THE PRIME POD GINZA TOKYO (Note: Close on September 30, 2018)
“THE PRIME POD GINZA TOKYO” is in Ginza Duplex Tower 5/13 building 13 floors, a 1 min walk from “Higashi Ginza Station.” It is near to Tsukiji, Ginza and very easy to access to anywhere.
The rooms are all stylish with antique design and divided into “Standard Pod”, which is dormitory type and “Gran Pod.” The “Pod (room)” of the dormitory is wide and they are using “Serta”for mattress from Dream Inc. For guests to have comfortable sleep, they also restored air vent and silent curtain veil. Absolutely, they provide safety box, and the most attractive point is there is wall-mounted television in each Pods! It is attractive that guests can stay for minimum of 4000 yen with your own TV, and the dormitory are divided into male and female!
The “Gran Pod” can stay from 6000 yen. The rooms is divided into window and no window. As same as dormitory, they are using “Serta” for mattress from Dream Inc. There is only 3 rooms each in female and male floor, and the room is private space. It is separated by a curtain rather than a door. Personally, I recommend, “Standard Pod”, the dormitory type.
Lounge opens from 6am to 10am, and 17pm to 24am for bar time. At here, you can enjoy the view of Ginza and they provide simple foods. The public shared bathroom, laundry, locker and smoking area are also provided.

Wise Owl Hostel Hatchobori
Lobby
“Owl” is known as nocturnal animal. The “Wise Owl Hostel” was named because of the meaning, “Let`s play around Tokyo until night like owl”. The painted artworks on the outer walls and window glasses are worth seeing it! The whole outer wall is an image of the movement of the owls , and the inner wall is an image of human curiosity and behavior.
The room is divided into dormitory (Only female・mixed) and private room (for 2 and 4 people). Dormitory is suitable for traveling alone or business trip. The wood bunk bed that “Wise Owl Hostel” is particular about is calm and it makes you feel the warmth.
The private room that can book per room is good to share with your friends, couples or family. For those who want to find a place to stay near Disneyland, however, you feel that it is expensive around there, this “Wise Owl Hostel” in Hatchobori next to Tokyo station may be useful.
Private Room Double Bed
They are using Simons for bed mattress, and each rooms is equipped with a light to inform you the shower usage status. It is wonderful that they considered about the situation for guest easily to understand!
There is a bar “Howl” on the basement to enjoy concert and DJ, the “WISE OWL CAFE” and Dashi restaurant, “Local Sake・Oden・Sakana Fukuro” on the 1st floor.

There is also “Wise Owl Hostel” at Shibuya. The rooms are same, it just that restaurant and exterior are different to Hatchobori. It is quite far, about a 20 min walk from Shibuya station. However, there is not much reasonable places to stay around Shibuya, maybe it is suitable for those who want to stroll around at midnight for clubbing etc.
