Tip #1 - Book Along the Yamanote Line
The Yamanote Line is one of Tokyo’s busiest and interconnected railway lines. If you stay along the Yamanote Line, you will be able to travel easily to popular neighborhoods and attractions throughout Tokyo.
Even if you don’t plan to travel far, many main tourist hotspots such as the official Pokémon Cafe, Imperial Palace and Tokyo Tower are concentrated along the Yamanote Line.
Tip #2 - Choose a Hotel with Breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Especially when you are traveling. Take the worry out of scoping down a breakfast spot on a daily basis and stick to the hotel breakfast.
Plus, if you energize during breakfast, you’ll have more energy to hit the tourist spots early and longer, before needing a well-deserved lunch break.
Tip #3 - Use Cash Back & Rewards
Always compare prices between booking directly with the hotel, and through third-party websites. When booking direct through hotels, you might be able to sign up for a free membership for small perks!

Plus, when you book through Rakuten Travel, Agoda or Booking.com, you are eligible to claim Rakuten Rewards. Personally, we use Rakuten to redeem American Express Membership Rewards.
