Where to stay in Tokyo first time: 11 Best areas

My partner and I visited Japan a few years ago, spending 10 wonderful days exploring Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. I understand that finding the right place to stay in Tokyo as a first-time visitor can be a bit challenging. 

That’s why, in today’s article, I will share with you what I believe are the best areas to stay in Tokyo for first-time traveler s, along with a map. I’ll also share where we stayed in Tokyo and recommend some of the best hotels for various budgets.

Visiting Tokyo for the first time can be an exciting and somewhat overwhelming experience due to the city’s size, culture, and sheer number of things to see and do. Before going into the details of the main article, let’s look at some tips and recommendations for first-time visitors to Tokyo.

You can decide when to visit based on your preferences for weather and events. Spring, March to May (cherry blossoms) and autumn, September to November (fall foliage) are popular seasons. Research and plan your itinerary but leave some flexibility for spontaneity. 

Tokyo has an extensive and efficient public transportation system , including subways, buses, and trains. Consider buying an IC card like Pasmo or Suica for convenient use on the Tokyo Metro Line and JR Line. Consider buying a Japan Rail Pass if you plan to travel outside of Tokyo.

You can rent a pocket Wi-Fi device or buy a Japan SIM card at the Narita or Haneda airports to stay connected during your trip. Download apps like Hyperdia to navigate the train. 

Carry some cash, as not all places accept credit cards. ATMs at 7-Eleven and Japan Post are foreigner-friendly.

Try local dishes like sushi, ramen, tempura, and okonomiyaki at local restaurants. Don’t be afraid to explore small, local eateries for authentic experiences. Sample street food from stalls and markets like Tsukiji Fish Market and Nakamise Shopping Street in Asakusa.

Must-visit places include the Tokyo Skytree, Meiji Shrine, Senso-ji Temple, and Imperial Palace. You can explore neighborhoods like Shibuya (famous for the Shibuya Crossing), Harajuku (fashion and youth culture), and Akihabara (electronics and pop culture).

Those interested in the history and museums can consider visiting the Tokyo National Museum, Mori Art Museum, and teamLab Borderless for unique art and cultural experiences.

Tokyo is a shopping paradise . You can explore high-end shopping in Ginza, and enjoy the hustle and bustle of shopping streets in Shibuya and Harajuku. Visit the Ameya-Yokocho market for bargains and Asakusa for traditional souvenirs.

Tokyo is one of the safest cities in the world . But, like any tourist destination, it is always recommended to be cautious of your belongings, follow local laws and regulations.

You can also consider taking day trips to nearby destinations like Nikko, Kamakura, Yokohama, or Hakone for a change of scenery.

While many signs are in Japanese, you can get by with English in most tourist areas. Learning a few basic Japanese phrases like “hello” (konnichiwa) and “thank you” (arigatou gozaimasu) can be helpful. Follow local customs, such as not tipping in restaurants and respecting personal space.

Now comes the most important part of finding a hotel to stay: It is highly recommended for first-timers to book accommodation in a neighborhood located along the JR Yamanote Line.

This is because the Yamanote Line is a major train line loops around central Tokyo and passes by many of the city’s famous tourist attractions, including Shibuya, Shinjuku, Tokyo Station, Shimbashi, Ikebukuro, Ueno, Harajuku, Yoyogi, Akihabara, Hamamatsucho, and Ebisu. 

Staying close to the major stops on the Yamanote Line allows you to have the easiest access to iconic attractions and activities by public transportation.

Where to stay in Tokyo for the first time?

• Tokyo Station
• Tokyo Disney

The best areas to stay in Tokyo for first-time tourists are Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ginza, Asakusa, Ueno, and Roppongi. Tokyo’s public transportation system is excellent, making it easy to explore the city regardless of where you choose to stay.

Most first-time visitors to Tokyo choose to stay in Shinjuku and Shibuya because they are the major transport hubs of the city, making it easy to explore other parts of the city and the airports.

Shinjuku is a bustling and central district, known for its vibrant nightlife and attractions such as the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and Shinjuku Gyoen. Shibuya is a youthful and energetic district famous for its lively shopping scene, the Shibuya Crossing, and Hachiko Statue. 

