Tokyo Hotels

Tokyo is a busy city for tourists who like city. If you want to stay really cheap, you can stay in `Manga-kissa` or `Karaoke`. There is no key on the door but it's no prob if you watch your property out. It costs 6-7 for ataying overnight. The next cheap accomodation is hostels. Japanese … Kyoko T.

There is far too much to Tokyo to write in one entry here.  I will attempt to put the most important (for a tourist's point of view) things here today.  I will add more as I think of things. MONEY: The most important thing I can think to write is to remember to bring cash.  It is easier in Tokyo … Brent M.
