For most first-time visitors to Tokyo (東京), the best areas to stay are Shinjuku (新宿), Shibuya (渋谷), Asakusa (浅草), Ginza (銀座) and the Tokyo Station area (東京駅). Shinjuku is the strongest all-round choice for transport and evening life; Asakusa suits travellers who want a calmer, more traditional setting; Ginza and Tokyo Station work well for comfort, centrality and short multi-city itineraries.
Tokyo is vast, but choosing a hotel near a useful station matters more than trying to stay beside every attraction. You will use trains and the metro frequently, so prioritise a location within a short walk of a station, then choose the atmosphere, hotel style and budget that fit your trip.
