About Tokyo
Full of contradictions, Tokyo overwhelms with its herded crowds, retina searing, hyperactive neon, incessant noise and unusual scents. In Tokyo things are either rooted permanently into the culture or exist for a fleeting moment: pop groups have a shelf life of a fortnight while sumo traditions are conducted in the same place and way as they have been for centuries. Tokyo has the newest trends in everything, fashion, clubs, food - you can buy almost anything from 24 hour vending machines (which never seem to be out of order) and take naps any time of the day in your own capsule when you’re overwhelmed by all the karaoke, kabuki, temple visiting and space age shopping. Many of the best places to stay in Tokyo are within reach of all of these things!
TWELVE MILLION people live in this city, packed tightly into miniature apartments in the centre but in the suburbs there are still wooden houses along narrow streets ending at shrines or temples set in bonsai perfect gardens. All this and the trains run on time.
Where to stay - the different neighbourhoods
Tokyo is big and varied and where you stay will make quite a difference to any time you spend here. It’s useful to be close to a Yamanote Line station, or a subway station, but it’s nice to be able to walk as well.
- In the thick of everything the area around Tokyo Station is super convenient for travel, both within Tokyo and outside. We recommend one of the 4 Best Hotels near Tokyo Station.
- Close to the famous Tsukiji Fish Markets, Shiodome sits shiny and modern atop reclaimed marshlands overlooking the bay. Consider staying in one of the Best Hotels in Shiodome. You’re close to Ginza and there’s a lot of development going on here in preparation for the 2020 Olympics. Here try one of the 3 Best Hotels in Ginza.
- Awake all hours, Shinjuku’s skyscrapers are central and very well located for restaurants and shopping. We have three favourites here too, the 3 Best Hotels in Shinjuku.
- The ‘real’ shopping district, Shibuya, also feels like it’s busy all day and night. Colourfully lit with neon, this is an area of busy streets and high-rise buildings. You’re close to Harajuku and some of the city’s most impressive temples. If this sounds like you here are our recommendations for the Best Hotels in Shibuya.
- It’s not a stuck record, but Roppongi is also well located for shopping - especially Tokyo Midtown and Roppongi Hills, the difference with Roppongi is that it’s cosmopolitan and arty as well. Here's our list of the Best Hotels in Roppongi.
- If you’re looking for somewhere a bit quieter and less skyscraper-y, you might like Nihonbashi? There are still shiny office buildings, but this is where the city of Tokyo really started, and the area is still full of generations old businesses doing charming, old fashioned sorts of business, like selling fabric, seaweed or fans. Here we recommend the Best Hotels in Nihonbashi.
- Of you could try East Tokyo, which is where you’ll find some of Tokyo’s most traditional neighbourhoods, winding streets, kimono stores, teashops and some of the city’s oldest temples. If this sounds like the right neighbourhood for you consider staying in one of the 3 Best Hotels in East Tokyo.
What Not to Miss
- You wouldn’t think a fish market would top so many lists of the best things to do in a city, but Tsukiji is right up there as far as places go. It’s dynamic, exciting and smells and tastes and sounds like the fantastic, traditional commercial hub that it is. And, just as the guides recommend, it is best to get there as early as you can.
- The gardens of the Imperial Palace certainly call you to them, located as they are in the centre of town. Close to the military museum, the science museum and the Yasukuni-jinja, which is a monument to Japan’s war dead.
- Then there are Tokyo’s temples, ranging from the grand and golden to humble wooden structures which are no less incredible for their age and the peace and tranquility of their grounds. Sens?-ji which is Buddhist and Meiji-jing? which is Shinto are Tokyo’s most visited temples, but the wonderful thing about Tokyo is that you’ll discover temples and shrines in amongst the skyscrapers - havens of historic peace.
- Then there are the gardens. Tokyo has numerous elegant, historic gardens, some established during the 16th and 17th centuries and still in much the same layout.
- The Edo-Tokyo Museum is a great place to get to grips with the city’s history.
- Shibuya, Ginza and Harajuku are where to come to see the city at its most youthful - and where to do your shopping.
- See the view from Tokyo Tower, the World Trade Centre building or the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building - which is free.
- Yoyogi Park is a great place to see modern Japan at its most lively, but of course Tokyo is a fantastic, colourful, neon hub in the evening.
- Try an onsen (hot spring bathing) at a local sento, or public bath.
- See the blossoms, or a sumo match - depending on when you visit.
- Visit the markets, take a boat ride, join in with a tea ceremony or try a martial art.
With so much to see and do and so much accommodation on offer that staying in one of the best places to stay in Tokyo is very much a matter of personal preference. Here are our Guru's suggestions:

Travel Information
- Narita and Haneda are Tokyo’s two international airports, Narita being the larger of the two. From there it’s easy to catch the Narita Express Train, which connects to all the major Tokyo stations. Haneda is closer to the city itself.
- If you want to hire a car we recommend you visit our online partner Rentalcars.
- Tokyo enjoys fairly temperate weather so there’s not really a bad time to go. Obviously blossom season in spring is spectacular, but autumn is very pleasant too. Summers are quite hot and humid.
