If you get lost, find a subway station. I'll probably have a fight with the ticket machine the first time again, but once you get the hang of it pretty easy. If you're from a big city that has an underground should be no prob, ticket machines can display English. Outside Tokyo the trick is to prepare beforehand with Hyperdia. Still, if there's any doubt they can help you at information and tourist centers. As for getting around it really is easy. If you get lost, find a subway station.

For 30 sq. meters and a view. A really good deal in Tokyo. They have cheaper rooms at around 19 sq. meters for 12.000 yen/night. More known hotels in the same area (Minato) with comparable room space or a view cost around 18.000 and upwards. Am keeping an eye on xe.com for exchange rates. Ever since that Dubai thing blew up my Euro can buy me 128 yen instead of 133 (about a week ago). When I went in 2007 I think my Euro could buy me 146 yen. So... even though it's unstable now I hope it's going to crawl up. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=EURJPY=X&t=2y&l=on&z=m&q=l&c= 16.000 yen/night. For 30 sq. meters and a view.

Everything looks soo nice! And its very close 2 a train station. I pictured how it would be for me getting around if I stayed there and it seems pretty easy. All I need 2 know is how 2 get 2 Roppongi, Shibuya and Shinjuku, lol. How much is the hotel since ur staying there for like 20 days? Sugoi! Everything looks soo nice!
