There are so many options for places to stay in Tokyo! There's not just one city centre / downtown area, but several. In this video I'll cover busy, fun places to stay and more chilled, quieter neighbourhoods, so you can pick one that's right for you. There are many great options, including hectic Shinjuku and Shibuya, more central areas like Tokyo Station and Akasaka, Odaiba in Tokyo Bay and older districts like Ueno and Asakusa. I'll cover hotel prices, how well connected they are on the train and the benefits of each neighbourhood, in terms of how close they are to tourist attractions. I'll also give my take on Kabukicho, which many people say is the dangerous area of Tokyo, and whether it's safe to stay there. At the end, I'll cover how I choose a hotel in Japan.
