Tokyo, Japan is one of the most exciting places to explore for its rich culture. Even though it’s considered a city, it’s easier to think of it as a collection of smaller cities connected by one of the world’s most efficient, if not the most efficient, transport system--so your best bet is to stay near subway stations. Ideally, the most convenient places are close to Yamanote Line station, or the Tokyo Loop line.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with staying in areas besides the ones listed below. The subway system is so convenient, it wouldn’t even matter. But it’s definitely better to step out of your hotel and find yourself greeted by great sights, food, and shopping options.

Tokyo can easily be divided according to how modern or how traditional you want to go. There are Shinjuku and Shibuya on the west side of Tokyo Station that offers more contemporary accommodations and entertainment. On the east side, there’s Asakusa, Ueno, and Akihabara where you’d find more traditional stays and older buildings.

 

Tokyo Station Area

The Tokyo Station area, or the Marunouchi District serves as the city’s main transport hub, where you’ll find most things worth exploring within a few minutes' walk around the neighborhood or a short ride through the subway, like the Ginza District where you’ll find the Kabuki-za Theater, and major department stores, the Imperial Palace and its gardens, or the famous Tokyo Tower. 
Besides that, it’s also the best base when you plan on traveling to Kyoto or other major cities in the country.
