The Best Affordable Hotels in Tokyo

"Neighborhood: ShimokitazawaPrice: From $117 per night Nestled in the heart of the ever-so-trendy Shimokitazawa, Mustard embodies the neighborhood’s laidback vibe. Mustard acts as a meeting place for creatives to build community, create art, and hold performances. A fun bit of urban planning history is on display in the surrounding area: When officials buried the tracks of the Odakyu suburban metro line underground, a new opportunity arose to create more green space in an already cramped Tokyo. From there, the path from Higashi Kitazawa station all the way down to Setagaya Daita was created and is now home to shops, restaurants, and a handful of new hangouts." - Paris Wilson
