Bit of a tripadvisor type question really, however you guys might spring some fresh ideas to our current problem.

Mrs NH is heading out to Tokyo for 4 weeks early in the new year doing research at National Cancer Centre in Ginza.
She would pick one of the most expensive places to be based :0

We have no real support in terms of accommodation deals/ suggestions from the japanese side, and NHS being NHS, (and rightly so) have limited funding, given already contributing to flight costs etc.
Question is; would you expect much leeway on rates for a 4 week stay.
Anyone recommend a furnished apartment route? (company who provide such things). We are out there in couple of weeks, so will have opportunity to look into some options etc. Main thing we need to consider she will be on her own..

Any thoughts gratefully received.

Travel agents / tour operaters in Japan can't offer apartments as you need as it is regulated completely differently (get used to Japan and the regulation!)
Ginza is cool, we have a deal witht he Hotel Villa Fontaine group and they have a really good place in Shiodome (the end of Ginza) and they are very resonable, if not great breakfasts.
Can you PM me on Tuesday when I am back in the office and I will see if we can get long term rates for you. Otherwise try Sakura House, there are others but bottle of wine isn't helping me switch back into work mode!

nice thinking

We've often used Oakwood Apartments in Tokyo which I really like. Though partly the reason is because one is very close to our base in Roppongi. I'm not too sure if they have them in Ginza. The minimum stay is usually four weeks so you should be fine there. They have everything you need for a longer stay and are always very tastefully done out.
