I’d like to share my experience about accommodation in Japan. I tried some that is no more than 10,000Yen/per night (double). The hotels actually don’t have high ratings and without a great view in rooms, but I think they are comfortable enough.

In 2005, I did quite a lot of research and found the popular Toyoko Inn – My first choice in Japan now. You can find Toyoko Inn all over Japan, and the rooms look more or less the same. A lot of Hong Kong people like to stay in Toyoko Inn, but the only drawback is the time of check in/out. It provides non-smoking room, and you can book a room online at its website (Chinese/English).

I’ve stayed in these Toyoko Inn:

- Sapporo - near Sapporo JR Station.

- Hakodate - this one is a bit old.

- Tokyo - there are two in Ikebukuro.

- Okinawa - near Naha Station.

Let’s see some photos now! This one is the one located at Tokyo. It looks good.

The lobbies provide free Internet service. Free breakfast is also provided every morning.

This is the room, yet I didn’t take a photo of the bathroom.

I brought my notebook with me (I did it too in the last two times I traveled Japan) as it is more convenient for me to share my photos with my family members. Actually I have a portable device to save my photos, but I feel securer to keep an extra copy.

Besides, it’s good to communicate with other people via MSN, as I can do it at night in the hotel room. Some hotel’s broadband service allows customers to have video & audio conference, but some is voice only. It does save some fee for long distance calls!

Because of this, my wife chats with other people via MSN every night, and one of her friends said that she likes the Hello Kitty mug we bought in Otaru two days ago. Therefore, we go to buy it in the next morning! After that I rush to the train and I am soooo tired! Fortunately I’ve got a seat after a while.

We are going to Asahikawa in the afternoon. We arrive at the zoo at 2pm. We have to hurry up!
