is it worthwhile to get the membership? this trip i won't be staying there i think. and still have to go there physically to make the card, so not sure if it's worthwhile to get the membership for future use.

so far did you use many times?


it is worth it if u are staying on a sunday coz there is 20% discount. the 20% discount would probably more than offset the cost off the membership (1500yen).
u can always apply on the spot when checking-in and enjoy the discount immediately.
I usually stay in toyoko-inn when in city areas. so I have already clocked more than 30 days of stay

i mainly want to take advantage of the 6-mth advance reservation for members but ya dunno when i will actually stay there.

i like their shinagawa location but their branches in kyoto/osaka don't seem so convenient. not familiar with the other prefectures. are their locations in hokkaido near stations convenient for travelling?

most of the toyoko inn are near the main station. e.g. Hiroshima, Kumamoto, Sendai, Wakayama, Tokushima


Sapporo got 3 toyoko inn near JR Sapporo. Asahikawa one is also near JR

Yup I tried booking direct. The problem is that they only have the option of check in date followed by no. of nights which the maximum is 7. Don't exactly like the idea that I may have to be at the hotel to check in and check out on the same day into a diff room if I were to do booking twice.
And yeah twin is the preferred choice (which is what I got on airbnb haha). Didn't know about the 3months issue... My dates are 15oct-23oct. Is it 3 months exact or for the whole of next 3 months? 😳

Book 7 nights, then book the additional 1 (8th) night. They will automatically put you in same room when you check in. You won't have to check out check in again on the 8th day.

Hello. What is the fair average price to pay for a hotel in Kyoto and Osaka respectively please?


depends on how luxurious ur hotel.
can range from less than $50 for business hotels with shared showers, to few hundred for 5star ones.

suppose it depends on each individual. my personal threshold is to not cross the S$150 range for a room for two.

Sorry didn't state the parameters earlier. Say up to 15 sqm, near to train lines for ease of travel to major attractions area. Clean, fast wifi and comfy bed will do :)

Hi all,

Anyone stayed in Dai-ichi Hotel in Osaka before? Considering this hotel as the limo bus will stop here. Although it is quite costly for about S$160 per night ....or are there any other hotel recommendation where the limo bus will drop off and easy to locate?

Thanks for any advice!

hahaha "will do"? =:p

i think can find business hotels around 10,000 yen, probably smaller than 15sqm, the experts here can confirm ba.

haha my interpretation of your criteria is same as the previous range i quoted of s$150+/-, at least based on the places i stayed at like shinagawa prince, kyoto century.

In Osaka, you can stay as cheap as 2000 JPY apparently. Of course if you want to splurge, the sky is the limit. For me, a decent hotel that is family friendly and convenient will start around 8000 - 9000 JPY.

haha the criteria not very basic to be "will do" to me. =:p i don't consider those criteria to be an average hotel at least, probably above average but it's where i'll want to say too though!

when are you gonna travel anyway? i think rates are typically slightly lower in winter.

Hehe. I have allocated a range of 100 to 150 p.n. based on the various feedback given.

Thinking of nov, I know it's kind of peak season but I shall give it a try ! :)
