Accomodation And Touristy Stuff

[drunkenmaster]

Toyota-city is boring me to tears so I am planning a couple of weekends away, one in Tokyo and one in Kyoto.

Has anyone stayed in Shinjuku and recommend any hotels in particular? I was thinking Shibuya but that is even more expensive than Shinjuku from what I can tell online, although I dont do this every week so I dont mind pay for a decent place in the mix of things.

Same deal for Kyoto, as well as advice on which sites are really woth seeing. I have about a weeks worth of sites to squeeze into one or two days so eliminating a few options would be a great help.

Thanks guys

i would also suggest a hostel if you are gonna sleep as they are pretty cheap and got some nice info you can use.... there is one near harajuku in yoyogi park there. kinda in between harajuku and shibuya so shopping and night life is only hop skip and jump away.

dunno about kyoto.

Shinjuku - nice memories especially when the sun sets.
