On October 30, the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan (inbound tourists) reached 20.05 million (announced by JNTO), surpassing 20 million for the first time. The government doubled the target number of inbound customers in March this year to 40 million by 2020, but it has become extremely common to see foreigners in Chuo-ku. On the other hand, a local friend who moved to Tokyo said, "I can't get a hotel, what should I do! 。 。 。 There are vacancies, but it's expensive and I can't stay at the company's prescribed travel expenses." I often go to Kansai and Hokkaido, which are popular among foreign visitors to Japan on business trips, but I certainly feel that it has become difficult to make reservations for hotels that have been set up recently.
I wonder if this is the case. It seems that the number of shared room-style accommodations with many beds in some rooms such as guest houses, mainly in sightseeing spots, has recently increased. How about in Tokyo? 。 。 。 When I searched, it seems that there are many guesthouses in areas such as Asakusa, Minami-Senju, Shinjuku, etc., but in Chuo-ku, where business passenger demand is strong, there are many business hotels such as Toyoko Inn, Super Hotel, and Apa Hotel, but I never heard much about guesthouses.
A while ago, the story of Toyomi Bridge and the novel "Onjuku Kasemi" ("Chuo-ku (Part 5)-Onjuku Kasemi-~ (/archive / 2016/11/post-3819.html) "), But on a sunny Sunday morning, across the Toyomi Bridge and across the Nihonbashi Bridge Name of Nihonbashi River. 
When you climb the stairs and open the door on the second floor, you will receive a reception. When I heard the story, it was still a guest house. As it opened in March 2015, I should have passed in front of me many times, but I didn't notice it because it was night and the appearance was like a normal office building. It seems that there was no introduction on the Chuo-ku Tourism Association blog yet, so I was in the middle of a walk, but decided to cover it.
Take off your shoes in front of the reception on the second floor and put them in a shoe locker beside it. Because it is locked, there is no mistake or loss of shoes that tend to be a large inn, so it is safe. The back of the reception is a shared lounge, which seems to be comfortable with the bright sunlight in the morning. There is also a kitchen that can be used freely by guests in the lounge, and at night it will be lively with a drinking party for exchanging information on a trip! 
The 1st, 3rd and 4th floors of a 5-story building are accommodation floors, with 86 cells (private rooms) as in the capsule hotel. There is no large public bath because it is an economy hotel, but you can sweat your trip in the shower room on the 5th floor (9 rooms)! 
In addition, there are washing machines and dryers (paid), as well as rentals of towels and yukata (paid). There seems to be a rental bicycle (600 yen a day), so I would like foreigners who are staying to visit the famous places in Chuo-ku by all means. 
In the novel, Onjuku Kasemi was an inn where people could stay with peace of mind due to the thick humanity of the people surrounding the master's Rukasemi, but in the inbound era Kasemi "Oak Hostel Cabin" seems to be a cozy stay.
