Caution:
Early booking is strongly recommended since the recent drastic increase of the number of tourists from East-Asian regions have caused a serious lack of accommodation in Tokyo metropolitan areas.
Alternatives for Graduate Students (who want cheaper accommodation):
- Tokyo Central Youth Hostel (only 3 min walking to the conference venue)
http://www.jyh.gr.jp/tcyh/e/price.html
- Tokyo Ueno Youth Hostel
http://www.jyh.gr.jp/ueno/english/index.html - Tokyo Sumidagawa Youth Hostel
http://sumidagawayh.net/index.html
For these Youth Hostels, booking for an individual or a small group use (up to 9 persons) starts from 3 months before the check-in day. For a large group use (more than 10 persons), booking starts from one year before the check-in-day. (This means that even if you want to book 3 months before the check-in day, it may be unavailable because of several groups' early booking.)
(In addition, Tokyo Ueno Youth Hostel do accept booking from a group use (more than 3 persons) alone.)
