We are planning to go to Tokyo in May. Any recommendations for the place/area to stay? Good restaurants with reasonable price? Thanks a lot for your help!

Hotel My Stays in Kamata. Close to train less than 5 mins away. Close to all grocery stores, Street food, restaurants, mall etc.. very easy access to Haneda Airport.

We'll go to Narita airport. Would you mind to tell me which hotel that you stayed in Kamata?

Hi
Here is a scree shot.

Its clean and very acessible to everything.

Jeannette B Medrano Sounds good. Will check that out. Thanks again

Have you tried to watch youtube videos? There're so many good videos about list of things to do, where to stay, restaurants etc. search tokyo tour. hope this helps.

Yes, I have watched some videos. So many places to choose and get so mix up. Have you tried any Tokyo tours?

I'm originally from Japan. in term of place to stay is depends on price, what and where you want to see n go. I've never taken a tour but hato bus is an option. looks like some Japanese offer free tour guide as well. I'd recommend to check out Tokyo station (gransta, ramen street etc), Asakusa for sure, Metropolitan Government Building observatory in shinjuku, if you like seafood tsukiji market might b a good idea. There r so many places you can go really. try this youtuber (internationally ME) she has uploaded so many tokyo guide that might give you some good ideas. Download an app to navigate train/subway time n map, rent a poket wifi (portable wifi) comes very handy as well. Free metropolice magazine might help you as well for events etc. For inexpensive food definitely convenience stores (7-11, family mart, lawson) you'll be amazed of the quality and variety, street food are great.

watching morning sumo practice might be different, going to a chanko nabe restarant afterward. there r many themed parks around tokyo as well.

Thanks for all these great idea! Just wondering if you could suggest an area to stay for a night which has easy access to bullet train to Narita airport. We have to take the flight at 10am. Thanks a lot!

it depends on how you'd like to spend the last night. You want to be in tokyo or closer to Narita is important? location wise, you can be in shinjuku, shinagawa, tokyo station, or even Chiba.

Great suggestion! I will take a look for Chiba area. Thanks a lot Atsuko.

so you know narita express only stops at narita, sakura, yotsukaido and chiba st.(after chiba st is at tokyo st) the best bet is to stay at chiba st or narita st. Near chiba st, hotel sunroute or daiwa roynet hotel look good. Narita st is good as well. you can visit naritasan temple.

I will find a place at chiba. Great idea! So much to learn about Japan train network....lol

I stayed in JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Shinjuku, 2 Chome-6-2 Yoyogi, 渋谷区 Shibuya-ku, Tōkyō-to 151-0053, Japan, very convenient and good price with bigger rooms. My recommendation is try gyukaku motomura. There are many branches in Tokyo

Thanks Alice! Just checked out that restaurant. Food looks yummy!

Ya! I remember it's not too expensive but really good! One of my best meals in Tokyo in my last trip!

Alice That's Awesome! Thanks for your recommendation! We will go to check it out.

Have the Michelin star ramen! (Go early to get a ticket for a time slot, wander for the day and come back at the designated time) also try some of the themed restaurants they're a lot of fun (like the ninja or monster cafe) but a bit more expensive as you pay for the experience too.

That's interesting! Never thought about themed restaurants. Will try the Michelin star ramen too. Thanks!