In addition to Shinjuku and Shibuya, all of the other areas are also very convenient for first-timers:

• Tokyo Station is the best area for accessing the bullet trains to get to other cities in Japan. 
• Ginza is an excellent choice for luxury travelers and shop lovers.
• Asakusa offers a taste of traditional Tokyo and is good for those interested in Japanese history and culture. The area has a great selection of budget-friendly hotels.
• Ueno offers a bit more laid-back and budget-friendly compared to some other areas.
• Akihabara is an ideal base for tech enthusiasts and fans of Japanese pop culture.
• Roppongi is a popular choice for expats and visitors looking for a lively atmosphere. 
• Shimbashi has good transportation links, close to both Ginza and Tokyo Tower.
• Odaiba is perfect for families and those interested in modern architecture.
• Tokyo Disney, a convenience base if you plan to spend most of your time at Disney Resort.

Once you choose the area you want to stay, you can pick a hotel that suits you. Tokyo has all kinds of accommodations ranging from luxury international brand hotels to budget hostels.

You can consider staying in ryokans (traditional Japanese style inns) if you’re couples, or capsule hotels if you’re budget backpackers.

Keep in mind that accommodations in the popular areas such as Shibuya, Shinjuku, Tokyo Station, and Ginza tend to be more expensive than other areas, but it is well worth it being in the middle of the action. And if you look into it, you are still able to find good value for money hotels. 

If you want wider choices of budget-friendly accommodations, you can stay in Asakusa, Ueno, or Akihabara. Of course, these areas still have excellent transportation to get around.

During my first trip to Tokyo, my partner and I stayed at the popular Hotel Sunroute Plaza Shinjuku . The hotel has a fantastic location, in the heart of Shinjuku. Short walk from public transportation, easy access to Haneda and Narita airports with Limousine Airport Bus service.

Below is the live map of popular areas in Tokyo.

Let’s get into the details of the recommended areas to stay in Tokyo, especially for first-timers. I’ll provide you with some suggestions for the best places to stay in each area, catering to every budget. 

All hotels in Tokyo have been carefully selected by me, with guest review scores of at least 8.0 or higher at the time I chose them. If you don’t like my suggestions (perhaps they don’t suit your budget or preferences), you can click the “MORE DEALS” button where you can choose your own hotel.

I just returned from the Paris Olympics and it was nothing like I expected. These 7 awful things surprised me the most.

I attended the Paris Olympics as an event organizer and writer, as I did for the 2020 Tokyo Games.

Tokyo spoiled me and raised my expectations for Paris, but I left early feeling underwhelmed.

The lack of AC, limited transportation shuttles, and hard water disappointed me in Paris.

I worked as an event organizer and writer at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics for a nonprofit sports media organization (separate from my journalism day job) and returned in that same capacity for the Paris Olympics this summer. Working at the Olympics is always a unique experience.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tokyo Olympics were pushed to 2021 , with tight restrictions in place.

No spectators were allowed and only a limited number of media professionals and necessary personnel were present. Surprisingly, it was an amazing experience.

I spent days quarantining before I could leave my hotel room. But once I got the green light to roam free, I could feel the Olympic spirit that I saw on TV when I was growing up. Pride, patriotism, and unity somehow managed to cut through the fear and isolation that had consumed many of us throughout the pandemic.

Tokyo was efficient, clean, and accommodating, so I had reasonable expectations for Paris, which had already hosted the Olympics twice.

Unfortunately, Paris didn't even come close to the experience I imagined. Here are the seven things that surprised me most.

undefined undefined undefined

2. The rats weren't afraid, which made me afraid.

I came across a funny tweet that asked, "What did Paris do with all the rats?" I'm convinced they put them all under a bridge in Montmartre, where I stayed, because I passed more than a dozen rats huddled together while I was taking a walk on my first night.

These rats did not run away. Instead, they started casually walking in my direction. I work in New York City, but I will never get used to rats that aren't afraid of humans.

I wasn't shocked that rats roam the streets of Paris; I've watched "Ratatouille." However, the boldness and audacity with which these French rats approached me kept me on edge.

