Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the best area to stay in Tokyo?
Shinjuku ($120-250/night) is the top pick for first-timers — central transit hub within 15 minutes of Shibuya, Harajuku, and Akihabara by train. Shibuya ($130-280/night) suits younger travelers. Asakusa ($45-100/night) is best for budget travelers and traditional atmosphere.
How much do hotels in Tokyo cost per night?
Budget capsule hotels and hostels in Asakusa start at $40/night. Mid-range hotels in Shinjuku average $120-250/night. Luxury properties in Ginza run $300-800+/night. Business hotels ($60-100/night) offer compact but high-quality rooms — a uniquely Japanese option.
What is a capsule hotel?
Compact sleeping pods (~2m x 1m) with shared bathrooms at $25-50/night. Modern ones like Nine Hours are sleek and design-forward. Worth one night as cultural experience, but not ideal for multi-night stays or large luggage.
When are Tokyo hotels cheapest?
January and February offer 25-35% savings vs peak. June (rainy season) also has good deals. Avoid Golden Week (Apr 29-May 5), cherry blossom season (late March), and Obon (mid-August) when rates spike 50-100%.
Can I book Tokyo hotels with cryptocurrency?
Yes. Travorio accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, and 100+ cryptocurrencies for Tokyo hotel bookings. Paying in crypto avoids the 2-4% card conversion fee on JPY and gives real-time exchange rate pricing at checkout.
Should I try a ryokan in Tokyo?
Tokyo ryokan (traditional inns) cost $150-400/night — more cultural experience than budget play. Sawanoya in Yanaka and Sadachiyo in Asakusa are well-regarded. For a more authentic experience, consider a day trip to Hakone (90 min from Shinjuku) with hot spring ryokan from $200/night.
