Tokyo, Yamaya, Backpackers in Tokyo

The “Yamatani” area, once known as the “workers' town,” is now about to be transformed into a hub for foreign travelers. Word of mouth has spread about the inexpensive 2,500 yen per night simple lodging, and now there are even lodgings where 90% of the guests are foreign nationals. French people are crazy about Japanese youth fashion. An Englishman says Akihabara is his mecca. Accompanying foreign tourists who tour Tokyo while sleeping and waking in a room of only 2 tatami mats, we will explore the charms and wonders of Japan that Japanese people do not see.
