Wondering where to stay in Tokyo? While there are numerous accommodation hubs dotted around the city, its best to find a hotel located close to a train station and preferably a train station where several trainlines intersect, as this will give you easier access to the various different areas you will travel to within Tokyo over the course of your stay. Some areas you might consider are:
Shinjuku is both a major train hub and a key shopping, restaurant and nightlife district. Choose a hotel near Shinjuku Station or Shinjuku Sanchome station for ease getting around.
Shibuya is another transport hub, with multiple hotels around the station and it’s shopping and nightlife district.
Ginza is a district with a more European feel, has multiple shopping malls and dining options. Choose a hotel near Ginza Station, Higashi-Ginza Station or Shiodome Station.
Ueno in the north of the city is a good option if you want to be close to numerous museums, a large park and an old-style market. It is also a gateway transport hub to side-trip areas like Nikko and Kinugawa Onsen.
