      Thanks for sharing this video. I am looking to see what places in Tokyo would be ideal to explore both the touristy parts and locally. I am also interested exploring the rural areas, and was wondering if Ueno would be a good place to stay my time there, or look elsewhere. Any advice or tips I would appreciate it!

    I personally find that Kanda station area is the best area to stay in Tokyo. It is walking distance to Tokyo station, it is incredibly cheap, you can walk to Akihabara and it is super well connected as it is the stop right before the East Line Breaks off, which makes it very easy to go to Shinjuku and Mt Fuji.

    For a business trip in 2019, I stayed at Hotel Ryumeikan, near Tokyo station. It was very nice! It was stylish, and at that time the amenities included complimentary use of a travel smartphone. I'm not sure if they still do that, but it was a great way to reduce my own cell phone data usage when using Google Maps!

    I think as long as you have access to the Yamanote line, you have many options for a pleasant stay.
    Last July I stayed in a place in Kamata and it was nice to stay in a different part of Tokyo.
    It was only 30 mins from Disneyland with one transfer.

    been to japan 6 times since 2019. stayed at shin-okubo area and tokyo station vicinity before. i still prefer tokyo as it has access to many trains and regional buses to places like kawaguchiko and easy to get to yokohama. shinjuku hotel prices are more expensive compared to those around tokyo station. these 2 places are the best in terms of transportation options. ueno should be only considered if the hotels in shinuku or tokyo stations are out of your budget. i would not even bother with shibuya as i find the hotel prices here the most expensive of the 5 places mentioned in this video.

      @Wingcake1 3 місяці тому

      The limousine bus stops in shinjuku station, since your going all the way to hiroshima your better off getting the jr pass unlimited to go from tokyo to kyoto and the rest. The train to mt fuji is long regardless so a tour might be better they usually start in shinjuku as well.

      Shinjuku is actual a huge area so you don't have to stay right in the center of action or "red light" district. Consider the area between Shinjuku and Shibuya. And we tend to stay away from the mega hotels like Hyatt, Prince, Gracery, you name it.

    Nice and informative! Perhaps you are not aware, but APA hotels are owned by unrepentant Ultra-right Nationalists and are major financial backers of Yasakuni Jinja where war criminals are "honored". It is probably better not to recommend them regardless of price and location.
