Unfortunately, we weren't lucky enough to see Mount Fuji in June, even in sunny weather, but otherwise we really enjoyed everything.
There are many interesting locations for great photos.

I just got lucky to see Mount Fuji when I was taking a train from Kyoto to Tokyo. Visited Tokyo so many times this is by far the most clearest view I can see the entire Mount Fuji. Sometimes it’s really by luck due to the weather with clear skies. It’s truly breathtaking. 😍 Have you seen Mount Fuji before? Share some of your experiences and photos or video in this post. We would love to see you share 🥰

Having grown accustomed to the fast pace of city life, I especially crave the slow pace of travel. No need to set alarms for early meetings; I can leisurely get up, find a small street stall for a unique breakfast, and then stroll along the riverbank. When I get tired, I can sit on some stone steps and bask in the sun. No need to reply to unread work messages, no need to rush through a packed schedule. I can slowly relax the nerves that have been stretched for months, and by the time I return home, I feel so light I could float.

I came to a farm with friends to pick tomatoes. The greenhouses were very clean, so we didn't have to walk in the mud. The tomatoes hanging on the vines were all bright red and perfectly firm to the touch. We picked one, wiped it clean, and took a bite. It was sweet with a hint of tartness, and the juice flowed right down. They were so much fresher than the artificially ripened tomatoes we buy in supermarkets. You can sample as many as you want in the garden, and they charge by weight after you pick them. The prices are very reasonable. We brought our kids along, and they picked and ate as they went. They were all sweaty but happy, which was much more fun than going to the mall.

2. Hakone – Hot Springs, Art Museums & Fuji Views
Choose Hakone if you want a relaxed escape from the city. It's well-known for the natural hot springs and views fo Mt. Fuji. Most of the visitors will still try a cruise on Lake Ashi, a ride on the Hakone Ropeway, and a visit to the Hakone Open-Air Museum.

Best Time for Day Trips from Tokyo
For me there is not a perfect time to visit cities from Tokyo. Each season gets unique scenery and experiences.
People like to visit during spring and autumn for comfortable weather. But I do love winter in Japan, especially for a view of Mt. Fuji...
Spring (March–May): Cherry Blossoms and Pleasant Weather
Spring is one of the most popular seasons for day trips from Tokyo. Book transportation and popular attractions early because this is one of Japan’s busiest travel periods.
Summer (June–August): Beaches and Outdoor Adventures
Summer is ideal for coastal destinations. It is also the official climbing season for Mt. Fuji, usually from early July to mid-September.
Fall (September–November): Colorful Foliage
Many travelers consider autumn the best season for scenery. Nikko and Hakone are especially famous for their colorful fall landscapes.
Winter (December–February): Onsen and Snowy Views
Clear winter days also provide some of the best views of snow-covered Mt. Fuji.

Central Tokyo Tokyo|2.87km from city center
Beyond being a bit of a walk from the subway, everything else was impeccable. The room was spacious, and the corner glass windows offered great views. The tower building was affordable, unlike the main building which was out of my price range. The garden was expansive, though the cherry blossoms weren't in full bloom yet, so there weren't many flowers. The lower floors are all shopping malls; you can spend a lot of time just wandering around the hotel, from the tower to the main building. It's a great way to pass the time.FromPHP 9,222

We had a fantastic stay at Mitsui Garden Hotel Ginza. The location is perfect—within walking distance of great shopping, restaurants, public transport, the famous Tsukiji Market, and just a stone's throw from the beautiful Hama-rikyu Gardens, which made our stay even more special as it's where we got engaged.
The service was exceptional, with friendly and professional staff who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room was spotless, modern, surprisingly spacious, and offered a beautiful view of the city.
Breakfast was excellent, with a wonderful selection of fresh Japanese and Western dishes to start each day.
Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tokyo.

