IMANO TOKYO HOSTEL, Tokyo

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is 1 km away, Meiji Shrine is 2 km, and Haneda International Airport is a 50-minute train ride. The immediate area is full of restaurants, bars, and shops - Nabezo Shinjuku 3 Chome (0.5 km) and several eateries (0.5 km) are nearby. The neighbourhood is lively and central, making it easy to walk to all major Shinjuku attractions, though street noise can carry into the rooms. The walk to Shinjuku Station is about 10-15 minutes, and the closest metro station (Shinjuku-sanchome) is about 3-5 minutes on foot. This location is highly practical for those wanting to explore Tokyo's busiest district without relying on taxis.

Rooms are basic and functional, with air conditioning and heating. Dormitory beds are fitted with privacy curtains, reading lights, and plug outlets, but there is no shelf or personal locker near the bed for storing larger items - only a small space on the floor. The family room offers 4 bunk beds and a tatami area for a 5th guest, with a secure door lock and shared shower/toilet. Some rooms have a split-level layout, and all are non-smoking. The building has paper-thin walls and doors with loud electronic keypads that can be disruptive, especially at night. Light sleepers may want to bring earplugs, as noise from the corridor, adjacent rooms, and the common area travels easily. The mattress is thin, and some rooms have exposed pipes next to bunks. Separate floors for men and women provide added privacy in the dorm sections.

Breakfast is available for an additional 950 JPY and is a simple continental-style meal of toast, yogurt, and a drink, with rotating sandwich options (ham and cheese or chicken pesto). The café and bar area is open during breakfast, lunch, and cocktail hours, offering a welcoming space to work or socialise. Sides can include broccoli and wedges. A beer machine operates during happy hour (4 PM-7 PM). For guests who prefer lighter meals or are on a budget, convenience stores (7-Eleven and Lawson) are within a 2-minute walk. The bar is a social hub in the evenings, and the ground-floor space also hosts pop-up events on weekends.

Wi-Fi is free and available throughout the property. Luggage storage is free before check-in and after check-out until 10 PM, and the property can hold luggage for guests with another booking within a week. Laundry (additional charge) is available with washers and dryers, but there are only two of each for the entire building, leading to wait times. A common kitchen with a fridge and microwave is accessible on some floors. The front desk can assist with fax/photocopying (additional charge) and provides invoice upon request. Safety deposit boxes for small valuables cost 1000 JPY deposit or 200 JPY per use (larger size). Towels can be rented for 200 JPY, and disposable slippers are provided. Shampoo and body soap are available in the shared bathrooms. The property has a lift, CCTV, smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and 24-hour security. Pets are not allowed, and the property is entirely non-smoking with a designated outdoor smoking area. Accepted payment methods include American Express, Visa, Diners Club, JCB, Discover, and MasterCard.
