The room was a bit dated, but it was fully equipped. Its biggest advantage is the downtown location, making it incredibly convenient to get around, with easy subway access to everywhere. The breakfast was fantastic, but unfortunately, we couldn't see the peak of Mount Fuji during our stay.FromPLN 690

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.49km from city center
A quiet oasis amidst the hustle and bustle, just a few steps from Ginza. Downstairs is a 24-hour Don Quijote (though there's not much to buy there). The staff are incredibly attentive; I received a thoughtful email inquiry before arriving, and they even remembered my name every time I passed the front desk. The room was standard – you can't expect huge rooms in Ginza – and the bed was very comfortable. What's truly rare and appreciated is having a smoking room, which is super friendly for smokers. This is definitely my hidden gem of a hotel!FromPLN 758

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.66km from city center
An experience that exceeded all expectations! The old-money elegance is palpable everywhere, from the spacious and aesthetically pleasing lobby lounge to the fresh flowers in the main lobby, which are replaced daily, exuding vitality. The concierge service was impeccable; they even offered bathroom services when my room wasn't ready due to an early arrival, allowing this red-eye traveler to wash away the travel fatigue. The room decor has a historic charm, yet it's incredibly well-maintained and doesn't feel dated at all. The breakfast offers four different styles to choose from, something I've never encountered anywhere else. I opted for the lakeside breakfast, and the pastries were both beautiful and delicious. The coconut cake from the bakery on the first floor was a bit pricey but absolutely delightful; I devoured two-thirds of it that very evening. All in all, I'm extremely satisfied. I'll definitely allocate at least one night to the Imperial Hotel on my next trip to Tokyo.FromPLN 858

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.18km from city center
Exceeded my expectations!
Honestly, I booked late, so the price was high, but the value for money was absolutely incredible!
Location is superb, right in Ginza. It's a three-minute walk to Ginza Mitsukoshi and Ginza Six, and surrounded by restaurants, convenience stores, and beauty shops. Plus, the subway station is just a thirty-second walk from the entrance, making it easy to get anywhere. It's incredibly convenient for places like Asakusa and Shibuya, and especially for both airports, with direct lines. This saved us so much time on transportation.
The breakfast was exquisite, with six set menus to choose from: unagi don, sukiyaki, omurice, French toast, French omelet, and English breakfast. Every single one was delicious. There was also a basic buffet. For tourists purely focused on sightseeing, a good breakfast here can easily last you the whole day, no exaggeration.
The service was excellent. I dirtied the bed sheets, and the front desk promptly arranged for them to be changed without any penalty. My son even pulled down the curtains, and the front desk staff member was incredibly gentle and comforting towards him.
The room amenities were complete, and the Pola toiletries were all very good. The room wasn't huge, but it was spacious enough for us to keep our suitcases open on the floor. For Ginza, Tokyo, where space is at a premium, the room size was perfectly acceptable.
Approximately two-fifths of the hotel guests were Chinese, and the other three-fifths were foreigners.
Pictures 2 and 3 show the breakfast options, and picture 4 is the night view from the window!
If you're looking for value for money, this hotel must be your top choice!
Next time I come to Tokyo, I'll only stay at this one!FromPLN 830

Tokyo Tower Area Tokyo|2.04km from city center
An absolutely fantastic stay! The hotel offers unparalleled views of the Rainbow Bridge and the bay right from our window. Our room was also very spacious, allowing us to sit by the window with a cup of tea, relax, and enjoy the scenery.
The service was exceptional too. We took the front desk's recommendation and purchased a meal package for 8,000 JPY per person, which included breakfast, afternoon tea, and dinner. While we initially thought it was a bit pricey, our dining experiences outside the hotel over the following days made us realize just how great the value of this package was. We arrived in the afternoon, so we enjoyed dinner on our first day, afternoon tea on the second, and breakfast on the third. Every single meal was absolutely stunning; even my usually picky husband couldn't stop raving about them! I genuinely recommend this to anyone visiting Japan for the first time – their authentic first Japanese meal was truly unforgettable. 👍
The hotel's location is also excellent. It's about a 30-minute walk to Ginza, which was perfect for us as we enjoy walking. On our second evening, we also took a scenic bay cruise, with the pier just a three-minute walk from the hotel. You can ask the front desk manager at the hotel to assist with booking cruise tickets. The cruise lasts two and a half hours and includes dinner, with three price tiers available. We opted for the mid-range option at 18,000 JPY per person. We booked the 7:00-9:30 PM dinner cruise, which allowed us to admire the sparkling city lights along both banks.
Even after visiting Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara afterwards, this hotel still remained unforgettable! Highly recommend! 👍👍👍FromPLN 929

