Looking for accomodation in the Tokyo area...

[howabe]

Hey all,
Well, I and an associate are planning to travel to Japan this summer, from July till August, and, being the lazy dropouts we are, we can't really be bothered doing any in depth research just yet. So I was wondering if anybody could recommend any accomodation in and around the Tokyo area (for 2). Bear in mind that being students, we do have a budget...
Thanks in advance...

Ummm... yeah... I forgot about the accomodation page ><
Well, thanks for reminding me anyways...

 

[budd]

Budd, that place looks nice.

I'm going to be in Tokyo soon, and I'm thinking about staying there. What else can you tell me about it? Any good places to eat nearby? Does a sexy obaasan work there? Etc......

 

[budd]

hmmm... it's VERY close to Kaminari-mon 雷門
kaiten-zushi about a block away...
sexy obaasan? bahahahahahaha
open-air market three or so blocks away, visible from hotel...

Dig it. I love kaiten-zushi! (The 100yen kind.....) Thanks Budd!

 

[budd]

np! thanks for saying thanks! this hotel has a really organic feel to it -- a lot of wood... the staircase is really beautiful from an angle. the current managers are a couple of guys named Satoshi and Kenichi. really cool internationally-minded people. and they both speak excellent english!

Hey Budd, you don't remember if they sell towels at that onsen, do you? How is it?

yeah, they do. the hotel does also, but the onsen for sure, cause i bought one! they have three tubs of varying temperature... with the waterfall + rocks motif
