Tokyo: The Hunt for Space
Tokyo, one the most populated in the country - is filled with hundreds of hotels and hostels all waiting to be filled with tourists. The real challenge is finding something within ¥10,000 per person per day, with space to actually open your luggage and still have ground to walk on.
I'm a simple person who doesn't mind only the basic things such as a towel and a clean bathroom, a clean bed and a good location since I spend most of my time outside the accomodation and only sleep and get ready there, and I carry my own minimal toiletries.
Here are a few hostels, airbnbs and hotels with good reviews that fit this description in Tokyo for you to consider.

GLOU Higashi Shinjuku
@srixx
Just 2 minutes from Shinjuku station on foot, this property was perfect for actually having space and prime location with good customer service. We stayed here on our last day in Tokyo.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dr. Srinidhi Kumar
Hey! I'm Dr. Srinidhi, a young doctor with a love for travelling. I recently realized the amount of research I do before going to places end up becoming a boon for me and I could help others by sharing what I've learnt from travel with fellow travellers or tourists, in a very realistic way and to actually explore the city as it is but also see some famous spots.
I know my guides will be very helpful and I do hope they come directly in use and serve as bread and butter for your trips! Contact me at @dr.srixx on instagram for any further questions :)
