Tokyo: KOKO HOTEL Shimbashi Onarimon
In the urban jungle of Tokyo, it's challenging to find a good hotel. 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 a very good price-performance ratio and a very central location. Thus, it's the perfect starting point to explore Tokyo.
Near the Koko Hotel, you'll find many restaurants, cafés, and shopping opportunities. Additionally, you can reach Shimbashi train station within a few minutes' walk. From here, both public transport (ÖV) and long-distance trains, such as the JR Line, depart.
