A couple of years ago, I stayed at the New Otani Hotel in Kaihin Makuhari. About 30 minute train ride from Tokyo. I paid $125 a night, which included a nice buffet breakfast (choice of American or Japanese style). But
that was my corporate rate. Now, I think it
is $135 without the buffet. It is about $100
less than the New Otani downtown. Every day
after work (and in the morning when I wasn't
working) I hopped the train into Tokyo - not a big inconvenience. The hotel was GREAT!
