Cheap Hotels in Tokyo - News

Land of the Rising Horse

Land of the rising horse Visitors to Japan can always find ways to mix traditional culture with activities that originated in the west, with the NHK Mile Cup in Tokyo being a prime example.

The race, held at the JRA Tokyo Racecourse, is run every May (exact date to be confirmed), with the 1,675 metre-long turf track hosting one of Japan's top races.

According to the course website, entry on a race day is cheap at 200 Yen (84p), leaving plenty of cash for a flutter at the bookies.

Those who fancy joining the crowds can access the course easily from central Tokyo by subway, which serves the venue via stations on the Keio Line and the JR Musashino Line.

Meanwhile, those staying in cheap hotels in Tokyo can enjoy a range of attractions in one of the world's largest urban areas.

Traditional attractions include Shinto and Buddhist temples, while those who prefer to view the spectacular modern architecture of the city can do so from the observation deck of the 333-metre high Tokyo Tower.
