Cheap accomodation for 2 people at TGS

hi
I'm working in the game industry, but my company is not focused on Japan. We usually visit E3 in LA and Games Convention in Leipzig.

But this year me and my friend want to visit Tokyo Game Show. We would like to fly from Berlin (Germany) to Tokyo, spend there one week to see the city and of course TGS. We have to pay for this trip from our money, so we're looking for the cheapest hotel/room.

Do you know which airlines have the cheapest flight to Tokyo NARITA?

Maybe somebody from Japan can lend us one room with space for 2 people? We can bring our own sleeping bags. Whole days we will spend at TGS (with business ticket) and in the city.

 

If all you are going to do is sleep then perhaps a capsule hotel and a locker to stash your belongings in would work.
As long as neither of you are to large or claustrophobic.

Yeah, for 3,000 yen - it's the cheapest you'll find.

 

Woah and a ladies only floor to boot!

 

If you want the bare balls cheapest then internet cafe's are the cheapest places to sleep. You'll have to bath in some type of public bath though. The TGS is in Chiba, and I'm fairly certain you could get a decent room probably 50 - 70 euros a night (apiece). Weird thing in Japan: They will charge you more to have two people stay in the same room.

In my experience, Tokyo is a terrible place to go if you want a cheap vacation. It is far too easy to drop thousands of dollars.

 

As for airlines: check British Airways and Alitalia. Both should be below 700 Euro.

If you would have stayed longer I had recommended a guest house like this one (that's where I actually stayed once). It's both cheaper than a hotel and relatively close to both Narita and Makuhari. Unfortunately they changed the rules and now the minimum length of stay is 1 month. Still, try looking for "guest house" on the web. If you're feeling lucky you could also try and mail the manager of the guest house in Matsudo. Maybe you can arrange something.

 

ryoukans would be the best way for you to go. costs about €30 (5000yen) per night max.

 

I wanna take my friend Dylan to TGS I won a trip but was robbed so I'm trying to get there.

sounds good.....but we do want to have sex with random japanese women too......so anygood love hotels?

 

With sex on the brain is any one love hotel better than another? I'm sure GaijinPunch will bust in and enlighten me as always, but I've just never thought of asking something like this. Generally I would think you'd pick up a girl and head off to the nearest spot, not drag her around looking for a specific location that you heard might be nice.

By all means though, if you are lucky enough to try out a few places let us know your findings.

 

girls are not included, sorry mate.

 

I stayed in a Hotel called Kinuya in Ueno which is about 10 mins walk from Akihabara the hotel worked out roughly £32 a nite. I also got a cheap flight with Air France for £370.

 

We can get our girls Japanese girls seem to think I look like Johnny Depp...always a plus

 

http://www.cozyhouse.net - stayed here twice (both the Kami-nakazato and Ichikawa locations), good value for money. It's more like an apartment than a hostel, if you're lucky you get your own kitchen for instance (depends on the amount of people staying).

Cheap airlines? Alitalia is rather cheap, Aeroflot (if you dare), and I believe Qatar Airways as well.

 

I'm flying out this weekend with Lufthansa France - Germany - Japan and the same on the way back.

I used http://www.kayak.com to find cheap flights, good luck.

Oh and Aeroflot fucked me about something stupid, cancelling my flight *3 times* in 24hours for some random (still) unknown reason.

 

Do you think that "girls" should be changed to slappers :lol: Not to mention they'll be so wide you won't feel a thing anyway :nod:

Listen to Yakumo, he speaks from many years of experience. :lol:

 

One of those times I'll Type LOL and actually be laughing out loud!

I saw the girls talking to me through web cam feeds on Yahoo they were the real deal.

My Favorite was the lonely osaka housewife who stripped for me while her husband was at work.....

 

LoL0rx:lol:

 

btw. a good omen as i think.

 

I wasn't always a married man in his early 30's :dance:
