Tokyo Hotels

The crown city of Japan is a study in contrasts, a sprawling city where ancient architecture meets ultra modern culture and Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines exist alongside sprawling shopping destinations such as Ginza and Takeshita Street. Visitors will find no end of Tokyo hotel options, from boutique inns in the Central District near the Imperial Palace to luxurious waterfront lodgings in the Minato Ward alongside Tokyo Bay in the eastern part of the city, many of which have majestic gardens and stunning rooftop views.

Tokyo Cheap Hotels Throughout the City

Without a doubt, the best deals on Tokyo cheap hotels are in one of the city's "Capsule" rooms. Although the accommodations are very small, they're clean, well-kept, and especially inviting for the budget traveler. Look for them around the Shibuya Ward, near one of the city's busiest railway stations, an area also known as the fashion center of Japan and a central location for eclectic nightlife, especially for young people.

Getting around the city from your hotel in Tokyo is a snap thanks to a comprehensive metro system and easy-to-find taxis. Shopping opportunities abound, especially along Omotesando near the Meiji Shrine—awash with high-end boutiques—to the trendy Shibuya 109. Be sure also to visit the Imperial Gardens at Sendagaya and Yoyogi Park, sight of the 1964 Olympic Games. And when your stomach starts to growl, endless dining options are available near all Tokyo hotels, from traditional udon and bento restaurants to luxe eateries specializing in sushi and Japanese beef dishes.
