If you're looking for a ryokan in Tokyo, Sawanoya looks good at around 5000yen/single. Near Ueno station so straight shot from NRT on the Keisei line. Classic budget ryokan with tatami rooms, futon, japanese bath etc.

Disclaimer: I have not stayed here before (we have our own place in the Tokyo area so no need for hotels) but it looks good.

Sayonara Kabukiza!!!  Tokyo Iconic Home Traditional Kabuki Darma going Demolished for build new 49 Story Building

Would you've enjoyed it if you had gone?

You do understand that only Kabuki-za will disappear, not kabuki performances, from Tokyo. My regret was for the passing of a grand old Ginza landmark, not kabuki itself.

Like I said earlier, this is Japan - kabuki is far from extinct and there are plenty of kabuki fans especially recent converts due to a new kabuki "prince" - Ichikawa Ebizo
The Japanese love to anoint "princes" aka enka prince (Kiyoshi), golf prince (Ryo-kun), this-prince-n-that-prince etc.

If you want to catch kabuki in Tokyo, there are other places to do so e.g. National Theater (near the Hanzomon line near Tokyo Sta.) and and the Shinbashi Enbujo.

If you like culture, you might be interested in other Japanese traditional art-forms e.g. Noh, Bunraku, Rakugo/Manzai etc as well as musical performances such as taiko drums, shakuhachi, samisen etc

if budget no issue - take N'EX. around JPY3000. if you yet to have SUICA pass then take the NEX/SUICA promo
SUICA & NEX Package

else take the express train. around JPY1050 - to Ueno/Nippori

ok guys, we should start planning for another gath. AirAsia X is coming.

where got the cheapest accomodation in Tokyo?? T_T

Hi Psy,

Yes, its 2700 yen per room per person, but if you wan to add 1 more person into the same room, then have to add another 1000 yen.

I've read a comment from a japanese lady staying there that she doesnt dare to go out at night because the neighborhood is not so good.. izzit like Puduraya in KL? 

I wasn't being defensive. I merely stated. defensive would be me attacking and whatnot - which btw, I tend to be good at. Efficient, maybe not, but good.
