Located just a minute's walk from the new south exit of JR Sakuragicho Station , it has the highest rating of 4.72 on Ikyu's reviews! Room types include:

• Premium Double 21 m²
• Premium Twin 27 m²
• Premium Double (Universal) 25 m²

• From Sakuragicho Station , the New South Exit is the shortest route, but it is an IC-only ticket gate (tickets not accepted) and is open from 7:00 to 22:30, so it is not available in the early morning or late night hours.
• For tickets or early morning or late night travel, go to the South Gate West Exit
• If you are using Sakuragicho Station on the Subway Blue Line, take North Exit 2 or North Exit 3

• This time, my room was on the 5th floor. The reservation site stated that requests for a view were not possible, but I was wondering how they decide on room assignments.

• 5th floor, hallway. The guest rooms are on the 4th to 12th floors, so this is almost the bottom floor...

• Floor map. Reservations through Ikyu are for a "Superior Single Room for 1 person" for ¥8,900 - 445 points, effectively ¥8,455. Depending on the date, it seems you can stay for as little as ¥7,505.

Overall ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

There aren't many other accommodations with separate bathrooms and toilets for under 10,000 yen, and that are also relatively new. Traveling to Shinagawa via the Keihin-Tohoku Line takes about 34 minutes and costs 406 yen, with no transfers. You can often find a seat along the way, so I think it's a great value for money.

😄 Anyway, it's close to the station

😄 Separate bathroom and toilet is really relaxing

😄 The big windows are nice

😄 WIFI & Domestic Refrigerator that can be set up without a password via QR code

😄 1F Seijo Ishii, 2F Starbucks

😩 There is no convenience store nearby, so you have to walk a little across the traffic lights.
