  1. 0:03Hello everyone, this is Double Xu.
  2. 0:04Welcome back to my channel.
  3. 0:06Many people planning their first trip to Tokyo
  4. 0:08ask us where to stay for convenience.
  5. 0:12However, after visiting Tokyo so many times,
  6. 0:15we feel that there isn't one "best" area to stay in.
  7. 0:18It depends on your travel itinerary.
  8. 0:21When booking hotels in Tokyo, our
  9. 0:24first consideration is always transportation.
  10. 0:26We usually choose to stay along the Yamanote Line,
  11. 0:29since Tokyo is really big
  12. 0:31, and the accumulated travel time can be quite significant.
  13. 0:33Choosing the right location
  14. 0:35can save a lot of travel time
  15. 0:37and reduce the number of transfers,
  16. 0:39making the whole trip much easier.
  17. 0:42We also decide on the location based on our itinerary.
  18. 0:46If the trip mainly involves shopping in areas like Shinjuku and Shibuya,
  19. 0:49then we'll prioritize places with convenient transportation
  20. 0:52and good amenities.
  21. 0:54If we want to plan a day trip to a more distant suburb,
  22. 0:57we'll choose areas with convenient transfers or close to major stations.
  23. 1:01This really saves a lot of time.
  24. 1:04This time, we've compiled a list of
  25. 1:06Tokyo accommodation areas that we've stayed in and highly recommend,
  26. 1:09hoping it will be helpful. This will make it easier to find suitable accommodation
  27. 1:12when planning your Tokyo trip !
  28. 1:25If it's your first time traveling to Tokyo independently,
  29. 1:27I highly recommend considering Ikebukuro.
  30. 1:29Ikebukuro is one of Tokyo's most bustling sub-centers, and
  31. 1:33its transportation is incredibly convenient.
  32. 1:35Besides the well-known JR Yamanote Line
  33. 1:38, there are also the Saikyo Line,
  34. 1:40Shonan-Shinjuku Line ,
  35. 1:41Seibu Ikebukuro Line ,
  36. 1:43Tobu Tojo Line, and the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line, Fukutoshin Line
  37. 1:47, Marunouchi Line, and
  38. 1:50many other lines all converging here.
  39. 1:52So whether you're moving within Tokyo or heading to the outskirts,
  40. 1:56Ikebukuro is very convenient.
  41. 1:58For example, the JR Yamanote Line takes about ten minutes to reach Shinjuku, and
  42. 2:02a few stops to Shibuya.
  43. 2:04If you want to go to Ueno, Akihabara, or even Tokyo Station
  44. 2:08, you won't need to spend too much time.
  45. 2:10Furthermore,
  46. 2:11if you're planning a trip to Kawagoe, you can take the Tobu Tojo Line, and if
  47. 2:15you want to go to Chichibu, you can take the Seibu Ikebukuro Line
  48. 2:18without having to transfer at other stations. Therefore,
  49. 2:20Ikebukuro is a great accommodation choice
  50. 2:22for planning a day trip to the suburbs.
  51. 2:26In addition to its convenient transportation,
  52. 2:27Ikebukuro itself is great for shopping.
  53. 2:29The area around the station is home to Seibu Department Store,
  54. 2:32Tobu Department Store
  55. 2:33, Sunshine City, PARCO
  56. 2:36LUMINE, and BIC. Large electronics stores like CAMERA
  57. 2:39offer a one-stop shop for everything from general merchandise and electronics to clothing and anime merchandise.
  58. 2:45For accommodation, I highly recommend APA Ikebukuro, Shibuya/Kisemae-Kita-guchi.
  59. 2:50It's more affordable than places like Shinjuku or Shibuya, conveniently located,
  60. 2:54and has all
  61. 2:55the necessary amenities. Plus
  62. 2:57, there's a Don Quijote right next to the hotel,
  63. 3:00so you can pick up your purchases immediately –
  64. 3:02it's fantastic!
  65. 3:07If you're flying in or out of Tokyo via Haneda Airport
  66. 3:10, we highly recommend staying in Hamamatsucho.
  67. 3:14Its biggest advantage is its transportation.
  68. 3:16Besides the JR Yamanote Line
  69. 3:19, the most convenient option is the Tokyo Monorail,
  70. 3:22which runs directly from Haneda Airport to Hamamatsucho without any transfers. This is
  71. 3:26incredibly convenient for those with large luggage, saving you a lot of hassle
  72. 3:31after arriving in Tokyo and eliminating the need to drag your bags around.
  73. 3:33You can then rest at the hotel.
  74. 3:36Returning by plane is equally convenient.
  75. 3:38Besides, many people don't know
  76. 3:39that traveling from Hamamatsucho to Yokohama is also quite convenient.
  77. 3:43Taking the JR Keihin-Tohoku Line provides a quick and easy way to reach Yokohama,
  78. 3:47making it perfect for a day trip.
