Ryokans in Shibuya ?

[sleep_oner]

So I am going to Tokyo at the end of May anyone know if there are any Ryokans in Shibuya or Harajuku ? We are two people looking for a place to stay that's anywhere $45-$60 a night.

I dunno if there are any kind of authentic "Ryokans"

in those areas. Ryokans tend to be in the more country

or less-metropolitan areas of Japan. For that reason, you'd prolly

have better luck finding a business hotel as there are shitloads

of those in the Shibuya, Shinjuku and Harajuku area.

How far is akihabra from those areas ? I found one there but not sure how far it is from everything.

Ahh, Akihabara.

Otaku palace.

That place scares the shit out of me sometimes.

You got these boyz n' girls in costumes, yakuza folk,

and the otakuboyz with their paper bags and long ass hair. The thing about

Akihabara is that if you're looking to buy some electronics,

then that would be the place to be. Recently, the price differencial

between Akihabara products and those sold at other cities

isn't all that different. The Akihabara shop keepers, though, seem

to be more willing to negociate with the prices.

Shibuya-ku isn't all that far from AKihabara.

I'd say, about alittle under thirty minutes on the

Yamanote line.