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.29km from city center
The location was very convenient and really close to major metro lines . The view from the high floor was nice especially for watching the sunset. As others have posted the room was really small. If you stay more then two days you will need to close your suitcase and organize your things when housekeeping comes. Otherwise they wouldn’t be able to get very far into the room. The water filer and ice machine on the room floor was really helpful especially when going out for the day with the July heat. The room was not so clean. When I went to use the humidifier it was covered in dust which set off my allergies. Also one of the walls had water damage.There was also a badly done patch on the corner of the wall. The lack of more than one outlet next the bed was annoying, especially when the provided charger didn’t work. One of the reasons I booked was the “lounge”. It was quite disappointing. It was loud in the room and it was right next to a smoking room. The available beverages were not that great. I don’t drink coffee and the juice was so sugary.
One more thing that was a little annoying, but not necessarily a negative was housekeeping giving me new towels everyday even though I never put used towels outside with my trashcan in the morning. I stayed less than a week so I was fine using the two provided towels, so I had two bags of new towels sitting on my floor until housekeeping cleaned my room.FromPLN 324

This hotel *absolutely* won't let guests sleep!
The hotel *insists* on room cleaning between 10:00 AM and 1:30 PM. If you don't comply, they'll call your room repeatedly and staff will even come knocking on your door to hassle you! They simply won't let you get any rest!
I work nights and need to sleep past midday. However, the staff here showed *no understanding* whatsoever! After decades of staying in hotels, this is the *first time* I've encountered such an issue!
That 'Do Not Disturb' sign (pictured in Fig 3) is completely useless, as they *insist* on coming in to inspect the room themselves!
If you cannot leave your room before noon for them to clean, *do not* choose this hotel!
What's more, right from check-in, I found the hotel wasn't clean! There were numerous unidentified items on the floor – I would have done a better job cleaning it myself!FromPLN 495

The hotel's location is quite good; it gets very quiet at night, away from the bustling city center. It's a three-minute walk from Tsukiji subway station, and just two stops from Ginza, making it very convenient for getting around. The front desk even has staff who speak Chinese.
The room itself was clean and tidy, and the bathroom featured a separate wet and dry area. You can pick up complimentary skincare samples in the lobby on the first floor.
There are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores around the hotel, so finding food is easy.FromPLN 427

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.39km from city center
I stayed here for four nights. The biggest plus is the hotel's convenient location, with Higashi-Ginza, Shimbashi, and Ginza stations all very close, making it ideal for shoppers. Downstairs, there's a 7-Eleven and FamilyMart, and a Don Quijote (Donki) is just a short walk away, perfect for those looking to shop even after department stores close.
However, the room was incredibly small. With two 28-inch suitcases, we could only manage to open one at a time, with the other having to remain closed and upright. On top of that, our room was right next to the elevator. I couldn't help but notice that all the other quieter rooms on the same floor seemed to be occupied by Japanese and ********* guests.FromPLN 443

Ueno/Asakusa Tokyo|4.74km from city center
This hotel is pretty good! Self-check-in was very convenient, and there are plenty of self-service luggage storage options. The only downside is the lack of windows, making the room a bit stuffy overall. We're a family of three, and we had three beds. There's also a clothes dryer in the room; my husband used it and said it worked really well, making the clothes soft and smooth. For the location, Google Maps initially led us to the back entrance, and we spent about ten minutes looking for the main one. If you can't find it, just look for the FamilyMart convenience store – the hotel's main entrance is right next to it, and the entire building is the hotel! The location is quite convenient, very close to Senso-ji Temple. I'd probably stay here again next time I'm in Tokyo. Oh, and the soundproofing is excellent; it was very quiet at night, perfect for sleeping.FromPLN 256

Ueno/Asakusa Tokyo|5.55km from city center
It's a man-less hotel, even the concierge is just 3 tablets for self check in / out. Therefore I'm marking it 3/5 for service as service staff is literally non-existence lol 😂
The self check in requires a short video call via the tablet for the staff to perform some verification, but the staff did not speak English which made it an issue. He didn't explain clearly either and we were left on hold.
Hotel room is super compact but for the price paid, I think it's worth it. There's a tiny wardrobe that fits only 4 hanging apparel 😂 The in-room fridge was practically not cold even though I made sure it was switched on. Suggestion to hotel: drill some hooks on the walls for hanging of jackets!
The hotel has no common facility, usually we don't wash our clothes when we travel but when we wanted to, we realized there's no laundry machine. No microwave or oven either. Suggestion to hotel: have a common area for such amenities on level 1 since it's restricted access for hotel guests only anyway.
Location is very convenient! Just a 5-10 minute walk from Honjo-Azumabashi station, Asakusa line, which is very convenient as this is also a direct line for the airport express train.
Also, we saw many photo reviews of cute panda amenities but we were not given any. Probably because we booked the cheap room (low floor with no sky tower view) thus the differential treatment 😂😂 I personally didn't like that we were treated differently due to lower price paidFromPLN 198

