Asia - hotel/ b&b

hi all, i have a r/t ticket from aa to travel to osaka japan. can any one help to find a reasonable price for a place to stay in osaka ($30-40)range. any help greatly appreciated.

I'd be very surprised if you can find anything in that price range with people who speak English. Do you speak Japanese?

You do not specify when you will be there nor how long. Is this your first time there? Are you going to travel while you are there? I would like to steer you in the right direction if I knew more about your plans.

You'll find better variety for budget accomodation in nearby Kyoto (and Kyoto is a lot more interesting). However, here are a couple of places in Osaka in your price range.

You may want to invest in a Hostelling International membership

and pick up a copy of Lonely Planet Japan and Lonely Planet Kyoto.

I almost hate to mention it, but you may also want to ask on rec.travel.asia or on the so-called Thorn Tree bulletin board at the Lonely Planet site.
