Arriving in Tokyo, we made our way to our hostel. The destination was the Khaosan Tokyo Annex Guesthouse. Getting there required us to travel by train from Narita Airport to Tokyo then getting our heads round the Tokyo subway lines and walking to the hostel.
For those booked into the Khaosan Tokyo ANNEX Guesthouse, do not believe the website which says that the Annex is located near the parent Khaosan Tokyo... NOT! So we ended up walking and walking and finally....

Room rates are US$17.50 per night. It's pretty reseasonable compared to the prices offered by other hostels. Place is convienently located near the Asakusa Station, it's clean, offers free use of internet, and if you have your own laptop, free wireless too. Only problem is that the walls which seperate you and the next room are cardboard thin, and also the walls don't go all the way up, so if you are on the upper deck of the bunk bed, you can peak into the next room. Which also means that if you set an alarm clock, you could effectively wake the whole floor up. And don't make too much noise... if not POLICE come ah!...
living room area.
The place is not dark and dingy, the lights were turned off,
coz i took this pic at 6am, before we left for the airport
yes, everyone can see you brush your teeth. but hair-dryers are available free for use
oh and there are no power points in the rooms, so if you need to charge your camera batteries, you gotta use the power points located above the sinks.
It's pretty safe to leave it to charge overnight, i mean come on, we are in Japan!
Robbery and violent theft is 2.71/100,000 compared to 169.02/100,000 in the US
With the low crime rates,
you gotta give the police something to busy themselves with right

The pics on the police catch you sign quite corny ey. Also, even though you have to brush your teeth in front of everybody, consider yourself lucky that the bathroom is not sento-style i.e. no partition between the shower/bathing area. Ho ho. Then you would reach new heights of friendship with your travelling companions.
Ah but onsen is good!
Well written article.
