EVENT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW! Speeding Over to Ibaraki on the Tsukuba Express & Checking Out Makabe's Hinamatsuri Festival!

The JAPANKURU team loves a little off-the-beaten-path excursion, and when it's a day trip just outside Tokyo, that's even better! Which is why we hopped on a Tsukuba Express train in Akihabara this week to head over to the Makabe area of Sakuragawa City in Ibaraki, still composed mostly of old-fashioned buildings, all in the foothills of nearby Mt. Tsukuba. While the hundreds of historic buildings and dozens of national tangible cultural properties are beautiful year-round, Makabe turns from a sleepy village into a bustle of activity for Hinamatsuri Festival every year, so we went to check it out!

[Where to Stay in Tokyo / Accommodation] Best Price Hostel near Akihabara Tokyo "GRIDS TOKYO ASAKUSABASHI"


We love checking out some of the newly opened 
hotels/hostels/ryokans, etc. here in Japan.
Month by month it seems like Tokyo alone is opening all these new accommodation places to get ready for the Olympics.
With the newly updated goal/estimate of 40 million foreigner visitors by 2020,
it's easy to understand why all these hotels are popping up.

That being said,
we want to see these places and give people the best info
to make their lives easier when they come visit★


This time we went to a hotel and hostel in Asakusabashi.
