Feel the excitement and allure at your Tokyo accommodation

Tokyo is not only Japan’s capital, but its financial centre and a top destination for travellers. The metropolis shines at night with the lights from its skyscrapers. You can reach the observation deck of the famous Tokyo Skytree for a breathtaking view of the city, and watch the people below through the deck’s glass floor. Along with the modern landscape, Tokyo represents Japanese culture through its historic buildings. You can tour the Imperial Palace, where the emperor still resides, and admire the lush East Garden. The National Museum of Tokyo displays collections of military weapons, ancient textiles and Asian pottery. You can use widespread public transport to get to any of the attractions from your accommodation.

Where to stay for your Tokyo holiday

Tokyo consists of 23 special wards, with each ward divided into several districts. Visitors should consider the purpose of their holiday before choosing their accommodation. Certain areas are known for shopping districts, while others cater to families or business executives. Even with the diverse neighbourhoods, holiday houses in Tokyo will meet your needs.

Tokyo holiday homes for trendy singles

Many young people visit Tokyo for its buoyant atmosphere. Harajuku attracts young creatives looking to buy inexpensive yet trendy clothes, and later hang out at Yoyogi Park for live music ranging from classical to EDM. The Shibuya district boasts a thrilling nightlife for young people who want to dance and party. You can book a 1-bedroom apartment located near the restaurants and pubs, or you can eat in using the microwave in the kitchen. Several Shibuya holiday houses offer larger bedrooms with spacious closets.

Certain holiday rentals provide free WiFi for the whole family to enjoy, but you should check with the owners on possible usage limits.

Holiday rentals for shoppers

Travellers can expect great deals at numerous shops in Tokyo. For boutique shops and gourmet restaurants, you can reserve a room in the Ginza district.

The nearby Sensō-ji Temple enthrals visitors with its elegant design and the huge red lantern on the Kaminarimon Gate. For the latest electronics and anime games, you should head to the Akihabara district.
