Where to Stay in Akasaka: The Three Areas

Akasaka sits right in the middle of central Tokyo. Roppongi, the nightlife and art district, is just to the south; Roppongi-itchome Station, on its edge, is one stop from Tameike-Sanno on the Namboku Line. The Imperial Palace is to the northeast, past Nagatacho, home of Japan’s parliament (the National Diet). Hanzomon Station, at the palace’s west side, is one stop from Nagatacho.

Hotels fall into three areas: Akasaka-Mitsuke and Kioicho to the north, the streets around Akasaka Station to the southwest, and Tameike-Sanno to the east. All are a few minutes’ walk from a subway station.

Akasaka-Mitsuke and Kioicho: views and gardens

Across the old castle moat north of Akasaka-Mitsuke Station, Kioicho is green and quiet. This is where you’ll find high-rise views and a hotel with a traditional Japanese garden. The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho and Hotel New Otani Tokyo Executive House Zen are here.

Around Akasaka Station: value and food

The streets between Akasaka-Mitsuke and Akasaka stations, centered on Hitotsugi-dori, are the heart of Akasaka, packed with small restaurants and bars. Most of the affordable and family-friendly hotels are here.

OMO3 Tokyo Akasaka, MIMARU Tokyo Akasaka and Hotel Mystays Premier Akasaka are in this area.

Tameike-Sanno: station access and Roppongi

This area runs from Hie Shrine south to Ark Hills, on the edge of Roppongi. Several hotels connect directly to the subway. The Capitol Hotel Tokyu, 1 Hotel Tokyo and ANA InterContinental Tokyo are here.

As a rough guide, expect US$110–250 per night for affordable hotels, US$200–600 for midrange to upscale, and US$450+ for luxury. Akasaka is mostly high-end, so the cheaper rooms go first. Book early for cherry blossom season, fall foliage and New Year.

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

The 8 Best Hotels in Akasaka

1 The Capitol Hotel Tokyu

Why stay here

The Capitol Hotel Tokyu was designed by Kengo Kuma, the architect behind Tokyo’s National Stadium. Wood lattices and shoji-screen motifs give it a quiet, distinctly Japanese feel rather than flashy luxury.

Hie Shrine is right next door. Walk up through its red torii gates in the morning, then head back for breakfast. Few hotels in central Tokyo put you this close to a shrine.

The hotel connects underground to Tameike-Sanno Station, so you can reach the subway without stepping outside. There’s an indoor pool for downtime between sightseeing days.

2 1 Hotel Tokyo

Why stay here

1 Hotel Tokyo is the first hotel in Japan from 1 Hotels, the sustainability-minded luxury brand known in the US for its locations in New York and Miami. It occupies the upper floors of a tower in the new Tokyo World Gate Akasaka complex.

Rooms and public spaces are full of wood, stone and greenery, so it feels calm and natural even high above the city.

With an indoor pool and spa, it’s an easy place to recover after a long day of walking. Choose it if you want the newest hotel in the area or wellness is part of the trip.

3 ANA InterContinental Tokyo

Why stay here

ANA InterContinental Tokyo is a large full-service hotel in Ark Hills, an office and concert-hall complex between Akasaka and Roppongi. It’s often the best value among Akasaka’s luxury hotels.

With many restaurants and bars inside, you don’t have to go out on a jet-lagged first night. Club-floor guests get a lounge with views over the city.

Tameike-Sanno and Roppongi-itchome stations are both about a minute away, so it works well if you want both Akasaka and Roppongi. IHG One Rewards members can earn and use points here.

4 The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho, a Luxury Collection Hotel

Why stay here

The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho occupies the top of a tower in Kioicho, a quiet district just north of Akasaka. Step out at the sky lobby and the city fills the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Rooms have the same big windows, so you can sit by the glass and watch Tokyo light up at night. It’s a hotel where the room itself is part of the trip.

It belongs to Marriott’s Luxury Collection, so Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and redeem points. The hotel connects to Nagatacho Station, and Akasaka-Mitsuke Station is right next door.

5 Hotel New Otani Tokyo Executive House Zen

Why stay here

Hotel New Otani Tokyo is famous for the large, historic Japanese garden on its grounds, with a waterfall, ponds and stone lanterns you can stroll anytime during your stay.

Executive House Zen is a separate wing inside this huge hotel, with its own check-in and lounge. You get the garden and the restaurants without the crowds of a big hotel.