3. Transportation was a headache.

I spent $60 as soon as I landed in France. That was my first shock. I was not informed about any media shuttle from Paris Charles de Gaulle airport to my hotel in Montmartre — about 25 to 30 kilometers, or 17 miles, away. One of my colleagues flew in with bags and camera equipment and had to haul everything to her hotel on the train.

In Tokyo, there were free shuttles to transport guests from the airport to media-appointed hotels. In Paris, I was given a 30-day free Métro card and directed to the taxi area.

I could've taken a free one-hour commute on the train and subway, but since I had too many bags, I opted to pay for a 30- to 40-minute taxi ride.

Tokyo had shuttles that ran to every venue we visited. Paris, on the other hand, had limited buses. No shuttles operated between the press center and one of the basketball venues located in Lille — two hours from my hotel.

4. The visa process I witnessed was heartbreaking.

Africans typically experience higher rejection rates when applying for a Schengen visa. I learned this firsthand when I organized a concert in Paris during the Olympics and received an invitation letter from one of the mayors for three West African musicians to perform in the city.

I thought an invitation letter from a French official, service passports, and all required documents would be enough to secure a French visa, but I was mistaken. And it was a costly mistake. After being led to several French embassies and consulates, the artists I was trying to work with were denied entry to France. This left a bitter taste in my mouth.

It was hard to enjoy a place that I felt didn't want my people there.

5. Tokyo set unrealistically high expectations for free swag.

Tokyo spoiled me. When it hosted the 2020 Games, it gave the press lots of functional and meaningful swag.

Maybe the city had to give away all of the merchandise it produced before the pandemic. The Tokyo media center gave away Tokyo 2020 book bags, towels, notepads, pens, stadium cushions, and more. The organizers even had students from local schools present gifts to different delegations.

Based on the generosity of Tokyo, I created a little extra room in my suitcase for Paris swag. All we got was a Coca-Cola water bottle. I'm still grateful because something is better than nothing, but I wasn't impressed.

I would've loved something that represented Paris or French culture.

6. The water was too hard and caused my skin to blister.

The first time I visited Europe was over 20 years ago. I was just a kid spending the summer with my cousins in the Netherlands. This time, I returned to the States with a rash all over my face, arms, and legs. I was later diagnosed with severe eczema triggered by the harsh water .

During the Olympics, I experienced the same discomfort. Within days of being in Paris, blisters started spreading across my body — especially on my hands. I couldn't wash my face with water; I had to use wipes.

It was so uncomfortable that I bumped my flight up and left before the closing ceremony . Based on what I know now, I would've paid closer attention to the accommodations and searched for a newer hotel with updated plumbing and filtered water.

7. The hotel breakfast was a huge disappointment.

Every morning, the hotel staff hung a bag on my door handle with a hard baguette, a soft croissant, and sometimes a banana or an apple.

This was not the Parisian hotel breakfast I was expecting. Where were the crepes? The eggs? Again, I should've done my research. I couldn't keep up with all the carbs and politely asked the hotel staff not to deliver breakfast after the first week.

Despite these inconveniences, the Olympics was an experience to remember.

It's easy to dwell on everything that went wrong, but many great moments were sprinkled between the chaos.

For starters, the city of L'Île Saint-Denis hosted Station Afrique , a venue celebrating African music, fashion, food, and culture. All of the concerts I attended there were amazing. It was a great precursor to the 2026 Youth Olympics , which will take place in Dakar, Senegal — the first Olympic event to ever be held on the African continent.

The indescribable energy of being in the stadium while these athletes break records and make history cannot be replicated on a TV screen. I appreciated having access to these spaces and meeting the foreign Olympic volunteers who sacrificed their time and money to make these Games happen.

Finally, most of the food was good. Whether the AC worked or not, every restaurant I visited was worth the sweat. And I met many great people, which made the experience worth it.

The ‘Orgasm Gap’ Isn’t Going Away for Straight Women

A new study suggests they still have fewer orgasms during sex than men do, even with age and experience.

By Catherine Pearson

Sex researchers and therapists have long known that women in heterosexual relationships tend to have fewer orgasms than men do. A large new study suggests that this “orgasm gap” persists — and does not improve with age.

