Hotels in Tokyo — Book & Earn Cashback

Shinjuku for a first visit — it is the most connected point in the city, so everywhere else is a short train ride, and it has the widest range of rooms. Shibuya suits a younger trip, Asakusa is the most atmospheric and usually the best value, Ginza or Tokyo Station make sense if you are taking the Shinkansen out during your stay, and Ueno is a cheaper well-connected alternative.

Four is a sensible minimum — the city has several distinct districts and trying to do them in two leaves you doing none of them properly. Five or six lets you add a day trip to Hakone or Nikko, and repeat visitors routinely spend a week without running out of neighbourhoods.

October and November are clear, cool and dry, with autumn colour arriving towards the end. Spring is the other strong season and brings cherry blossom, though the exact timing shifts by a week or more each year, so it cannot be booked to a date with confidence. June to September is the rainy season followed by a hot and very humid summer.

No. Rail signage, station announcements and most restaurant menus in visitor areas carry English, ticket machines have an English mode, and IC transport cards remove most of the situations where you would need to ask. A few polite phrases go a long way, but nothing about a visit here depends on them.

The range is unusually wide, because the city has a genuine market in small, efficient business-hotel rooms as well as capsule hotels, ryokan and international chains. Rates rise sharply in the peak spring and autumn windows and around the New Year. The list on this page is priced live for your dates, so you are seeing real figures rather than an estimate.

Yes — the rate is shown on each property before you book, exactly as it is everywhere else on DerLeng Free. It is credited to your balance as LENG after your stay, and you can hold it, convert it to USDC, or cash it out. You pay for the room normally.
