Where to Stay in Tokyo

Where you stay in Tokyo will shape your experience more than you think. Not because of the hotel itself - but because of the location.

What to prioritise - SKAL ÆNDRES

The most important factor is simple: Stay close to a major train or metro station.

This will save you time, energy, and a lot of unnecessary walking throughout your trip.

Choosing an area - SKAL ÆNDRES

Different areas offer different vibes:

• Shibuya - energetic, central, and full of life

• Shinjuku - extremely convenient with great transport connections

• Asakusa - quieter, more traditional, and slower paced

Each of them works well for a first trip.

What to expect - SKAL ÆNDRES

Hotel rooms in Tokyo are often smaller than what you might be used to. That’s completely normal.

What you get instead is efficiency, cleanliness, and great organisation.

Personal note - SKAL ÆNDRES

I personally prefer staying in neighbourhoods with a bit of life — cafés, restaurants, and small streets just outside the door.

It makes everything feel more connected and less like you’re just passing through.

The idea

You don’t need the perfect hotel. You need the right location.
