Travel: Japan - General

Value for money accomodations in Japan in convenient locations.

Stayed at 2 of their inns, and it's good value. Breakfast and curry rice dinner provided; coin-operated washing machine, internet terminals. Check it out. (Note that prices are per room, so 8000 for double means 4000 per person).

Hi Mckenzy


Thanks for your advice. I have checked with the Prince's singapore sales office and the salesperson insisted that I have to book two rooms. Even with room as big as 46sqm, which comes with a rollwaway bed, she insisted the second child will have no place to sleep. Sometimes can;t understand why they can't just be more flexible.

How old are your kids, if they are below 11, u can try the B hotels eg. B ikebukuro.. Kids can share bed for free.. they have packages for discounts too. http://www.ishinhotels.com/en/child/index.html

Hi Mamemo


We also stayed at the Ichinoyu Honkan while in Hakone! The private hotspring bath in the room was fantastic but how I wish we had gotten the ground floor one. Did you manage to book that?

I didn't book the one at Honkan, I booked Shinanoki Ichinoyu: http://english.ichinoyu.co.jp/shinanoki/index.html

Yes, I booked the ground floor room !
Wow, I'm looking forward to it !

Hi mamemo,

How's your stay at Ichinoyu Shinanoki? I'm thinking of booking it for my trip. Hope you can give some feedback.

Thank you.

Could someone tell me the type of travel adaptor charger / socket plug to bring for re-charging of handphone/camera.


Can describe or post picture of same please?

Thank you.

Not the best quality (its a gift from NTU as you can see)... but it does the job.


As sashimi once mentioned... buy a good one... can last you a long time...

most important is your power adapter.. make sure it has variable voltage (e.g. 100-240V)