The Numbers

The research, published recently in the journal Sexual Medicine, found that across all ages, men of all sexual orientations reported higher orgasm rates during sex — from 70 to 85 percent — compared with 46 to 58 percent for women. Lesbian and bisexual women between ages 35 and 49 reported higher orgasm rates than their heterosexual counterparts.

The analysis included data from eight Singles in America surveys, which are funded and conducted by Match.com annually in collaboration with The Kinsey Institute, the sexuality and relationships research program at Indiana University. The sample included more than 24,000 single Americans between the ages of 18 and 100.

Researchers were especially interested in the question of whether orgasm rates vary by age. Amanda Gesselman, a research scientist with the Kinsey Institute and lead author on the study, said she thought the team might find evidence that the orgasm gap narrows as women develop confidence and learn what they like (and, perhaps, their partners develop skills to help pleasure them).

However, while older gay and bisexual men and lesbian women did have higher orgasm rates, “we really didn’t see evidence of closing the orgasm gap overall,” she said, adding that she hopes future studies will explore the age-orgasm connection further.

“We really, as a society, sort of prioritize men’s pleasure and undervalue women’s sexual pleasure,” Dr. Gesselman said. “And I think that contributes to consistent disparities.”

The Limitations

Emily Nagoski, a sex educator and author of the book “Come Together” — who did not work on the new study — said a limitation of the study was that the survey asked: “When having sexual intercourse in general, what percentage of the time do you usually have an orgasm?” But it did not provide a more specific definition of what “sexual intercourse” means.

Research shows the majority of women require some form of clitoral stimulation in order to orgasm. So if straight women defined “sexual intercourse” as vaginal penetration alone, it makes sense that there was a significant gap in orgasm rates, she said.

A more revealing question might be, “What percentage of the sex you have do you like?” Dr. Nagoski said. “Orgasm is not the measure of a sexual encounter. Pleasure is the measure of a sexual encounter.”

Ultimately, what matters is that people spend time figuring out what makes a satisfying sexual encounter for them — which often includes things like connection, trust and comfort, said Kristen Mark, professor at the Eli Coleman Institute for Sexual and Gender Health at the University of Minnesota.

“There are so many ways to experience sexual pleasure, so it’s important not to equate the orgasm gap to a pleasure gap,” she added.

Dr. Mark said that may be especially true later in life, when factors like the hormonal changes that occur during menopause, a partner’s erectile problems or other health challenges can make it difficult for women to reliably orgasm during sex — but they might still be enjoying the sex they are having.

What Progress Looks Like

At the same time that sex researchers and experts are calling for a more nuanced understanding of what makes sex “successful,” they express frustration at the fact that heterosexual women of all ages are still not having as many orgasms as their partners.

Laurie Mintz, a professor of psychology at the University of Florida and author of “Becoming Cliterate: Why Orgasm Equality Matters — and How to Get It,” said the study’s findings underscore the need for comprehensive sex education. But that’s not enough.

Women need to figure out what they find pleasurable, and then feel confident and comfortable communicating that to their partners, Dr. Mintz said. That requires an attitude that conveys “I deserve pleasure as much as my partner,” she added — and it also requires a partner who is receptive and open. Dr. Mintz acknowledged that both are easier said than done, calling the orgasm gap an “insidious” byproduct of patriarchal attitudes toward sex.

Women who are unable to orgasm, or who are simply not having sex that feels good, can talk to their general practitioner, Dr. Mark added — though she lamented that it tends to fall on patients, not medical professionals, to initiate conversations about sexual health. And she acknowledged that most doctors get little if any training in sexual health. Still, “it’s their job to meet you where you are and find you the resources you need,” Dr. Mark said. For instance, issues like dryness and pain during sex after menopause — which can make orgasms elusive — are treatable.

But she and other sexual health experts emphasized that there are larger issues at play. Among them, the lingering idea that women’s sexual pleasure is somehow secondary.

“It can be fixed,” Dr. Mintz said. “It’s going to take education, and empowerment, and acceptance of vibrators and lubricants, and using the word ‘clitoris’ — and all of that.”
