QUOTE(asiahost @ Jun 24 2019, 11:48 PM) Hi.. i am travelling to tokyo.. reaching at 1030pm and departing 12am from tokyo to kl.. just wandering on how to spend from the checkout time till evening as check out time to 12am is quite a gap... Apprecite advices and experiences.. thanks in advance You can actually have a whole day itinerary by checking out early and starting your day early. You can take the Keikyu Line or Monorail and arrive by 9pm at Haneda. Rest of the hours could be spent wandering around Haneda as there is an Edokoji on the 4th floor for you to walk around There is a also a plane watching observation deck on the 5th floor. So don't worry about getting bored at Haneda. I personally prefer Haneda better than Narita because its much closer to the City centre, so you can actually afford to leave town much later for the airport. Btw, does anyone know why are there no Limousine buses from the city after 6:30pm to Haneda. Buses only resume after 9:15 pm earliest. I prefer the limousine buses because I don't need to lug my luggage on the bus compared to on the trains. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Jun 25 2019, 05:28 PM

QUOTE(issac96 @ Jun 24 2019, 11:08 PM) Hi guys, I'm looking for cheap one-night stay accommodation in Japan, what are the choices out there to search for, apart from Airbnb? Thanks in advance... There's a Japan topic, please post/ ask here instead of opening new thread. Your question is too generic. You'll need to provide more details: - Budget (how cheap is your cheap? everyone have different benchmark) - Number of pax - Family/ friends etc

Lol.. their Double room is already err... cramped. I don't know how to describe the single rooms. :lol Biggest hotel I have experienced in Japan was at Daiwa Roynet in Numazu. I had an executive room where it had 1 king bed (very rare in Japan) and 1 double bed. There was also a proper executive work desk and a large massage chair. Toilet was separated into 3 rooms for bath, toilet and powder room. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Jun 28 2019, 11:59 AM

It's even common for travelers to open their bag on the bed as it can be *that* narrow. By Asian standard we find the beds small, imagine Europeans/ Westerners...

Their double bed is definitely not big . If you were to sleep with your partner, both of you better not move or you will definitely 'touch' the other person.

Thus i actually prefer futon. Probably no frame, which is why futon felt more spacious, although byright the size should be pretty much the same. Errr it's hard to not move at all ...then again, most of the time travelling is so tiring (all the walking) that one is often knocked out upon hitting the bed.

The thin mattress is not very comfy though. And it could get pretty cold sleeping on the futons during winter. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Jun 30 2019, 05:33 PM

And winter futon is the best - the blanket is super thick and comfortable. I've also slept in ones where there's hot water/ heating (system?) placed in blanket. The most comfortable ever. Where in the world were you sleeping in winter?

True that, coz they need to make way for bathroom. There's that convenience of having a toilet/ bathroom attached but trade-off will be the space. I'd choose attached ones over sharing toilet - as those usually ala Hostel style which freaks me out when I need to go in the middle of the night. Probably a little too much horror movie but i just can't help over imagining things
