The choice of accommodations in Tokyo is as vast as the city. Which, may I remind you, is the largest in the world. A frightening amount of hotels, guest houses and “special accommodations” are scattered over an extremely huge area.
\nForget about finding, quote, “a centrally located hotel from which to walk\/easily get around the city” as you would probably seek in others capitals such as Copenhagen<\/a><\/strong><\/span> for example.<\/p>\n

First of all, forget the central location because… Tokyo does not have a center! It is a cluster of neighborhoods that form a sort of center. A center that, to go from one side to the other takes, require about an hour. By train.
\nAnd imagine in such a large space, of a capital city that sees a substantial influx of not only tourists but also business travelers, how many hotels there are! And in fact, one of the most frequent questions about Japan<\/strong><\/a><\/span> that I get asked is exactly where to sleep in Tokyo, and so I decided to gather in this article a bit of recommended accommodations and to give you some useful advice in choosing accommodations to better decide where to stay in Tokyo<\/p>\n

Things to consider when choosing where to stay in Tokyo<\/h1>\n

I would like to emphasize that all the accommodations listed have been personally tried or visited by me, or recommended by people I trust, that’s why is only a limited number.
\nFor this very reason, I want to give you useful information to find other hotels perhaps more suitable for you than my suggestions, and not be disappointed with your choice.<\/p>\n

Choosing the area<\/h3>\n

The best neighborhood to sleep in Tokyodepends on your needs and your travel style.<\/p>\n

Shinjuku<\/strong><\/span> is often suggested as the best area to stay in Tokyo, and it is also the one where I have also often stayed in my previous travels. It is logistically very convenient<\/strong>, both for getting around within the city and for excursions from Tokyo<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. Most of the buses to Mount Fuji<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>then leave from Shinjuku and almost all the night buses<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, but it is also the perfect area for those who want to enjoy the evenings without having to worry about missing the last train (which is around midnight).
\nOf course, Shinjuku is huge, it’s very easy to get lost in the station looking for the exit and it’s really always full of people at all hours, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy this experience of megalopolis chaos! There are several good accommodations here, especially towards Nishi-Shinjuku near the Government Palace, but also many love hotels that often offer great rates for normal-stay reservations (children not allowed).<\/p>\n

However, if you prefer a more local atmosphere and lower prices<\/strong>, Asakusa<\/strong><\/span> is the place for you! Not only will you find plenty of super nice hostels, guesthouses, and cheap but very nice hotels, but you will have the opportunity to go out for a walk at night and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the illuminated Sensoji with far fewer crowds! The choice of local eateries and value-for-money izakaya is extensive, and Asakusa is well connected to both airports by Keisei trains. It is perhaps a bit more inconvenient for getting around from the city (except to go to Nikko), but for visiting Tokyo it is still a very good location.<\/p>\n

The area of Tokyo Station, Ginza, and Shinbashi<\/strong><\/span> is what we might consider the center of Tokyo<\/strong> as far as getting around is concerned: from here you can get everywhere in relatively little time. It is the area where the higher-priced, higher-category hotels<\/strong> are located. If you are traveling on a budget, you will find little in this area, but perhaps it might be an ideal solution to indulge in a night’s passing, perhaps the last before your return….<\/p>\n
