Weak economy and strong Yen might make you feel reluctant to travel in Japan.
But I found an interesting video from Youtube, introducing some budget guest house around Sanya, Tokyo.

This reminds me of my long stay and travel in Australia when I was at the age of 25.
I was a backpacker, and I stayed at budget hotels such as YHA or backpacker’s hotel for about A$10 per night or something. I like this experience because I’d never feel like sharing a bedroom with someone I don’t know, when I’m getting old. I used to sleep on a bunkbed out of 3 or more in a room. I’ve seen a quite stranger (man) sleeping with one of the girls who chose to stay at a “girl’s room”. 

Anyway, here’s a link to an economy backpacker’s hotel called HOTEL NEW KOYO in Sanya, Tokyo.
The cheapest room costs 2500 yen per night and did you know that end-of-year thru new year period is totally booked by many foreign tourists because they wanna go to Comic Market (Comiket) that takes place at the very end of the year in Tokyo.  Exploring Hatsumode, visiting shrines to pray for good luck in new year, is another good experience that you can have especially in this period.  Oh, let me add that I didn’t know anything about Comiket.  I knew it from a related video from Youtube when I was browsing.  Those who are interested in Japanese anime, manga, akiba, figure, etc., might wanna check out the event.

Normally most of the stores and restaurants are to be closed for holidays in this period, but when it comes to Tokyo, it’s a city without sleep.  Stores may open a few hours later than usual and close little earlier but that is it.  They just won’t rest and lose any chances to have customers any time.

So much for today.
