Top choice in Around Tokyo


A few steps south of Motomachi port, this hip hang-out has sunny capsule dorms with partial sea views, and smart private rooms with a fridge, safe and TV – try to bag the one with a balcony facing the ocean and Mt Fuji. There's also a simple bar-cafe for cocktails, coffee and comfort food like curry udon (from ¥800).
