CHOOSE YOUR BASE
A thousand little discoveries.
Find your own rhythm between Tokyo’s lively station districts and quieter neighborhood streets. Shinjuku suits travelers who want connections across the city; Ueno puts parks and museums within an easy walk. Leave room in your itinerary for small restaurants, independent shops, and an unplanned turn down a side street.
Which area fits your trip?
Shinjuku
A busy station district with shopping and evening dining. Compare the exact station exit and walking route to each property; a familiar station name can still cover a large area.
Ueno
Consider this northern base for Ueno Park, museums and the Ameyoko shopping streets. Choose which side of the station fits your plans before comparing otherwise similar rooms.
Asakusa
A base around Sensoji and the Sumida River suits a trip with time for temple streets and riverside walks. Check your connections if most of your plans are in western Tokyo.
Plan the journeys between
Map your first and last journeys as well as your sightseeing. Tokyo has multiple rail operators and large interchanges. With luggage, check the station exit, lift access and the final walk rather than relying only on distance to a station pin.
Before you choose your stay
For a small room, compare floor area, bed arrangement and luggage space rather than the room name. If several people are traveling, check the occupancy of every selected room. Ask the property about storage if you expect to arrive before check-in.
Choose your neighborhood before your room. Being near a useful rail station can matter more than being near a single landmark.
