Tokyo offers the widest range of lodging choices of any Japanese city, including many international and domestic hotel chains, hostels, dormitories, capsule hotels and ryokan.

Shinjuku

Shinjuku is a very popular district among tourists to stay thanks to its convenient location and abundance of shopping, entertainment and sightseeing opportunities. Many excellent four and five star hotels are located among the skyscrapers on the station's west side, while many cheaper options are concentrated on the east side and around the Kabukicho red light district.

Asakusa

Asakusa is a recommended district to stay for low budget travelers with its wealth of inexpensive hostels, dormitories, budget ryokan and small hotels. It is also a great location for those looking for an old-fashioned feel of Tokyo. Located a few subway stops off the Yamanote Line, it is neither the most convenient nor an inconvenient base for exploring the city.

Tokyo Station

The Tokyo Station area is obviously a very convenient place to stay. Thanks to its central location, it is a convenient base to explore the entire city and offers easy access to/from Narita Airport. As the terminal station of multiple shinkansen lines, it also is the perfect base for long-distance day trips. Several four and five star hotels are located adjacent to or in the close vicinity of the station, but low budget options are not available.
