Local Accommodations in Tokyo
Finding a place to stay while visiting Tokyo
Tokyo is considered a major metropolis similar to London and New York and therefore offers an impressive and diverse selection of accommodations. In Japan, hotels range from first class, Luxurious Hotels - in either western or Japanese style; to the midrange Business Hotels, to the no-frills Budget Hotels including the uniquely Japanese capsule Hotels.
If you are looking for authentic Japanese accommodation experience consider Minshuku - the Japanese version of the B&B ( bed and breakfast) or the pension hotel, and the Ryokan - the traditional Japanese style inn or resort.
For longer term stays look for furnished serviced apartments specially prepared to cater to foreign visitors. Long term accommodations range from luxurious condominiums to conveniently located budget apartment rentals in Central Tokyo.
Accommodation in Tokyo will be your major expense and should not be considered lightly, since it will ultimately determine the quality and length of your holiday. Always consider accommodation within walking distance of a major train/subway station for easy and convenient transit access to all what Tokyo offers!
Finally, please study your Tokyo street and transit maps prior to arrival; you will not believe how enjoyable your trip will really become by prior study of the local train and subway system. This is the key to effective travel planning for Tokyo: select a point of reference for all your activities as your hotel and the nearest train/subway station. Enjoy!
