The best areas

Shinjuku

Trains everywhere from the world's busiest station, late-night food and bars, and hotels at every price. A favorite first-time base.

Hotels in Shinjuku

Ginza and Tokyo Station

Central, calm at night and easy with children, with the Shinkansen at Tokyo Station for Kyoto.

Asakusa and Ueno
