Tokyo

Plan the complete journey

Build a Tokyo plan around neighborhoods and transit clusters instead of crossing the city repeatedly.

Where to stay

Shinjuku for connections; Ueno for value and airport access; Asakusa for traditional atmosphere; Ginza for central comfort.

Arrival and onward travel

Haneda is usually closer to central Tokyo than Narita, but the best choice depends on fare, arrival time, luggage, and hotel location.

Getting around

Rail is the default for most city journeys. Station complexity and walking distance matter more than a hotel being technically near a train line.

What travelers often miss

Avoid changing hotels too often. A convenient station can save more energy than a slightly cheaper room.
