Weekly MansionsTopics: Accommodations, Travel If you are staying long term in Tokyo (or anywhere for that matter), have you considered a "weekly mansion"? These are smallish rooms (singles mostly, though family-style rooms for couples or even four or more are available) that include a "unit bath" (toilet/shower/bathtub combo), and a small mini kitchen with a fridge, sink, and one burner. You get a table, wardrobe, bed and TV also. These are great if you will be staying a week or more somewhere, as the cheapest (read most out of the way) locations will be as low as around Y25,000 for 7 nights, for a per-night stay of around Y3,000-Y4,000. I used the following company: Weekly Mansion Tokyo (http://www.wmt-osaka.com). I also found the places pretty foreigner friendly, with international phone card vending machines, English maps, and instructions in English. The bad part: you need to place a Y20,000 deposit that they apply to your overall bill. A bit cleaner and more private than a gaijin house or guest house.
