Advantages: Cheap and pretty place Disadvantages: Often fullly booked
...- Occupying the 18th & 19th floors of a high building, you get a really superb panorama view of Tokyo.
It can be seen even from the large window of your room.
At night, the view is totally fabulous. Also available from bathroom, amazing!
- This Youth Hostel is open to everyone.
Tokyo propose expensive accomodations so this kind of place is often fully booked at certain period.
But reservations are accepted three months in advance and may be made by phone or letter.
- The total capacity is 158 guests.
- Access guide : you can easily get by the tube, you can drop off lidabashi station (West Exit) JR Sobu Line then there's a short walk (1 mn!).
Or from same station but Exit B2b by metro Yurakucho Line, or Nambokuline.

Advantages: RELIABLE, EXCELLENT SERVICE IN LHR, NRT Disadvantages: COULD NOT FIND ANY... SO FAR
...I GO TO TOKYO BY VIRGIN EVRY FEW MONTHS AND I CAN RELY ON THIER SERVICES EVEN ON ECONOMY SEATS.
AT LHR BOTH BRITISH AND JAPANESE STAFFS WORK HARD AND VERY KIND. FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT IS VERY GOOD AND FOOD IS VERY GOOD. STAFF KEEP THEIR SMILE ALL THE TIME AND VERY PRO. I HAD TO USE BA FOR 3 TIMES IN 2006 TO TOKYO AND I WILL NEVER EVER USE BA AGAIN. I'D RATHER WAIT UNTIL VIRGIN BECOMES AVAILABLE. ONCE THERE WAS A TYPHOON APPROACHING TOKYO SO I COULD NOT FLY OUT OF NARITA AIRPORT BACK TO LONDON SO VIRGIN-JAPAN GAVE ME A 1 NIGHT HOTEL STAY AT FOC IN NARITA AIRPORT. I THINK IT WOULD BE UNFAIR FOR VIRGIN TO HAVE THEM COMPARED WITH BA. I THINK THAT BA STANDS FOR "BUNCH of AMATEURS".
ALSO AS A BRAND "VIRGIN" IS LIKE SONY TO THE ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES !!
TOP MARKS TO THE VIRGIN FOR HEATHROW - TOKYO ROUTE !!!...

Advantages: Many, a wonderful, cultural experience Disadvantages: None I can recall
...I have recently returned from a work related trip to Asia, my first stop on the three-week trip was Tokyo. I have to say this was by far the best place I visited and I hope one day I will return.
I had read a Rough Guide travel book and some Ciao ops to prepare me for what I expected to be a daunting stay, but I was very pleasantly surprised and very impressed with Japan.
When I arrived at Narita airport I got on an airport bus that took me directly to my hotel in Tokyo. I was staying in Shinagawa, which is a district of Tokyo dominated by hotels and restaurants. It was a great base for a stay in Tokyo. My hotel, Shinagawa Prince was in an ideal place, right by the train station and central to many restaurants. My room was on the 29th floor and I had great views of the skyline. Just through the train station was the business district...
