Wise Owl Hostels Tokyo

Tokyo


This industrial-looking hostel ticks all the boxes, with a super-convenient location above the subway and a relatively short walk or taxi ride from Marunouchi and Ginza. A clever configuration of wooden-cubicle bunks makes up the dorms; private rooms have one bunk bed. There's friendly service, a coffee stand in the lobby, a DJ bar in the basement and an attached izakaya (Japanese pub-eatery) for food.