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.66km from city center
The service at the Imperial Hotel is truly exceptional. From the front desk concierge who escorts guests to their rooms and explains the facilities, the staff are incredibly friendly without being overly formal. It perfectly embodies the hospitality and service standards from Japan's economic boom era.
Honestly, the photos don't do the hotel justice, and the facilities aren't the newest, but once you stay, you'll find it incredibly comfortable. The provided toiletries are also excellent. The toilet area, designed so you can sit and do your makeup, is a really thoughtful touch – the Imperial Hotel in Osaka has the same feature.
It might look unassuming, but it's very thoughtful and provides a comfortable stay.
I found the breakfast buffet to be just okay, not as amazing as some reviews suggest, but it's definitely superior to many hotels in the same price range. Personally, I prefer the Japanese set menu; it truly captures the essence of a Japanese breakfast.FromPHP 12,315

Odaiba Tokyo|5.01km from city center
Overall, I'd give it 4 stars, mainly for the location and the night view, though the hotel's facilities are a bit dated.
🚃 Transportation (very convenient)
Take the Yurikamome Line to Daiba Station, and it's a 3-5 minute walk to the hotel. You even get sea views along the way. Downstairs, there's an Airport Limousine bus that goes directly to Haneda and Narita airports, which is super convenient when you're traveling with luggage.
📍 Location & Surroundings
This deserves high praise – it's right in the heart of Odaiba. You can walk to Fuji TV, Joypolis (Sega Amusements), and the Gundam statue at DiverCity. Aqua City is right downstairs, so dining and shopping are a breeze. It’s perfect for families with kids or young travelers.
🌉 Night View (highly recommended)
I booked a room on the Rainbow Bridge side, and the night view of Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Bay was truly amazing. Just sitting by the window and zoning out made it worth every penny.
🍳 Breakfast (average)
The buffet offers a mix of Japanese and Western options, but nothing particularly memorable. The taste was just okay, and I felt it wasn't great value for money.
🏨 Facilities & Room (gripes)
The decor is a bit old-fashioned. My biggest complaint is the hairdryer in the room – it's so old and weak; drying long hair was a real struggle. I hope the hotel replaces it soon. Other facilities were acceptable.FromPHP 14,143

The hotel is very big with the Main, East, North and Annex Towers. I booked a 3-night in July 26 in Annex Towers. The room is clean and very quiet and the aircon is also very quiet. This gave me a very good rest during my short stay. The staff are generally friendly. The train station is just across the hotel. This made travelling very convenient. There are several shops and restaurants in the hotel and prices are affordable. There is also a 7-Eleven on the second floor.FromPHP 4,302

Shibuya Tokyo|6.16km from city center
Lovely hotel with in great location. However, not truly a five star hotel. At best it is a four star in my opinion.
Lack of explanation of their amenities and what needs to be booked on checking in. Eg Concierge not aware that the jazz club needed to be booked in advance. Not his fault really as he has perhaps never been trained On arrival to the club, we were then literally ushered out to our embarrassment as all other sitting guests observed this as there were three members of staff attempting to use body language as they could not communicate in English nor did they wish to use their phone translate app. Very unlike Japanese people’s calm and kind style.
Many areas in cerulean floor requires updating.

The staff were all friendly and polite, providing excellent service. The hotel's location is fantastic, just a 3-minute walk to the subway station. The breakfast spread was incredibly generous, offering both Western and Japanese options, including fish, fruits (even lychees!), and pastries. Having stayed at many hotels, I can honestly say this breakfast was the best. We booked a triple room, and it felt a bit small as the third bed took up a lot of space. The hotel's self-service laundry was good, though a bit pricey at 600 yen for washing and another 600 yen for drying. WeChat Pay and Alipay are accepted.FromPHP 7,185

The room facilities were well-equipped, and the cleanliness was top-notch; there were no unpleasant odors. Breakfast is served on the first floor.

We traveled to Nagano Prefecture for 2 days from Tokyo and returned to stay at the Conrad again. This time, we switched to a bay view suite. The room was still spacious, and having two bathrooms was very convenient. The view remained impeccable, and the housekeeping staff did a thorough and clean job. We needed packing tape, and they delivered two large rolls, which was a very thoughtful touch ❤️. The documents we needed printed were also handled very well. We have a small suggestion: could the bathtub be replaced with a deeper model? The current one is too shallow, and taller people can't fully enjoy it.FromPHP 17,353

The hotel isn't right next to a subway station, but the shuttle bus service is super convenient, running every 15 minutes to and from Meguro Station. It pretty much covers all your transportation needs. It wasn't until after we checked out that we realized they'd upgraded our room type! It was definitely bigger, and we could easily spread out three 28-inch suitcases, which was really handy. The only downside was that the facilities felt a bit old. Even though it had been renovated, there was still an unpleasant smell from the sink drain in the bathroom.FromPHP 16,580

