Tokyo Holidays

Shinjuku

Shinjuku is a great place to stay if you've never visited Tokyo before. It's well-connected to public transport, as well as Narita Airport (catch the Narita Express). Not only is Shinjuku a transport hub – it also boasts a collection of restaurant-packed alleyways, buzzing nightlife, and parks that are especially beautiful in spring.

Ginza

Luxury Ginza, though pricey, is a great place to stay. It's known as Japan's main luxury shopping district with an abundance of galleries, bars and upmarket department stores found here. Ginza was the first neighbourhood in Tokyo to modernise, so it maintains a distinct Japanese vibe without the crowds you experience in Shinjuku. Only one stop away from Tokyo Station, Ginza is a convenient place to base yourself for regional travel.

Akihabara

Akihabara is a quirky neighbourhood with many great budget accommodation options. Though it's a relatively plain district, with little dining and nightlife, it's a world-renowned hot-spot for electronics. Akihabara also has fantastic connections to public transport, with JR Akihabara situated on the Yamanote Line.

Roppongi

Roppongi is a hub for international nightlife, shopping, dining, and entertainment. It's an area with a real air of sophistication. Bars, restaurants, galleries, and picturesque parks are in abundance here. While Roppongi is a great place to stay, it can get very noisy at night. It's also not on the Yamanote Line, posing a problem for those seeking direct connections to Tokyo hot-spots.