I like this B&B very much!! I was worried before coming here because I had never stayed in a B&B in Japan, but I had a great time staying here for a few days^ ^.
The stairs are a bit steep, you can ask the landlord to help you carry it. The public areas including the courtyard, kitchen, sink, bathroom and toilet are all clean and tidy (yes! Every public area is very clean!), although the Jianzhiju we stayed in is small, it has all the necessary facilities, it is also very clean and tidy, many small details are very interesting, and it is warm and comfortable to live in. Although it has been very cold and windy in Tokyo these days, the air-conditioned room is very warm. The landlord is enthusiastic and friendly, and he took the initiative to help a lot. He replied to emails very quickly, helped me carry the box and signed for the express delivery of the suitcase, and talked a lot about the experience of studying and living in Japan in the future.
After getting off the bus at Nakamurabashi Station, I suggest you open the Amap navigation and search for Tokyo Ximei B&B. The walking navigation is very accurate (I don’t know why my Google map always wanders (
From the geographical point of view, although it takes a while to walk, it is very easy to walk from Nakamurabashi Station. It is very convenient to take the Seibu Ikebukuro Line. There is an accessible elevator at the exit. It is very interesting to take a slow walk. There are many fast food restaurants, convenience stores, drug stores, Yaoya, second-hand stores, bookstores, etc. along the way. Because I was busy with work, I didn’t finish shopping properly. It was really interesting to walk all the way. There was no need to worry about the daily necessities that were missing. It was easy to buy.
If I must say that there is a flaw, it is that I can hear some people talking outside the door and the sound of water in the bathroom, but for me, it can adapt to my good sleep quality hh. This price B&B is very cost-effective in Tokyo at this time.
I like this small house and cottage.
Thanks to the boss and his family, it really makes people feel at home! Thank you, I would like to stay here and revisit the place if I have the opportunity to come to Nerima in the future.FromPLN 138

K-cars, available only in Japan, are small, cute, agile, easy to drive, and fuel-efficient. The rental car driver was from Henan, but he spoke fluent Chinese and provided friendly service—far better than other car rental companies in China. He had the dedication and professionalism typical of the Japanese. I'll definitely rent a car from him again next time I'm in Tokyo.

Let me share my car rental experience. Before going to Japan, car rentals were usually booked from the official website of Japanese car dealerships. It was safe and reliable, but the price was expensive. This time my friend wanted to try other rental companies and chose BE KOBE on trip.com. The price discount, although a little worried, but thought if there is a mistake, at worst immediately to the car dealership to rent. Somehow BE KOBE's service was so good that it completely exceeded my expectations, the order said you could use what's app contact the car rental company, I tried, but the company immediately replied but also very patient to answer all my questions, two days before departure contact me again to inform the pickup information, arrived at Tokyo airport has received the company message, pick me up to pick up the car is waiting for me, pick up the process refreshing and smooth, the day before return staff repeatedly confirmed return and flight time, afraid I can not catch the plane, but also send return google location and nearby gas station map to me, Chinese communication throughout the process, polite staff, attentive service, after returning the car arranged a special car to send me back to the airport.
The whole service is courteous and reassuring, the price is half cheaper than Japanese car dealerships, highly recommended. The staff introduced that the company has been open for two years and has branches in Zaju and Osaka. I hope the quality can be maintained.

Although the car isn't the latest model, it was kept very new and clean inside and out. The car was well-maintained and very comfortable to drive! I was pleasantly surprised by its handling. The fuel efficiency was also beyond my expectations. Regarding customer service, the Chinese and English-speaking staff made me feel welcome. They responded quickly to all my questions and made arrangements according to my expectations. I give this company and vehicle a perfect 10/10. I will definitely see them again on my next trip to Japan! 🤟🏻🤟🏻 I hope the rental company can introduce more car models and manual transmission vehicles to give customers more driving experiences! 👍🏻👍🏻
5/5
Pros:
This rental car company offers excellent service and very good rental rates, but communication is done through WeChat. They provide an airport pick-up service to take you to the car pickup location, which was very convenient. We rented the car at Narita and returned it at Haneda, and they also provided a return service there for an additional 5,000 yen. The staff explained everything clearly and in detail.
Cons:
We rented a Toyota Noah as booked, but it was an older model without CarPlay and couldn’t connect to our phones. However, the car was still in very good condition. Also, they don’t offer a flat-rate ETC plan — you must rent an ETC card and pay the actual toll fees when returning the car.