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.31km from city center
Though small, this hotel has everything you need. Its Ginza location is incredibly convenient, perfect for shopping or quickly getting to Narita Airport via the expressway.
What truly impressed me is how many features are packed into such a compact space. They have a coin-operated laundry and a large public bath. The room, which I'd estimate at about 20 square meters, even managed to fit bunk beds (1.2m/1.5m), making it very family-friendly.
A minor point is that since the hotel is directly above the subway, you occasionally feel vibrations as trains pass. This led to a funny moment when an actual earthquake hit at night, and I initially thought it was just another train going by!FromPHP 3,975

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.84km from city center
My overall experience with this stay was quite complex, feeling more like a test of service management capabilities.
On the first day, the room cleaning quality was noticeably below expectations. The wash area, countertop details, and some amenities weren't clean enough, and the bedding wasn't tidied properly. From a housekeeping management perspective, this felt more like a failure in process execution rather than an isolated incident, and it definitely affected my first impression.
However, after I raised the issue, the hotel's recovery actions were prompt. In the following days, the room cleaning was significantly more standardized, with noticeable improvements in detail. This indicates that the hotel is capable of good service, but the initial day's execution standards simply weren't met.
In contrast, Trip.com's service experience during this incident left a deeper impression. The customer service proactively followed up, communicated efficiently, and handled the situation professionally. They were able to push for problem resolution from a customer experience perspective, demonstrating a mature platform service system. This level of after-sales responsiveness is quite high among current online travel platforms.
Overall Rating:
The hotel's hardware and positioning are fine, but there's room for improvement in service consistency, especially regarding the first-day delivery standards of housekeeping management. Trip.com's coordination and service performance in this incident, on the other hand, highlighted the professional value of their platform.FromPHP 41,464

The facilities are definitely old, but the location is still good. I always stay at this hotel every time I come to Japan because I'm used to it, and Roppongi is a pretty nice area to stay in. It's also close to the subway station. However, this time I was very disappointed; the room they gave me smelled terrible. Even after turning on the ventilation and spraying deodorizer, it still stank. The most disgusting part was that the bed sheets were dirty. I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't brought disposable sheet covers. I couldn't stand it anymore and asked to change rooms. Their attitude was good, but the hygiene situation is really concerning.

The hotel is situated in the heart of Ginza, offering convenient access to transport, luxury brand stores, and restaurants right outside.

Staying at this luxury hotel, nestled within a historic building at Tokyo Station, was an absolute delight. Both the facilities and services were outstanding. The shower and faucet in the room felt incredibly luxurious – a truly 'premium' experience. The hotel's long guest room corridors, with their wall sconces, created a wonderfully warm and inviting sense of depth. A major highlight was the hotel's breakfast and its setting. Served on the 4th floor, the breakfast offered a rich and diverse selection. The peaked, herringbone-patterned ceiling, with one side a wooden roof and the other a light-transmitting glass roof equipped with awnings, filled the space with bright, natural light, making for a truly comfortable start to the day.FromPHP 26,148

Furthermore, the breakfast offered a wide variety of choices, with both Chinese and Western dishes available. The freshly made noodles and baked bread were particularly memorable.

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.74km from city center
If 100 is a perfect score, this hotel has its pros and cons. The convenient location and room size both deserve a 90. The shower water pressure and the service from most of the staff are at least an 80. However, you can clearly hear the subway from the room, and even with the small window handle adjusted up or down, the noise persists. During my two-night stay, one night I couldn't fall asleep until the subway stopped running in the middle of the night. The next morning, I was woken up by the noise around 7 AM. I groggily recorded a video, but my phone's microphone near the bed didn't capture it well. The actual sound is about one to two times louder than what's in the video. The room also didn't provide earplugs, which is quite unbearable – I'm deducting 70 points for this. There were noticeable marks on the room walls and the bathroom floor, so I'm taking off another 50 points. The carpet is old and somewhat damaged, and the room looks dingy. For a room that costs over 1500 per night, this warrants another 60-point deduction. So, this is a hotel with overly distinct pros and cons.FromPHP 8,986

It's directly connected to the Hanzomon subway line, and you can reach the hotel straight from Exit 4 of Suitengumae Station. Plus, the airport bus stop is right outside the main entrance to your left. I'll definitely be staying here again on my next trip to Tokyo! It was so helpful with all my luggage on the way back.FromPHP 7,840
