Minami-Senju, Tokyo. The photo is of a street near my hotel. There are many cheap hotels in that area. The cheapest place is New Koyo for 2500yen/night. However, I would strongly discourage anyone staying there. The place is dirty and dark (looks like a prison), lots of weirdos, always a line for showers, and the worst of all, the host has a bad temper! As an alternative, New Azuma is only a few minutes walk from New Koyo and is only slightly more expensive. At 2700yen/night. It has fewer rooms, so less crowd. Simply much better atmosphere for my taste. And the old man and daughter at the counter there are very nice. Both places speaks English, by the way.
