From a traveller who has been to Tokyo a dozen times since the early 2000's. One of the best places to stay is in and around Akasaka-Mitsuke Station. You are pretty much central to most tourist spots in Tokyo (for a 1st time Visitor) and you are on direct lines with only 5-6 stops from many of the big locations like Ginza, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Tokyo Station, Ikebukaro etc. Easy access from Haneda and Narita and in a salary man location so lots of amazing eating locations including some of the best ramen spots in Tokyo, a massive supermarket nearby and cheap accomodation. As a bonus, Hie Shrine 5 mins walk away and you can walk to Roppongi in about 25 mins.

Ueno is the best location in Tokyo . Ueno station is where you have the yamanote loop line and also Shinkansen plus others local train and bus . , hundreds of restaurants , famously market Ameyoko , ueno park , the national museum….and lots more the most convenient area to go everywhere more than a Sakura , Shibuya….

Hi! It was nice running into you. Glad you liked your hotel! We loved the convenience of staying in Akihabara, but the Airbnb we stayed in was one of the worst ever. Narrow stairs with no elevator, restaurant smells wafting up, and in disrepair. Another family left as soon as they checked in. It would have been a better experience if we had stayed in a hotel! 🌸 Heidi

@KenshoQuest it was because of you guys I did alot of research after I decided which prefecture I wanted to stay in and came away with Apa. It was 5 minutes walking from the Akihabara station, had great amenities, close to a beautiful mini shrine, 2 minutes walk to that 7/11and allowed me to experience Akihabara. All of that was from your channel. I'm not a fan of Air BnBs but since I'm a solo traveler my accommodations can be smaller.

Critical NEED TO KNOW info. Next time I’m booking an apartment on Expedia. Everything was trial and error. I now know what I love to see again. What new things I want to see. Where to stay. What to book. Where to eat! How to navigate the trains. And I cannot WAIT to return to Tokyo next year for 6 weeks.

Very useful video. In November. 2023, I went to Japan with six friends who have never been to Japan. Our hotel stays for the first few nights were near Tokyo Station before heading to Kanazawa and Kyoto via Shinkansen. After having a wonderful time in Kyoto, we returned to Tokyo for five nights and stayed in Ginza. The area has many convenient subway access points, restaurant choices, and interesting stores like the Muji Ginza Flagship store and the Ginza Itoya stationary store. Everyone had a great time. Since I have spent numerous days in all the Tokyo Wards mentioned in the video, I am now more interested in staying in outer wards or away from the concentrated tourist areas and finding restaurants popular with local residents.

If you are walking distance from any station on the Yamonite line (green) you are golden. Good advice. The only thing I will add as an exception is if you have young kids and the main reason you are visiting Tokyo is Disney Resort stay close to the resort.

Excellent tips! The use of the "map" feature to book rooms is important if you are coming without a car, and need to be close to a station. Also I've used google to see what trains are going to the location I want to go and stay. Last April we went to the Tokyo dome. I googled "train from tokyo station to tokyo dome". It brought up the train to take (Marunouchi line- red color train) the train schedule, and what station to get off. This helped me with planning. Just an idea.

I think some folks are nervous with the scale of options with Japan but sometimes the budget franchises are great for solo travellers.

My first time there 5 years ago I stayed in Shin-Okubo (aka Korea Town) which I loved. On the Yamanote line, just one stop up from Shuinjuku, but more of a 'real' area, less touristy but interesting and very lively with loads of different food options, bars and shops, and walkable too. Maybe not the best area for a family perhaps, but for me on my own it was great. I'm not too keen on hotels but I found a cool self-catering motel style place on Expedia (Airbnb is pretty useless for Tokyo - alright for Osaka though) which wasn't expensive and was great for me on my own. So the next time I went, last year, I fancied doing something different so I stayed in a swish place in Roppongi - a sort-of hotel but the rooms were actually self-contained apartments with a kitchen, washing machine etc. It cost me a fortune but was nice, had a good balcony with a view of Tokyo Tower and was close to lots of attractions (like you've mentioned). However, for me it felt too upmarket and despite the nightlife (and there's better areas for that) it lacked that real, buzzy Tokyo vibe, so next time I go back I'll be staying in Shin-Okubo again!

