Whether you are looking for a budget-friendly hostel, a convenient hotel near our Tokyo campus, or a unique Japanese accommodation experience, there are plenty of options within easy reach of Genki Japanese and Culture School.

The hotels below have been selected for their convenient location, accessibility, and suitability for international students. Staying close to our Tokyo school in Shinjuku allows you to spend less time commuting and more time exploring the city, practising Japanese, and experiencing life in Japan.

Imano Tokyo Youth Hostel

Cheap shared dorm rooms, only 3 minutes walk to school!

Shinjuku Kuyakusho-mae Capsule Hotel

Staying in a tiny capsule hotel can be a fun experience if you're a heavy sleeper! Don't expect much luxury here, but the price is very cheap too. A 3-minute walk to school - very convenient!

Toyoko Inn

Slightly older, cheaper hotel in the slightly seedy Kabukicho area, although still walking distance to school.

Hotel Gracery Shinjuku

This is the hotel being menaced by Godzilla. Hopefully walls and windows are very strong. High quality and elegant design at affordable prices

AirBNB

AirBNB offers lots of options within walking distance of school, some at very affordable prices!

FAQs

All of the hotels recommended on this page are located within easy reach of the GenkiJACS Tokyo school in Shinjuku. Several options, including Imano Tokyo Youth Hostel and Shinjuku Kuyakusho-mae Capsule Hotel, are just a 3-minute walk from the school, while others are within comfortable walking distance. Staying nearby helps reduce commuting time so you can focus on your classes and enjoy exploring Tokyo.

The best hotel depends on your budget and travel style. For students staying a few weeks, Imano Tokyo Youth Hostel is a popular budget-friendly choice thanks to its affordable dorm rooms and location just three minutes from school. If you'd like more privacy, Hotel Gracery Shinjuku offers comfortable rooms and modern facilities within walking distance. Capsule hotels are also a fun and inexpensive option for travellers looking for a uniquely Japanese experience.

Hotels are ideal if you value privacy, flexibility, and the convenience of staying close to school. A homestay, on the other hand, offers a more immersive cultural experience, allowing you to live with a Japanese family, practise Japanese every day, and experience everyday life in Japan. If your goal is language immersion, a homestay is often the better choice. If you prefer independence or are staying for a shorter period, a hotel may be the best fit.

Yes. You're welcome to arrange your own accommodation while studying at GenkiJACS. If you prefer not to use the school's accommodation options, you can book a hotel, Airbnb, or other accommodation independently. The hotels recommended on this page have been selected because they're conveniently located near the Tokyo school and are well suited to international students.
