Fed up with the search from abroad and of seeing that red asterisk on gaijinpot, I am seriously considering going to Japan in March to job hunt. I was hoping if those who have stayed in a guesthouse could give their recommendations for good ones or a warning about the bad ones.

I�ve already checked various postings with links to different guesthouse websites and it�s been very helpful, but word of mouth can sometimes be a better source of info than a look at a website or two.

Info on places from 40 to 70,000 yen within a 30 minute train ride of the Yamanote Loop would be especially appreciated.
