Nishi Tetsu Inn Shinjuku 西鉄イン新宿 near Nishi Shinjuku station, Japan travel information

 The Nishi Tetsu Inn or "west rail inn" is reasonably priced and conveniently located almost right outside the Nishi Shinjuku station. The Nishi Shinjuku station is only one station after the very busy Shinjuku station.

The hotel is so convenient and literally outside the station, it only took one minute walk to the lobby. We highly recommend this hotel to people who just arrived in Japan for the first time, and need a hotel that is very close to a convenience station. Specially if you are arriving at night and tired, this hotel is very easy to find.

We used the hotel as a touch base point when we landed in Tokyo. And headed to Hakone the very next morning via Shinjuku station's Odakyu Romance Car. 

The Shinjuku station is so crowded and the place was so large it was very difficult to find the right exit and entry points, we preferred Nishi Shinjuku station. 

Just like all other Japanese hotels, this place is small by American Standard. It may even be a bit cluster phobic with all your luggages and two people. Nevertheless, it is a good hotel that is convenient, reasonably priced even during the Japanese New Year's, and clean.
