a room with a private bath and you can schedule a private onset bath.
You have the best travel videos! Not only are they informative but you know how to make them fun and enjoyable to watch
Thanks E J!!!
I went to Tokyo 3 years ago and stayed at the Asakusa sky view hotel. The room was actually pretty good in size and the view and hotel was beautiful. 💖 Tokyo
Wow great location near the train station and a great price! Thanks For showing this!
Thanks Patricia!
Every thing is so cute!!!
Hey Chris,if this room was any smaller Topher would want his own to stay in! This is the first tour I’ve had of any Japanese hotel and I found it very interesting. Thanks for posting!
Hah! Thanks Classicrocker... I've got a few more Japanese room reviews queued up from this trip!
Awesome job chris I love japan
Thanks Adam!
Your welcome Chris I can t for going to japan.
I stayed in The Richmond hotel in Asakusa for a week back in the fall of 2016 and I thought it was a nice sized room. Then again, I don't need much space. During my stay I really only used the room to sleep because I was too busy trying to explore the massive city of Tokyo.
But one night, I fell asleep with my glasses still on and broke them. I spent half the day blindly wandering Asakusa looking for the glasses shop. When I finally found it, I asked the man if he could fix them and he just responded with "...Impossible". So I checked out the glasses, which were mostly unisex and not my kinda style, and when I saw a pair I thought I might be able to settle with he told me they were about $400 USD. I took the walk of shame out of the shop.
I spent the rest of the day in my little hotel room, watching "Last Action Hero" in Japanese and doing laundry, wondering what I was going to do about my broken glasses. Then it dawned on me. Super glue.
So I walked down the block to Don Quijote, the greatest store in the world, and went to the hardware section. I was checking out all the super glue to see what might be the strongest, and there it was. A black label with a lightning bolt. That HAS to be the one to do the job, right? I approached a young lady who was stocking shelves and like an idiot, I said "Sumimasen... Strong?" Pointing to the glue, flexing my bicep 💪. She said "Ah... Hai! Strongu!" as she also flexed her bicep.
That glue saved my trip. And those glasses lasted another 3 years. I had to re-glue them multiple times with that black label lightning bolt glue every time I would fall asleep with them on, but I definitely got my money's worth.
The moral of the story is... Uh... Asakusa hotels are nice.
And that Don Quijote is awesome! :)
Great vid man I love it was this before quarantine dude awesome vid also say hi to topher for me
Topher waves back!
👋👋👋 To you to Chris
Thanks for video
This is the hotel I stayed in. The picture I saw on the web looked like yours. I got a one bed for me and my wife so you can imagine how small it was. Was clean though and came with breakfast.
That hotel room is quite small! Luckily I'm only 5'8", so the shower would not be too much of a problem. Watching this brings back flashbacks for when I stayed at a hotel in Amsterdam (it was even smaller than this one) where the bedroom was very tiny. The small desk area could only be accessed by sitting on the twin bed! I agree that it only looks like a 1-night hotel (at least for me). I do like how it is located close to a metro station and some attractions. Great review!
Europe has some small hotels too!
Really cool room. Looks about the same size as our APA hotel room in Shinjuku xD
You look like Gulliver and his travels. ha. No wasted space. Love your videos.
Thanks Sandra!
This is the most entertaining hotel room ever :o)
It does make me want to go the Japan even more. I really enjoy your Japan videos this is one vacation that is on my bucket list.
Glad you found it entertaining Percy!
Stayed over night in the Yaesu Terminal Hotel in Tokyo in 2012. Building a little larger, room a little smaller. Lift could only fit 2 people and was a struggle with luggage.
I stayed at a business hotel near the Shiomi station Keiyo JR line (APA Tokyo hotel). I'm a short person, and even I found it so tiny. Can't imagine what it must be like for someone bigger and taller.
C. C. Lemon.. Shirt ? lol , i know that was for your vegas rumor episode i thought i try.. Love your show..
Hah! Thanks for trying Glenn! Next time! :)
Wow I realized Japan was dense but wow but I still want to go to Japan so bad
ME TWO SUB TO MD
You should check out Dormy Inn. They have an awesome breakfast buffet included with your stay.
Thanks for the tip D K.. I'll consider Dormy Inn next time
love it! My first Japan video ... from the Las Vegas videos ... as Elain says on Sinfeld, "I want to go to there". I also want to go to the restaurants in the US that have the worse reviews ... just to see what happens .. but my girlfriend is not up for that.
Thanks Scott! I made a video about the Worst hotels in Vegas.. so i get wanting to explore the worst ;)
Good...for kids
Nice review Chris. I guess the hotel room is tiny for adults but the perfect size for small kids 😄
Thanks P La! It's perfect for small stuffed pandas! :)
Not that this is a contest, but I think I have you beat on small hotel rooms in Tokyo. lol
In 2013 stayed at Hotel Kuramae close to the Kuramae Station, just one stop from Asakusa. The rooms were tiny, but they were so affordable that each of us were able to get our own room. Oh! This is a fun little fact. Since I stayed there, the hotel was bought by OYO, the same that bought the Hooters Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
This was the last hotel I would stay in during my Tokyo trips before moving unto AirBnB. I still stay in hotels in Narita as I make Narita part of my experience and spend at least an entire day there when arriving and some times before heading back home. My Hotel of choice in Narita is Narita U-City Hotel. It's right by the station, great price and overall confy to stay in.
