Tokyo: KOKO HOTEL Shimbashi Onarimon
In the urban jungle of Tokyo, finding a good hotel is challenging. Therefore, we recommend choosing a district first and then the hotel. KOKO Hotel Shimbashi Onarimon is located in Shimbashi. This is a very central district, which is significantly quieter in the evenings than the very touristy Shibuya or Shinjuku. Shimbashi Onarimon is a budget hotel with excellent value for money and a very central location. Thus, it's the perfect starting point to explore Tokyo.
Near KOKO Hotel, you will find many restaurants, cafés, and shopping opportunities. Additionally, you are just a few minutes' walk from Shimbashi train station. From here, both public transport and long-distance trains, such as the JR Line, depart.