Garden-view rooms look out over the greenery, and Akasaka Palace, Japan’s neo-Baroque state guest house, is a short walk away.

Good to know: This wing is aimed at adult travelers. If you’re traveling with kids, check the booking conditions first.

6 OMO3 Tokyo Akasaka by Hoshino Resorts

Why stay here

Akasaka is mostly luxury hotels, but OMO3 Tokyo Akasaka lets you stay in the middle of the neighborhood for much less. It’s part of OMO, the city-hotel brand of Hoshino Resorts, one of Japan’s best-known hotel groups.

The hotel is built around getting you out the door. Staff called OMO Rangers guide guests around Akasaka’s shops and backstreets, and the hotel’s neighborhood map is handy for picking a dinner spot.

Rooms are small, but if you’re out exploring from morning to night, they’re all you need. Spend what you save on Akasaka’s restaurants.

Good to know: Rooms are compact. Two large suitcases open at once will feel tight.

7 MIMARU Tokyo Akasaka

Why stay here

Most Akasaka hotels are aimed at couples and business travelers. MIMARU Tokyo Akasaka is different: it’s an apartment hotel where a family or group can share one unit.

Units have kitchens, so you can pick up groceries or takeout and eat in. That’s a big help with young kids, or anyone tired of eating out every night.

Per person, it usually costs less than booking two rooms at a luxury hotel. Note that Akasaka Station (Chiyoda Line) is a different station from Akasaka-Mitsuke.

8 Hotel Mystays Premier Akasaka

Why stay here

Hotel Mystays Premier Akasaka is one of the easiest options on the budget in this guide. It sits between Akasaka and Tameike-Sanno stations, so you can use either.

Rooms are small, but they work fine as a base for sleeping. You’re in the middle of Akasaka’s restaurant streets, so dinner is just outside the door.

Good to know: Rooms are compact. If you have a lot of luggage, pick a larger room type.

Tips Before You Book a Hotel in Akasaka

Akasaka Station and Akasaka-Mitsuke Station are different stations

There are several stations around Akasaka: Akasaka-Mitsuke, Akasaka, Tameike-Sanno, Nagatacho and Roppongi-itchome. Akasaka Station (Chiyoda Line) and Akasaka-Mitsuke Station are not the same place, so check which one is closest to your hotel.

Akasaka-Mitsuke and Nagatacho are linked underground and work as one big transfer station. Look up your hotel’s nearest exit number before you arrive, and you’ll save a lot of wandering.

Getting around Tokyo and to the airports

From Akasaka-Mitsuke, the Ginza Line runs straight to Shibuya, Ginza and Asakusa, and the Marunouchi Line runs to Tokyo Station and Shinjuku. Get a Suica or PASMO IC card, which you can also add to the Wallet app on an iPhone.

For Haneda, the usual route is the Ginza Line to Shimbashi, then a change to the airport line. With big suitcases, ask your hotel whether the Airport Limousine Bus stops nearby, or use luggage forwarding, a common service in Japan that sends your bags ahead to the airport or your next hotel.

Eat in the backstreets

Akasaka’s best restaurants are tucked into the lanes one block off the main roads: sushi counters, yakitori grills, izakaya pubs and traditional Japanese restaurants. Being able to walk out to dinner is one of the best parts of staying here.

Popular places often need a reservation, and some small spots have Japanese-only menus. Ask your hotel’s front desk or concierge to book for you.

Hie Shrine and Akasaka Palace are within walking distance

Hie Shrine’s staircase lined with red torii gates is the photo spot. Go early in the morning, when it’s quiet.

Akasaka Palace is Japan’s state guest house, a neo-Baroque palace used to welcome foreign leaders. It opens to the public on days without official events, so check the official website before you go.

No tipping in Japan

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

So, Which Akasaka Hotel Should You Book?

Start by deciding what matters most: design and station access, views and gardens, or price and neighborhood life.

For Japanese design and a station at your door, book The Capitol Hotel Tokyu. For the newest hotel with a pool and spa, choose 1 Hotel Tokyo. For a full-service hotel at a fairer price, go with ANA InterContinental Tokyo.

For big views, book The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho; for a quiet stay by a Japanese garden, Executive House Zen.

On a budget, try OMO3 Tokyo Akasaka or Hotel Mystays Premier Akasaka. Families and groups will like MIMARU Tokyo Akasaka.
