Where to Stay For our Tokyo leg, we booked a room at Flexstay Inn Nakanobu. We had a hard time finding an affordable hotel in Tokyo but I came across this hotel one day. It's quite a walk from the Nakanobu subway station so the location isn't perfect but for the price we paid, it's still acceptable. you can also take the bus to Nishi-oi station if you want to take the JR trains. To book a room, click here . Notes: We started using our JR Pass when we started our Hiroshima leg. The directions you'll find in this post are suitable only if you are using a JR Pass.