Asakusa area is wonderful for the "Japanese" experience. Most of Tokyo is very modern & skyscrapper-ish, having been destroyed by bombing during WWII. However, Asakusa is very crowded (like Shinjuku and Shibuya). We actually ate at restaurants near the fringe of the neighborhood. You can get to the neighborhood via direct train from Haneda but not Narita. airport. It is not on the Yamanote line, so connections are a bit slower but I think this is the best location for first time visitors. My favorites are Asakusa, Ikebukuro, and Ginza. I haven't stayed in Ueno, but I imagine that would be good also. Young people will love Shinjuku & Shibuya but they are crazy busy.

The one you chose to book (Tokyu Stay) is an amazing hotel chain. I love that their selling point is the washing machine in every room as you won't have to hassle yourself by having to go down (or up in some cases) just to do your laundry, and even worse having to wait for some other guest to finish. The free coffee from 7 am to midnight is another bonus. However, their Ginza hotel has a steep price so I choose their Gotanda branch. Another interesting area with whole lots of restaurants and izakaya. Also is a station of the Yamanote line and Asakusa subway (with through connections to Keikyu/Keisei lines) so access won't ever be an issue. Not really the best if you have children though as there are some sex workers and pimps at night roaming around, and sometimes even attempting to tout you

Hi. Our videos about gluten free restaurants/bakeries are from years ago and some of them have closed already. Is there a certain city you are wondering about? A major thing to watch out for is soy sauce, since it contains gluten and is in so many foods. Most of the hotel breakfast buffets have little signs indicating common allergens (and it’s surprising how many foods contain gluten). If you eat at a diner style restaurant they usually have one low-allergen meal, it might be on the kids menu, that doesn’t contain any of the most common food allergens.

This is the a great line to be near for Disney.

@@KenshoQuest What times of year to book flights/when to expect flight prices to fluctuate/what are the average flight prices so there's a baseline to compare If there's anything in particular to know about flying to japan/stuff to have prepared pre booking a flight What to expect getting on a flight going back from Japan, i.e. how early should you arrive at the airport, experiences, advice What it's like going through customs Booking services i.e. Expedia/whatever else you recommend. Booking services in japan too. I know some within japan flights are pretty well priced so local booking if any/if they're useful.

I prefer to stay in Shinjuku. But I now try to avoid the big cities like Tokyo Osaka coz it's too crowded plus good restos always have a long wait. I love the countryside visiting the small towns like Takayama which offer a more authentic feel plus less people.

Are there any issues dropping off luggage at your hotel, before check-in time? So you can walk around and explore until the room is ready? Really appreciate this video 😊

Hi Thanks for you helpful videos. We are coming to Tokyo on 29 September (Narita) but are confused as to how or whether we can get a SUICA card at Narita. Watched some very recent vids and looked online but it appears a card cannot be first loaded at Narita. Do you have any suggestions. Thanks Ken

Hi, if you are looking to purchase a physical Suica IC Card it will most likely be available at Narita. Please visit the JR ticket office once there as they are only sold in person. If they do not have, then check this site for updates to locations of where they are currently available: www.jreast.co.jp/multi/en Also, JR East, which covers the Tokyo are will be producing Suica IC Cards again in September, so most likely you will not have any issues. I'm sure plenty of KZitemrs will be releasing videos on this as soon as the new Suica IC Cards are out :)

Hi, while you can get to Kyoto in 2.5 hrs. You really don't have enough time to enjoy Kyoto. We recommend making Kyoto a separate trip where you can spend more time to explore.

I am planning to stay near mejiro station,as it is quiet and the train is for the yamanote line, and I will be visiting all the touristy places to Shibuya and Asaksa. Do you think it will be a great idea?

Hi, this can work well for you since it is a direct line to Shibuya and an easy one transfer to Asakusa. It might take a little longer but might be worth it for the convenience.

Hi, as long as it is a real hotel with a check-in desk you should not have any problems checking in late in Tokyo. But always check with the hotel before you book. If you use Expedia, there is a section called Check-in Time, it will say when is the latest you can check it. It's usually after midnight or even 24/7
