Sakura Hostel, Tokyo Japan
The Sakura Youth Hostel is in the Asakusa (Ah-sock-sa) part of Tokyo. It is conveniently located to the sites and is on the end of a main subway line (the Ginza). It only costs 2900 Yen so roughly 25 bucks, 17 euros, 12 GBP at the time of writing. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is a phone in the room, vending machines (stocked with Gatorade, Soda and beer) in the lobby, along with about 12 pay computers (you only pay for internet access though, so you can upload your photos from your camera and then put in your code to send them for example)
The rooms are a little on the cramped side (welcome to Tokyo) and it is a little tricky to find. All in all a great pick. Not only would I stay here again, I did (at the beginning and end of my trip)
Definitely Recommended.
