Tokyo Accom - 4 in a room?

[TurningJapanese]

Hello everyone

I have just joined this forum after much frustration trying to get information from the internet and travel agents. This seemed like a good place to get the information I need from people in the know!

Besides having always had a facination with Japan, I am also planning a holiday to Japan for some clients. I am having difficulty finding hotels in Tokyo (walking distance from all the nightlife) that will sleep 4 people in 4 separate beds in the one apartment/room. They don't all need to be sleeping in the same actual room, but in the same apartment/room number if that makes sense.

It needs to have western style bathrooms as well.

I have been able to find hotels that sleep 3 people in 3 separate beds, but not 4.

I got told by one travel agent that this doesn't even exist - surely this can't be true!!

Any help would be fantastic, and thank you in advance!

Four separate beds in one hotel room? That doesn't even exist in the US, unless you want to rent a presidential suite.

Your best bet is to look at ryokan or traditional Japanese inns. There you can have a larger group stay in one room (they'll sleep on futons) It can be a little expensive, but cheaper than individual rooms.

Thanks MMM, I can stop looking now for something that doesn't exist!

Here in Australia you can get hotel suites with two bedrooms (sometimes even 3 bedrooms), two beds in each room. I need the 4 separate beds because I can't have any of the clients sharing a bed.

I'll have a look at the ryokans as you suggested, I know a little bit about them but am sure i'll find threads pertaining to that on this forum.

Have just been having a bit of a look around the some of the different threads here. Being an adopted Korean brought up in Australia, I have found some of the views and opinions both eye opening and amusing!

Thanks again :-)

In Japan any larger group usually stays in a Japanese style room with as many futons as they want. Sometimes there are two "rooms" that can be split. But it`s always tatami and futons.

I think it will be very hard, if not impossible, to find 4 beds in a single room/suite.
