Going to tokyo next autumn (advice needed please)

diru1 · (#1 (**permalink**))

Hi, I will hopefully be going to tokyo next year around end of september or october for 2 weeks with a friend.

I plan to stay in the shinjuku district, flight plus hotel for 2 weeks is looking to cost me around £1200 which I plan to book in the next few months, I have tried to find an alternative to a hotel that offers an ensuite for two people (twin room) but havn't been successful but if anybody knows of any please let me know.

Ive been doing alot of research and my biggest concern is spending money, I won't be leaving tokyo, what I mainly want to do is go around various districts, do a little bit of shopping, I don't want to spend alot on meals just basic/average on average meals although I do want to check out some of the crazy themed restaurants ive heard about such as 'alcatraz ER', check out nightlife/clubs, visit harajuku, arcades, maybe disneysea, sony building etc

I want to visit districts such as Shibuya, shinjuku, ginza etc

Can anybody give me a rough estimate/idea how much is needed because so far ive got random figures, everyone saying different things. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you

What do you mean by alternative to a hotel with two twin beds?

Basically anything like a hotel i.e. private hostel rooms but they don't offer an ensuite, and because I am going with my male friend, we need two beds. Many places offer double beds.

But I don't mind paying the £1200 to be comfortable. It's spending money im more concerned with as I will need to save up if it's a lot more than expected.

What is an "ensuite"? Never heard that word before.

There are lots of hotels with two beds, you just need to look at what is in your price range.

ensuite means with your own bathroom in your room, not shared with the other people like in a hostel. How would you call that?
