Living

okay so in the past visits, i stayed at Hotels and With Sakura House. My friend Greg stayed at Guess T House and said it was super inexpensive.

Like i said b4, anytrip over 2 weeks i would rent a apartment.
Tokyo apartment, Guest house, guesthouse room in Japan - Sakura House
Sakura house has locations ALL over Tokyo, and have various prices.

Either Guest Houses are apartments.

Im currently in a double room apartment in Takanawa and its great.

B4 i stayed in a loft. and these apartments are around 1,100 a month and easily fits 2 people. *with their own rooms*

I strongly recommend you travel with a buddy. so you can split rent.

Heres a lil thing abut Sakura house,

They close at 550.

Most flights get in at 3-4
takes about a hour and 1/2 or longer pending on traffic to get to Shinjuku which is their main office where you pick up your room keys.

So expect to spend the first night partying til dawn and putting your luggage in lockers or stayin at a cheap over night hotel.

Guess T House in Tokyo, Japan
Guest T house is basicly a Hostel.

there is choices to either stay in a room with others or your own room.

prices can vary from 25 a night to 100 a night.

the choice is up to you.

Each place speaks english and their number can be found on the website.

besure to book way ahead of time.

hotels can cost DOUBLE of what these places cost

so its worth while to check it out.

You'll need passport and such.

For sakura house you will put down a 30,000 Yen deposit which you get back at the end of the trip.
Good for the trip back to the airport and picking up some quick things b4 you leave.

Generally if your staying longer you give a 3 weeks notice.

Apartments are better cuz you get your own bathroom, kitchen, and shower.

Guest house you have your own room but you share every thing else.

Careful during the holidays and look for days which they are closed.

During new years sakura house closes for 4 days straight.

The guest houses have basic bed and desk and air conditioner.
The apartments have bds desks, racks and drawers to hand your clothing and put items in. and AC and TV in each room. Also its nice to not have to worry about having your food eaten by other room mates.

Like i said each place has english speaking workers and will help you out.



Any further questions please pm me.
