Japan

It’s the ultimate freedom trip: all your belongings strapped to your back, a guidebook in your pocket and a multi-stop ticket in your hand. But it’s not for the fainthearted: cockroaches, 20-hour train journeys and dodgy dorms is something the backpacker will have to get used to. Got any good advice for making this the most memorable of all journeys? Post them here, or see below for our readers’ best backpacking tips

Gues-T House

Posted by NinoheNick 29 October 2005

Gues-T House is a backpackers hostel in Azubujuban, SW Tokyo. I recommend it because it gives excellent value for money, and is in a fantastic location for seeing Tokyo.
One night - Y2,900 (c.£15)

Azubujuban Station - exit 4. Head up the road to the left of 'Wendy's' to a cross road (c. 200m). Turn left, and go down the road 'til you get to a park on your left. Look for a coffee bean shop, take a right and the hostel will be on your right, the same side as the coffee bean shop.
