All these factors come into play at any hotel, anywhere in the world. Here are some hotels that I
recommend. Updates will be added in future issues of Travel2Japan.
The Travel2Japan Hotel Advisory
Tokyo-Courtyard by Marriott, Ginza—this is one of my favourites. Great location—only a 10 minute
walk to the Tsukiji fish market, 10 minutes to the Ginza Metro station, 10 minutes to the Kabuki Theatre
and shopping. The colours used in the hotel are comfortably warm—both in the lobby, corridors and
rooms. Free internet for guests, exercise room. Friendly, helpful staff. Convenience stores in the area
for picking up water or snacks. I really enjoy staying here.
Tokyo-Hyatt Regency, Shinjuku—easy access from the Nishi-Shinjuku Metro station. Great views of
Mt. Fuji if you’re facing the right direction and are on a high floor. 15-20 minute walk to the Shinjuku
subway as well as the main shopping area of stores and restaurants galore. Good décor. Friendly and
helpful staff. Convenience store and some shops in the basement.
Tokyo-Tokyo Hilton, Shinjuku—literally across the road from the Hyatt and so very similar features
and amenities exist in terms of very easy Metro access and close to the Shinjuku shopping and
restaurant areas. Convenience store outside, around the corner. Helpful staff. Popular hotel for
weddings and conferences.
Tokyo-Niwa Hotel—accessible by train/Metro, this hotel offers a quiet alternative from the downtown
hustle and bustle. Beautiful property built around a garden (niwa) with very pleasing décor, comfortable
rooms, beautiful tea pots in each room, free internet and friendly staff.
