Let's visit Tokyo hotels

I'm researching hotels in Tokyo and just loving some of the wonderful Engrish:

Blue Wave Inn Asakusa Description
Forgetting it is shallow the grass where the roman which was applied breathes even now. Amenity of the city and the ideal hotel which has silence.This is the place to be when you are in search of peace of mind, far away from the hustle bustle state.

I may have to stay at the Blue Wave Inn just to experience this feeling. I'm not so sure about the Day Nice Hotel, though. It seems kinky:

Try the Keio Plaza. No funny Engrish there though

I'm looking for something convenient to transportation where they can deal with tourists speaking broken Japanese. I'll be mainly visiting Tokyo Disneyland and then going to the Nagoya area to visit a friend.

but

1) It's expensive.
2) The surroundings are solid concrete and skyscrapers.

It seemed perfectly respectable, just an average, middle-class hotel. It's on the Tozai subway line, which I THINK runs to Tokyo Disneyland. You're also a short cab ride away from the Hakozaki Bus Terminal, which is where you can catch the express bus to and from Narita Airport. (Two years ago, it cost 3,000 yen, or slightly less than $30 for the 40-mile trip. The train is cheaper, but not as handy for this neighborhood.)

The neighborhood has an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that it's not a touristy area, so you will see how average working and middle class Tokyo residents live. There are interesting little stores, street stands, a neighborhood shrine that has festivals and flea markets, and mom and pop restaurants. The bad news is that you won't find much English spoken. However, every Japanese person under 60 has officially had English in school, and they often understand simple printed English better than spoken English. Take along a Berlitz phrasebook, because they have sections where people can point to Japanese phrases to get their meaning across.

I stayed (for a full month) in an apartment hotel called the Tokyu Stay.

If you're going to Nagoya, you will need to make your way to Tokyo (Central) Station. Get on the Tozai subway line westbound, get off at Otemachi, transfer to the Marunouchi Line, and go one stop to Tokyo. Look for the Shinkansen "bullet train" ticket area. Signs within the stations are bilingual, so you can always find your way around.

By the way, I'm not sure why you're going to Nagoya, but it's one of the less interesting cities in Japan. Go on to Kyoto and Nara for sure. You should get a one-week Japan Rail Pass, which will cover the cost of a roundtrip on the Shinkansen between Tokyo and Kyoto, as well as a stopover in Nagoya and any other JR (national railroad) trains you care to ride, including the surface commuter trains in Tokyo and Osaka.

You have to get the Japan Rail Pass before you leave the States. The travel agent gives you a voucher, and you get it converted to a pass at one of the major train stations or Narita Airport. You can even use it for the JR train (not the Keisei line train) between Narita and Tokyo Station.

If you have any more questions, please PM me. I love to advise people on their trips to Japan!

I wasn't actually considering the Day Nice Hotel but you make it sound kind of interesting. Maybe I'll give it a go. I speak enough primitive Japanese to get by--or at least I've demonstrated that I can communicate with Japanese people who speak English as badly as I speak Japanese.

I'm going to Nagoya because I have a friend in the area and want to visit her. We may also swing down to Kyoto but don't want to attempt too much in one trip. Maybe a trip to Nikko to see temples...

sorry, for a second i had a thought of the capsule hotel, really freaky place, reminds me of what cheney and halliburton want non-rich ppl to live in

Try reading the subtitles of fansubbed Japanese anime. (Still, it's better than dubbed anime :P)
