Where to Stay in Tokyo: The Best Neighborhoods for Your Visit

Posted: 3/24/2023 | March 24, 2023

Tokyo is the largest city in the world, home to a whopping 37 million people in the metro area. The city. Incredible, amazing, and bewildering. But massive.

In terms of neighborhoods, there are 14 urban hubs spread out across the megalopolis. There are also 23 wards — five of which make up the central part of town — and, within those wards, hundreds of neighborhoods.

But, as a visitor to the city, there are only a few areas that are ideal to stay in. You don’t need to go through all the centers and wards. In my view, there are only about eight areas worth staying in.
