Tama is a Tokyo ryokan in Shinjuku providing basic accommodation for travelers on a budget. It is about 3 minutes walk from the Yamanote line and literally seconds from the Tozai metro. It is also convenient to the Internet - we have a 24-hour customer lounge with one desktop computer for free e-mail and web browsing, and wireless access throughout the hotel.
The Takadanobaba neighborhood offers a splendid variety of cuisine: Indian, Thai, Italian, French, Cambodian, Nepali, Burmese, and others, with some cheap lunch-special prices. See Tokyo Food Pages for more details than we can possibly supply.
Other neighborhood attractions include a movie theater (not too common in Tokyo), and an English-language bookstore, the Blue Parrot. There are also several hangouts popular with the gaijin crowd, most notably The Fiddler, a British-style pub with cheap beer, live music and no cover charge most nights of the week, and Ben's Cafe, a New York-style cafe and bistro, with free internet access.
