this room consider BIG at shinjuku area, other hotel like prince hotel, you can even walk if you put ur luggage there

if RM300 +- consider ok, shinjuku area is very very expensive

Info from www.myjapantips.com

A note to foreign travelers to Japan that JR East’s “Suica & N’EX” package that had been sold for the last few years will be discontinued on April 1st, with the final sales taking place on March 31st. The “Suica and N’EX” package allowed tourists to travel on the Narita Express from Narita Airport to Tokyo and receive a SUICA card for travel around the Tokyo area at a reduced fare. One-way and round trip packages, as well as standard and green (first) class accommodations were all available. However, JR East has decided to retire this option. My guess is either due to low use or because of the pending increase in the consumption (aka sales) tax in Japan.

In any case, JR East is now pushing it’s one-way “N’EX Tokyo Direct Ticket” which is a flat 1,500 yen fare in standard class from Narita Airport to stations in Tokyo. The new package does not include a Suica card, does not include a round-trip (the return fare has to be paid in full), and does not include Green Car accommodation (which also has to be paid in full).

More details on the JR East Web Site: http://www.jreast.co.jp/e/pass/nex_oneway.html

Depend road condition.  If holiday season...more than that.

Normally if bus start from Shinjuku at 10pm, then arrived Kyoto at 7am morning

Oh ok. Thanks for your reply.

Sir, I see people always stay at ryokan in Osaka or Kyoto. How about Tokyo? I'm going to Tokyo with my cousins. They say want to try ryokan in Tokyo or minshu.

Since Tokyo Ryokan is fully booked on the day that I want, now I'm looking for other alternatives....

1) Tama Ryokan (2 stations away from Shinjuku)

2) Taito Ryokan (Asakusa)
