Booking hotels near Tokyo Station โ top tips
Once you are ready to start booking your Tokyo hotel(s), there are a few general rules and tips:
- Peak season in Japan is generally classed as the summer months but youโll also find room rates are likely higher during public holidays, golden week (in May) and cherry blossom season (usually in March / April).
- We find agoda.com and booking.com have the best room rates for Tokyo / Ginza hotels Tokyo.
- Online rates for Tokyo Station hotels are generally better than booking in person. We even had a situation where we tried to extend a Tokyo hotel booking at reception and the staff kindly informed us we should book it on Agoda instead as it would be cheaper!
- If possible, book your Tokyo Station hotel rooms several months in advance as the room rates tend to increase in the months before you arrive โ also consider making use of the โcancellableโ room options that some hotel booking sites have like Agoda.
- We watch room rate prices in Tokyo a lot and they generally rise the closer you get to arrival โ some go up a lot in price, especially Asakusa, Shibuya and Shinjuku. So book well in advance if you can.
