About Hotels in Tokyo
Tokyo is one of the world's most extraordinary cities, blending ancient tradition with relentless modernity. Explore the National Museum in Ueno, catch a sumo tournament at Ryōgoku Kokugikan, marvel at the Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, or lose yourself in the city's legendary ramen shops and Michelin-starred restaurants. Few cities on earth pack so much into so little space.
From grand luxury hotels in Shinjuku to intimate ryokan-style stays in Yanaka's atmospheric backstreets, Tokyo's accommodation scene suits every taste and budget. The city is superbly connected by the Tokyo Metro and JR Yamanote Line, making even distant neighbourhoods feel effortlessly close.
Where to Stay in Tokyo
Shinjuku
Tokyo's busy centre and the ideal base for first-timers. Steps from the Metropolitan Government Building, Shinjuku Gyoen, and a dizzying array of restaurants, with direct rail links to virtually everywhere.
Ginza
Tokyo's most prestigious shopping and dining district, home to flagship designer boutiques, celebrated sushi counters, and polished five-star hotels. Refined, central, and immaculately connected by metro.
Shimokitazawa
A bohemian village feel within the city, known for vintage clothing shops, intimate live music venues, independent cafés, and a creative, youthful crowd that gives it an entirely distinct character.
Yanaka
A quieter, old-Tokyo neighbourhood of traditional temples, independent craft shops, and family-run eateries. Excellent value, genuinely unhurried, and a world away from the city's more frenetic districts.
Airport and Transport Guide
Tokyo is served by Narita International Airport (NRT) and Haneda Airport (HND), with Haneda being the closer of the two, located just 14 kilometres from the city centre. The Keikyu Airport Line connects Haneda to Shinagawa and beyond in around 13 minutes, while the Narita Express (N'EX) links Narita to Shinjuku and Shibuya in approximately 90 minutes. The Airport Limousine Bus serves major hotel districts from both airports and operates late into the night.
Within Tokyo, the rail network — combining JR East lines, the Tokyo Metro, and Toei Subway — is among the most comprehensive in the world. The Suica or Pasmo IC card covers all lines, buses, and even convenience store purchases, making it the essential purchase for any visitor. Metered taxis start at ¥500 and are reliable but expensive for longer journeys. Uber operates in Tokyo, though local app GO is more widely used and often faster to hail.
Tips for Finding the Best Hotel Deal in Tokyo
- Book 8–10 weeks ahead for stays during cherry blossom season in late March and the Sanja Matsuri festival in May, when demand peaks sharply.
- Neighbourhoods such as Asakusa, Koenji, and Shimokitazawa offer noticeably lower nightly rates than Shinjuku or Ginza, with excellent metro connections throughout.
- Hotels offering breakfast add real value in Tokyo, where a sit-down morning meal at a café or restaurant can easily cost ¥1,500–¥2,500 per person.
- Book with free cancellation where possible — Golden Week in late April and early May causes demand to shift quickly and unpredictably across the city.
- Unlike many cities, Tokyo hotels often see stronger business demand midweek, meaning weekend rates can occasionally be lower at city-centre business hotels.
- Enrol in loyalty programmes with chains such as Prince Hotels or Hoshino Resorts, both of which have a strong Tokyo presence and offer member-only pricing.
When to Visit Tokyo for Lower Prices
Winter (Low Season)
December to February brings cold but dry weather and the lowest hotel prices of the year. The city is festive in December, and January is calm and uncrowded. Expect mid-range rates from around £70–£110 per night.
Spring (High Season)
Late March to May is Tokyo's busiest and most expensive period, driven by cherry blossom season and Golden Week. Hotels fill weeks in advance and prices surge. Book as early as possible to secure reasonable rates.
Summer (Value Season)
June to August is hot and humid, with a rainy season in June dampening demand. Prices ease outside of the Obon holiday in mid-August. A reasonable time to visit for those comfortable with the heat and willing to plan around crowds.
Autumn (Value Season)
September to November offers pleasant temperatures, spectacular autumn foliage in November, and prices that remain moderate after the summer peak. One of the most rewarding times to visit, combining comfortable conditions with good availability.
Popular Areas to Stay in Tokyo
Shinjuku
Tokyo's beating heart — home to the busiest train station on earth, department stores, izakayas, and Kabukicho. High demand keeps prices elevated, but the convenience for getting anywhere in the city is unmatched.
Marunouchi & Nihonbashi
Tokyo's primary business and financial district, directly beside Tokyo Station. Polished, well-connected, and quieter at weekends — ideal for corporate travellers who need swift access to offices and the Shinkansen.
Minami-Aoyama & Omotesando
Tokyo's luxury corridor, lined with flagship boutiques from Prada to Louis Vuitton, high-end restaurants, and sleek gallery spaces. Refined, walkable, and considerably more peaceful than the central entertainment districts.
Yanaka
A quietly creative old-shitamachi quarter that survived wartime bombing, preserving temples, independent craft shops, and art studios. Genuinely local in character and notably more affordable than central tourist hubs.
