Where to Stay in Ginza: The Four Areas

Ginza is laid out in numbered blocks called chome, from 1-chome in the north to 8-chome in the south. For choosing a hotel, it helps to think of four areas: Yurakucho and Hibiya to the west, the north end (1–3 chome), central Ginza and Higashi-Ginza, and the south end toward Shimbashi.

You can walk between all of them, but each has different stations and a slightly different feel.

Yurakucho and Hibiya: palace gardens and the JR line

On the west side of Ginza, next to the Imperial Palace Outer Garden and Hibiya Park. JR Yurakucho Station puts you on the Yamanote Line, the loop line that circles central Tokyo, one stop from Tokyo Station. The Peninsula Tokyo and The Gate Hotel Tokyo by HULIC are here.

Ginza 1–3 chome: quieter and more refined

The north end of Chuo-dori, toward Kyobashi and Tokyo Station. It’s less crowded than the center, and it’s where you’ll find hotels built around design and experience.

The Tokyo EDITION, Ginza, Fufu Tokyo Ginza and MUJI HOTEL GINZA are in this area.

Central Ginza and Higashi-Ginza: shopping and kabuki

The heart of Ginza around the 4-chome crossing, home to Mitsukoshi, GINZA SIX and the big department stores. Just east, Higashi-Ginza has the Kabuki-za Theatre, Tokyo’s main stage for traditional kabuki, and the Tsukiji Outer Market is within walking distance.

Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo, Tokyu Stay Ginza and AC Hotel by Marriott Tokyo Ginza are here.

Ginza 7–8 chome and Shimbashi: views and value

The south end of Ginza, near JR Shimbashi Station. It’s a little away from the center, so prices tend to be lower, and some high-rise hotels look out to Tokyo Tower. Mitsui Garden Hotel Ginza Premier is here.

As a rough guide, expect US$120–300 per night for good-value hotels, US$150–500 for midrange to upscale, and US$500+ for luxury. Ginza is one of Tokyo’s pricier areas, and rates climb further in cherry blossom season and over New Year, so book early.

Standard rooms in Tokyo are smaller than in most US or European cities. If you’re traveling with large suitcases, check the room size before you book.

The 9 Best Hotels in Ginza

1 The Peninsula Tokyo

Why stay here

The Peninsula Tokyo faces the Imperial Palace Outer Garden and Hibiya Park. You get Ginza’s shopping on one side and the green of the palace grounds on the other.

Rooms are generous by Tokyo standards, and some look out over the palace gardens or the park. With a spa and an indoor pool, it’s easy to come back mid-afternoon and recharge.

It’s connected to Hibiya Station and about 5 minutes on foot from Chuo-dori, Ginza’s main shopping street. Choose it if the hotel itself is part of the trip.

2 The Gate Hotel Tokyo by HULIC

Why stay here

The Gate Hotel Tokyo by HULIC is all about location for the price. It’s a minute from Hibiya and Ginza stations, with Chuo-dori and JR Yurakucho Station right around the corner.

An upper-floor terrace lets you take in the Ginza and Hibiya skyline, and rooms have a calm, modern look.

It isn’t a luxury hotel, but few hotels this central come in at this price. Spend what you save on Ginza’s shops and restaurants.

3 The Tokyo EDITION, Ginza

Why stay here

The Tokyo EDITION, Ginza belongs to Marriott’s EDITION luxury brand. The building was designed by Kengo Kuma, the architect behind Tokyo’s National Stadium, and its wood-and-stone interiors feel remarkably calm for the middle of Ginza.

In the evening, head up to the rooftop bar for a drink above the city lights. There are more bars and restaurants inside, so you don’t have to go out to have a good night.

It’s about 2 minutes from Ginza-itchome Station and close to Chuo-dori. If you care about architecture, the hotel is a Ginza sight in its own right.

4 Fufu Tokyo Ginza

Why stay here

Fufu Tokyo Ginza lets you do something even Japanese travelers find surprising: soak in a hot spring in central Tokyo. Every room has a private bath filled with onsen water from Atami, a hot spring town south of Tokyo.

Fufu is a Japanese brand of upscale hot spring retreats in places like Atami, Lake Kawaguchi and Kyoto. All rooms here are suites with a calm, Japanese feel. Because the bath is in your room, you don’t need to share it with strangers, and tattoos aren’t an issue the way they can be at public onsen.

Spend the day shopping and eating in Ginza, then unwind in your own bath at night. A good choice if you don’t have time for a trip out to a hot spring town.

Good to know: This is one of the most expensive hotels in Ginza.

