The 6 Best Hotels in Tokyo (Updated 2025)

"As part of a Japanese apartment-hotel chain that’s perfect for long stays, the Ueno Okachimachi location is ideal because you’re mere steps from the biggest and best museums in the city. Units sleep up to six people and each has a kitchen with a cooktop, sink, electric tea pot, microwave, fridge, and basic kitchenware like pans, cutlery, and cutting boards; you can also rent extra appliances such as a rice cooker or toaster. There’s no restaurant or breakfast on-site since it’s an apartment-hotel. The spaces are designed in a traditional Japanese style with a contemporary feel—firm futon beds, a dining area, closet, safety deposit box, flatscreen TV, humidifier, and air purifier. The bathrooms are sleek and laid out so the tub/shower is in a separate room from the toilet (which has a bidet), and the sink is separate as well. It’s a convenient and affordable choice for families or groups of friends." - Matthew Kepnes
