WHERE TO STAY
📍SHINJUKU
⭐️ APA HOTELS are a more affordable hotel chain across Japan. I personally have stayed in a few of them and enjoyed my stay every time. They are always super central and clean, and I recommend it!
⭐️ ⭐️ If you are looking for something more luxury, KIMPTON SHINJUKU hands down is a good one! Kimpton hotels in general are always really nice and offer a variety of amenities (restaurants, cafe, gym and more)! They also have the best hotel breakfast I've ever eaten - I still dream about their French toast (a must if you stay here!).
📍ASAKUSA
⭐️ For my budget-friendly travelers, I highly recommend MyCUBE by MYSTAYS in Asakusa. It’s a capsule hotel, and as someone who usually avoids hostel-style accommodations, I found this to be a really nice experience. It’s clean, central, and offers plenty of storage space—perfect for those with check-in-sized luggage!
⭐️ I have stayed at HOTEL WING before and also can recommend it. The rooms are pretty tiny but that's normal in Japan. I found this place to be budget-friendly, central, and really clean as well.
💡Hotel Wing is offering a discount of 15% off now through January 2025!
⭐️⭐️ And if you're looking for something for luxury, you can never go wrong with the INTERCONTINENTAL HOTELS - definitely check this one out!

🍣 Food and Drinks:
📌 BOOK A SAKE TASTING CLASS - this was such a fun class to do in Tokyo! If you like sake, it's a great way to discover new styles and sample sake pairings with a sake sommelier!
