I am coming to Shizuoka December 24. I will be staying there until January 8th. I was wondering if any of your know a hostel, gaijin house or small hotel that would be inexpensive. I will be in Japan for almost 3 weeks and want to stay somewhere cheap, because I will be there for so long. Do any of you know a place or a few places that are cheap and maybe near the kaikan, where Nick lives.