Small hotel room contest! Sounds like fun! :)
I hope you will go to the Philippines soon.
You are right....no place to put your suitcase on that floor. lol Enjoy your Weekend Mr. Chris. :-)
THANKS MP! Enjoy your weekend as well!
That room would be great for little people. Guess they don't have minimum height requirements. Looks very clean and you get continental buffet, not bad.
ちょっと旅館チックなのが素敵。
Shinjuku New City was a struggle with a family of four. one 5yr old and a 11yr old. A little smaller than this. The bathtub was a half-seat model! This is probably a business hotel.
Ooof... I bet that was tough!
Yellow Productions yes it was. The big boy took one of the singles. I slept on a chair next to the half opened window. It was autumn, so it was nice and cool. Awkward position, no easy way around it.
Interesting fact. This was in 2009. Now when I sleep anywhere in Japan in autumn, I choose the bed next to the window. Yes, half opened. That's MY Japan.
Hey Chris, that room looks much bigger than the place we stayed in Osaka, we had a triple room Japanese style, the beds took the width of the room, but it was an experience, definitely waiting to go back when flights resume from Australia 😁
Yeah.. theres smaller rooms in Japan for sure! :)
Definitely, we just got creative, and stacked our luggage in the corner, just to have enough room, it was still fun.
for a comparison, in 2017 I stayed at the Keio Plaza Hotel in Shinjuku and for 25 sq meters and paid about 280 US dollars
A bit bigger for sure :)
You look good in black 👍
Pretty bad but this is Japan which is overpopulated. How much larger were the other hotel rooms you stayed in in Japan? Keep making the videos!
Oh my gosh thanks for making me laugh, you look like a giant trapped in a miniature dollhouse!🛏🏯🐼
you don’t go to japan to sit in your room ... looks awesome to me
Coll hotel room in japen ❤️
It sure is!
I had the same problem tripping over the threshold.
Glad I'm not the only one! :)
Man, how long ago was this filmed?
Also, WHY do I torment myself by watching Japan videos when I know I can't go there for a LONG time?😭
It was filmed in February
Hi Chris. That is a very tiny room. Definitely not made for Westerners. At least they have an empty fridge for you to use. That is a nice night view of the Sky Tree Hotel.
Hello, may i know what type the room that you review in yhis video?
This was the "twin room"
Are most hotels there more expensive? $140 for a room the size of a shoe box seems a bit skewed.
Bigger rooms are more expensive for sure. I'd say this is an "average" room price for Tokyo... and the average Tokyo room is the size of a shoebox :)
Good location though.
You know what i would see there, probably a vending machine . LOL
For sure! :)
Whaaaa, you are in Tokyo now? Lol
This is from my trip in February
I wasn't aware they use the European system of displaying time in Japan, you know, "17:35" instead of "5:35 pm".
They like to even go beyond with times like 24:30 for times that are "30 minutes past midnight"
@@YellowProductions Interesting. So that means they switch from 24:59 to 01:00 o'clock then?
If it has a bed, private bathroom and A/C, then I'm good.
Lol, table? I thought that was a stool! I wonder if any Sumo wrestlers ever go there?
I'm currently fuming. In your latest livestream, I actually won the giveaway. If it is possible, check the live chat. I was the first one that answered the question correctly.
how you get to japan when they on lock down?
Style Points it was filmed in February.
Look the size of surgical beds. How big is the pool..lmao
No pool :)
I'm sure I've stayed in bigger cruise ship cabins.
I bet! :)
8:30 No justice for Topher yo, he was hit, i tell ya he was hit!
Hah!
Nice... they dont want people to stay long....lol
They must want people out enjoying Tokyo :)
@@YellowProductions yes indeed.. SLEEP here BUT get out when you are awake.....lol
WHEN do.you go LIVE again??
The women in Tokyo are used to small things.
You made the decision to stay cheap. Very “cheap” shot to make fun of the small hotel. Shame on this “cheap” vlog
Did you make it to the end where I gave my review? I said we enjoyed our stay and recommend it for travelers on their way in or not. I'm not making "fun" of it as much as I am highly how different it is from a typical Western hotel
Yellow Productions
Okay - out of fairness I went back and rewatched. You should consider an edit and make that statement up front. I cut out because I thought you were making fun of the rooms.
Rewatched to the end. And yes. There was a disclaimer. Watch it to the end.
@@lindamorita710 Hi Linda.. sorry about the misunderstanding!
Linda Morita STFU and have several seats
Yeah OK it's a small room - big deal - just get over it and don't be such a snob
