	HIJ (Hackers In Japan) was an idea which is started by a few Japan fans. The primary idea is to do a nice trip with hackers from al around the world to Japan. Idea's to visit are: Akihabara, Tokyo trip, Hackerspace Tokyo, etc.

	~~==Low budget==~~
	Much of Tokyo's budget accommodation can be found in the Taito area, especially Asakusa and Ueno. But if you are not afraid of being a little bit off-center, you may have a look to the surroundings: Yokohama, etc.

	Do note that most of the cheap accommodations in the Taito area (near JR Minami-senjuu) have curfew times around 10 pm to 11 pm, so be sure to check that in advance if it bothers you. One hotel that does not have a curfew is [http://www.kangaroohotel.jp/ Kangaroo Hotel], rooms starting at ¥3200. A list of economy hotels in Tokyo is [http://www.e-conomyhotels.jp/list.html here].
	~~==Mid range==~~
	There is a wide range of choices in hotels while at Tokyo, most of the hotels are rated 3 stars or more. Tokyo is among most of the other cities when it comes to hotels because their services and hotel locations are the best of the best. Some hotels one should try are The B Akasaka Hotel, Peninsula Hotel, Tokyo Dome Hotel, Century Southern Tower Hotel, Shiba Park Hotel, Court Yard by MariottTokyo Ginza Hotel, Intercontinental Tokyo Bay Hotel, ANA Hotel, Mitsui Garden Hotel, Mets Shibuya Hotel. Of these hotels,they all have great city views. Most interestingly, Tokyo Dome hotel has an attraction right outside of it . Tourists can check in and have a whole day of fun at the amusement park and mall; best thing is, they can come back to their room anytime and relax after such an adventrous evening!

	Keep an eye out for what is called a business hotel. The rooms are usually tiny, but they are conveniently located near stations and rates start from around ¥6000. Staff may speak minimal English, but it's not too hard to figure out. These are the best options for solo travelers. Affordable chains found throughout Tokyo include Tokyu Stay , which offers free internet access and breakfast, and Sunroute .
	~~==Weekly mansions==~~
	“Tokyo Weekly Mansion” is the name of the company who operates about 20 of those “weekly mansions” in and around Tokyo, so it’s not just one location. The price seems to range in 3,000 - 6,000 yen per day if you stay for one week or longer (a bit of utility charges on top of that). I’d say it’s like a tiny studio with a kitchenette, equipped with everything but not enough to do real serious cooking or anything (I’ve stayed in similar set-up, though not from this company) From what I know from similar set-up and seeing that Tokyo Weekly Mansions seem to have reception desk at the entrance, I’d say it should be safe.
