Cheap hotels in Tokyo

In these days of financial uncertainty, cheap hotels in Tokyo are a high priority for many of Japan's inbound tourists. Never fear, folks: Time Out Tokyo is here with a round-up of five very reasonable options. We're not talking luxury accomodation, of course, but at ¥3,000 or less, you'll certainly have a few yen left over to spend at Disneyland. Here's what we've found.

Khaosan has made a decent name for itself on the Asian backpacking circuit over the last few years, with no less than nine hotels opening across Japan, six of which you'll find in the capital. A nice communal spot. Read more
