Avoid Disaster: 10 Spacious & Comfortable Hotels Near Tokyo Station

The Tokyo Station Hotel

🏛️ Hotel Feature: A Historical Landmark & The Only Hotel Inside the Station

• Room Size: From 23m^2 (247 sq ft) – The Palace Side rooms (34m^2/366 sq ft and up) are highly recommended. Note: 23m^2 may be too small to fully open two large suitcases.

• Airport Access: You can check in directly from the Narita Express platform without even exiting the ticket gate. This is one of the easiest hotels for transfer from the airport.

• Bathroom: Many rooms feature the Japanese-style bathroom (with a separate shower area), but some rooms use the unit bath style, so confirmation is required upon booking.

• Key Selling Point: An incomparable experience of staying inside a National Important Cultural Property. The high ceilings (approx. 4 meters / 13 feet) and classical interiors are perfect for a honeymoon.

• Important Note: The view from the window varies drastically—either overlooking the dome interior (where station users can be seen), the Imperial Palace side, or no view at all. Please confirm carefully when making your reservation.
