There’s also self-catering facilities, a comfortable lounge and no curfew for backpackers who like to party hard.

Situated in Asakusa, it’s a pleasantly peaceful base after a long day of sightseeing but close enough to all the major sights, shopping and nightlife to still be really convenient. Overall, a big thumbs up!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20095 A tale of two airports http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19924
Narita may be accessible but Tokyo’s city centre is anything but from Narita. A little known gem of trivia is that the two are almost 2 hours apart (!); and a taxi (of any kind) is ruinously expensive (over £200). Important tip then: if you’re not a CEO, take the train. It’s quicker, infinitely cheaper and unsusceptible to the horrors of Tokyo traffic.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19924 Tsukiji Fish Market http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19923 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19923 Beige Tokyo http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19922 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19922 Faster than a speeding bullet... http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19921 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19921 The Park Hyatt http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19920
The only problem with the Park Hyatt is its location – Shinjuku is good for business irrefutably (it’s the Financial District) but it’s also fairly dull.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19920 The Conrad Tokyo http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19919 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19919 Eating at Fukuzushi http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19918 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19918 Steaks in the sky http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19917 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19917 Xex appeal http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19916 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19916 Letting your hair down http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19915 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19915 Four Seasons Hotel, Tokyo at Marunouchi http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19914 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19914 Hot and tired - and have a few hours before your flight? http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19913 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19913 Don't forget Narita town! http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19912 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19912 Take a coach and save time http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19911 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19911 Take the bullet... it's not as complicated as you think http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19909 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19909