  79. 3:51Furthermore, Hamamatsucho's location is very close to Tokyo Harbor.
  80. 3:55If you plan to visit Tokyo Tower,
  81. 3:58Shiba Park, Zojoji Temple, Roppongi Hills, Azabudai Hills
  82. 4:01, or even Odaiba,
  83. 4:03staying here will save you considerable travel time compared to staying further north.
  84. 4:08However, Hamamatsucho has a significant drawback
  85. 4:11: it's more of a commercial and office area.
  86. 4:14There are many office workers during the day
  87. 4:15, and the evening atmosphere isn't as lively as Shinjuku or Ikebukuro.
  88. 4:20There are also relatively fewer shopping areas.
  89. 4:22However, because of this,
  90. 4:24the overall environment is quieter,
  91. 4:25and the accommodation quality is quite good.
  92. 4:27If you value transportation... Hamamatsucho,
  93. 4:29especially for those arriving at or departing from Haneda Airport,
  94. 4:31is definitely worth considering.
  95. 4:33We previously stayed at Meitetsu INN Hamamatsucho in this area;
  96. 4:37the rooms were clean,
  97. 4:38it was a short walk from the station, and
  98. 4:39there was a convenience store downstairs.
  99. 4:41Overall,
  100. 4:43it was very convenient, and we would definitely stay there again.
  101. 4:49If you are arriving at or departing from Narita Airport,
  102. 4:52Nippori is the first area that comes to mind for accommodation.
  103. 4:57The main reason is the Keisei Skyliner.
  104. 5:00It takes about 40 minutes to reach Nippori
  105. 5:02from Narita Airport,
  106. 5:05with no need to change trains.
  107. 5:07This is especially helpful on the first or last day when you have a lot of luggage.
  108. 5:13Nippori is also an important station on the JR Yamanote Line,
  109. 5:17so it's convenient to get to many popular attractions in Tokyo,
  110. 5:22such as Ueno (one stop)
  111. 5:24and Akihabara (two stops).
  112. 5:26Further ahead is Tokyo Station.
  113. 5:29If you want to go to Asakusa, you can take the Tokiwa Line and transfer to the subway.
  114. 5:33Overall, the transportation is very convenient
  115. 5:36. Accommodation prices in Nippori are also slightly cheaper than in Ueno
  116. 5:41, but the convenience of transportation is not much different.
  117. 5:44Therefore, it has always been a popular accommodation location for many independent travelers.
  118. 5:49In addition to transportation
  119. 5:50, the reason we like Nippori
  120. 5:52is that it has preserved the atmosphere of many old Tokyo streets,
  121. 5:56mainly the Yanaka Ginza Shopping Street.
  122. 5:59We have introduced it in previous videos.
  123. 6:01It is a shopping street with a very old-town feel.
  124. 6:04There are many snacks, dessert shops, cafes,
  125. 6:08and many unique shops. It
  126. 6:10is a completely different Tokyo scene from Shinjuku and Shibuya.
  127. 6:14If you like to take a leisurely stroll and experience local life,
  128. 6:17Nippori is really suitable for a visit.
  129. 6:20For accommodation, we also recommend APA. TKP Nippori-mae
  130. 6:26is excellent in terms of distance from the station, transportation convenience, and overall value for money.
  131. 6:36Finally, I'd like to recommend Sugamo, which we personally love
  132. 6:39but is less commonly considered. Sugamo's
  133. 6:43location on the JR Yamanote Line has the biggest advantage of being perfectly situated.
  134. 6:49Whether heading left towards Shinjuku or Shibuya
  135. 6:53, or right towards Ueno or Tokyo,
  136. 6:56the journey isn't too far.
  137. 6:58Therefore, planning different routes each day
  138. 7:00doesn't require spending too much time commuting.
  139. 7:04Compared to the crowds in Shinjuku and Ikebukuro,
  140. 7:07I prefer Sugamo's more relaxed pace of life.
  141. 7:11Especially noteworthy is the famous Sugamo Jizo-dori shopping street right next to the station, which
  142. 7:16we've featured in previous videos.
  143. 7:18It's filled with many local restaurants and dessert shops, and many are quite inexpensive. The drugstore
  144. 7:25is quite
  145. 7:27convenient, and even better, there's a large 24-hour supermarket nearby,
  146. 7:30Seiyu Supermarket.
  147. 7:33So whether you need to buy fruit, late-night snacks, drinks
  148. 7:36, or take some cooked food back to your hotel, it's very convenient
  149. 7:41. For accommodation, we also recommend APA Sugamo Station Front. It
  150. 7:46's cheaper than Ikebukuro or Shinjuku,
  151. 7:49and it even has a free public bath where
  152. 7:52you can soak in the tub at night – so relaxing!
  153. 7:55This is perfect for
  154. 7:58travelers who want convenient transportation but don't want to stay in crowded places.
  155. 8:01That's all for today's video!
