Re: Sleeping in Shimokitazawa

However, on this [url=http://maps.google.co.jp/maps?hl=ja&q=category%3a%20%E3%83%9B%E3%83%86%E3%83%AB+-%E3%83%9A%E3%83%83%E3%83%88%E3%83%9B%E3%83%86%E3%83%AB+loc:+%E4%B8%8B%E5%8C%97%E6%B2%A2%E9%A7%85%EF%BC%88%E6%9D%B1%E4%BA%AC%EF%BC%89&radius=1.2427424&z=16]google map of the area, you can find some hotels close to the station. BUT, if you search a little carefully, you will find that those are in fact love hotels, not really suitable for the 2-weeks stay.

Same result is obtained from this [url=http://www.mapion.co.jp/phonebook/M05001/13112/0334666306-001/]mapion map (with distances to the station): forget about the love hotels and the capsule one, and there are virtually no option at less than 2 km...

Your best option might be to find a hotel around that Shibuya area, rather than searching for an accommodation specifically around the Shimokitazawa station...
