Takeshi's place is an ideal spot to explore Tokyo for the first time. It is in a quiet neighbourhood that is easily connected to the metro meaning you can be in the centre in 10 minutes and shinjuku/shibuya within 25. The room is authentic, clean and the hosts are readily on hand if you have any problems. The room is situated above an intimate saké bar, so if you're travelling alone there's plenty of opportunity to meet folks. I would definitely recommend staying here!
