Finding a place to stay among Tokyo’s vast network of streets and towering buildings takes some guidance. Though the city is known for its world-class hotels, like Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills and the newly-opened Tokyo Edition, Ginza, don’t rule out vacation rentals just yet. Airbnbs provide a pathway to neighborhoods and experiences you may not have otherwise discovered, plus they come equipped with comforts like private patios, contemporary kitchen appliances, and dedicated workspaces. They’re also just steps away from the kitschy cafes, boutique stores, and intimate bars that you’ll definitely want to return to.
