Anne Black YWCA, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 4-7 August 2010
This place was cheap, cheap, cheap. It cost us $60NZ per night for twin room with air conditioning, hand basin, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, tooth brush, towels and a jug. The showers had good pressure and the bathroom was lockable. However there was no kitchen or laundry and reception was open very early and very late.
Kimi Ryokan, Ikebukuro “Sunshine City”, Tokyo, Japan, 7-14 August 2010
It was cheap for what is one of the best “ryokans” in Tokyo, or so I’ve read online. It only cost us around $105NZ per night for a medium sized room, for two people, for four very comfortable futon mats. It was clean and tidy. It had a kitchen with free green tea and a beer vending machine, a TV room, free wifi and free use of robes and towels. The shower rooms were lockable and there was room to get changed in private. There were also space outside to hang out any washing but there was no laundry.
The some of the staff spoke English and were friendly and helpful. It is near a train station and near the limousine bus stop, which takes people from Narita airport to Tokyo city.