5 MUJI HOTEL GINZA

Why stay here

MUJI HOTEL GINZA is run by MUJI, the Japanese brand known for simple, no-logo home goods and clothing. It sits above MUJI’s flagship store, and the rooms are furnished with MUJI products.

Rooms use natural materials like wood and stone in a pared-back style. They’re not big, but they’re so well thought out that they feel more comfortable than the size suggests.

The building also has a restaurant and floors of MUJI goods, handy for souvenirs. If you love MUJI, staying here is an experience in itself.

Good to know: Rooms are compact, and it can feel tight with large suitcases open.

6 Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo

Why stay here

Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo is a lifestyle hotel on Namiki-dori, a street lined with luxury boutiques. It’s about 3 minutes from Ginza Station, close to GINZA SIX and the department stores on Chuo-dori.

The design is modern with a playful touch. Drop your shopping bags in the room and head back out: it’s an ideal base for a Ginza shopping trip.

It costs less than the luxury hotels and strikes a good balance of location, design and price. A natural pick for World of Hyatt members.

7 Tokyu Stay Ginza

Why stay here

Tokyu Stay Ginza is built for longer stays, and most rooms come with a washer-dryer. Doing laundry as you go means you can pack a lot lighter.

It’s right next to the Kabuki-za Theatre, about 2 minutes from Higashi-Ginza Station and an easy walk to the heart of Ginza. Handy if you’re seeing kabuki, or heading to the Tsukiji Outer Market early for breakfast.

Rooms are small, but it’s one of the easier central Ginza hotels on the budget. Put the difference toward Ginza’s restaurants.

Good to know: Rooms are compact, and some room types don’t have a washer-dryer. Check the room details when you book.

8 AC Hotel by Marriott Tokyo Ginza

Why stay here

AC Hotel by Marriott Tokyo Ginza belongs to AC Hotels, a brand that started in Spain. Expect a clean, modern European look with nothing fussy.

It’s on the Higashi-Ginza side of Ginza 6-chome, a few minutes from the main shopping streets but within walking distance of the Tsukiji Outer Market. Graze your way through the market in the morning, then shop Ginza in the afternoon.

Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here, which makes it an easy choice if you usually stay with Marriott.

9 Mitsui Garden Hotel Ginza Premier

Why stay here

Mitsui Garden Hotel Ginza Premier occupies the upper floors of a building in Ginza 8-chome. The views are the draw: rooms on the Tokyo Tower side look out over the city lights.

Book a View Bath room and the bathtub sits right next to the window, so you can soak while looking out at Tokyo at night.

It’s at the southern end of Ginza, toward Shimbashi, so prices are lower than in the center. For views like these, it’s very good value.

Good to know: Views vary by room. If you want Tokyo Tower or a View Bath, book a room type that says so (such as View Bath or Tokyo Tower View).

Tips Before You Book a Hotel in Ginza

Ginza has lots of stations. Know which one is yours

Ginza is served by Ginza, Ginza-itchome, Higashi-Ginza and Hibiya subway stations, plus JR Yurakucho and JR Shimbashi. Each hotel is closest to a different one.

Check your hotel’s nearest station and exit number before you arrive. Ginza’s underground passages are long, and the right exit can save you a lot of dragging suitcases.

Want a Tokyo Tower view? Check the room type

Even at hotels known for their views, not every room has one. If you see a room type labeled Tokyo Tower View or View Bath, choose it when you book.

Getting around Tokyo and to the airports

Tokyo Station is one subway stop away. The Ginza Line runs straight to Shibuya, Ueno and Asakusa, and the Marunouchi Line to Shinjuku. Get a Suica or PASMO IC card, which you can also add to the Wallet app on an iPhone.

Being this close to Tokyo Station makes an early bullet train to Kyoto or Osaka easy. If you have a lot of luggage, ask your hotel about luggage forwarding, a common service in Japan that sends your bags ahead to your next hotel or the airport.

No tipping in Japan

Tipping isn’t expected at hotels, restaurants or taxis in Japan, even at luxury hotels. The price you see is the price you pay.

So, Which Ginza Hotel Should You Book?

Start by deciding what matters most: a hotel that’s an experience in itself, a base for shopping, or views and value.

For classic luxury, book The Peninsula Tokyo; for design and a rooftop bar, The Tokyo EDITION, Ginza. For a private onsen in your room, choose Fufu Tokyo Ginza.

For a shopping base, try Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo or MUJI HOTEL GINZA. Marriott members should also look at AC Hotel by Marriott Tokyo Ginza.

On a budget, The Gate Hotel Tokyo by HULIC puts you right in the middle of Ginza, and Tokyu Stay Ginza is great for longer stays. For Tokyo Tower at night, book Mitsui Garden Hotel Ginza Premier.
