For any grad students out there like me:
Yoyogi youth hostel has private rooms -- in fact, they ONLY have
private rooms. So while it's nothing like as comfortable as a hotel,
you can get a good night's sleep. It's something like 3000 yen a night
if you're a youth hostel member. You can find it at the Hostelling
International website.
I haven't checked the travel times to the conference, but I was there
for a conference before xmas; the venue was in Roppongi and it was an
easy commute.
The youth hostel itself is only 15 minutes walk from Shinjuku, and on
the edge of Yoyogi park so it's possible to do a little sightseeing by
foot from there.
