Asakusa is the recommended district to stay for low budget travelers with its wealth of inexpensive hostels, dormitories, budget ryokan and small hotels. It is also a great location for those looking for the old fashioned feel of Tokyo. Located a few subway stops off the Yamanote Line, it is neither the most convenient nor an inconvenient base for exploring the city.
