Decoding the Tokyo Disney Crowd Prediction Website
Source: tdrexplorer.com (by Chris)
For the most reliable crowd predictions, savvy travelers turn to a Japanese fan-run website that’s a go-to resource for locals.
It offers daily crowd forecasts for both Tokyo Disneyland (ディズニーランド) and Tokyo DisneySea (ディズニーシー) up to six months ahead, pulling insights from ticket booking data, historical attendance trends, and upcoming event schedules.
How to use this Japanese tool
- Check out the crowd prediction calendar for the month you're planning your getaway!
- Each day features two colors: the top bar represents Tokyo Disneyland, while the bottom bar highlights Tokyo DisneySea.
- Colors range from white (very empty) to blue, green, yellow, orange, red, and finally black (extremely crowded), spanning eight different levels.
- Hover or tap on a date to check out the estimated attendance in thousands, get the latest weather forecast, and see what special events—like parades, seasonal shows, or fireworks—are happening!
Quick reference color guide
Color | Crowd levels | Average wait times for popular rides |
|---|---|---|
White | Wonderfully deserted | 15 to 30 minutes |
Blue | Deserted | 30 to 45 minutes |
Green | Less than stellar | 45 to 60 minutes |
Yellow | Normal | 60 to 90 minutes |
Orange | Busy | 90 to 120 minutes |
Red | Packed with people | 120 to 180 minutes |
Black | Packed with people | 180 minutes or more |
English language options
For travelers who prefer an English interface, Disney Real (en.disneyreal.asumirai.info) is your best bet. This Japanese fan-run site offers English crowd calendars looking six months ahead, along with live wait times and historical accuracy data for both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.
The calendar uses a letter-grade system, ranging from A (nice and quiet, with waits under 30 minutes) to F (packed, with waits of 140 to 159 minutes) and even S (intense crowds, with waits over 160 minutes). You'll also find park operating hours and weather forecasts for every date.
As an alternative, TDR Explorer offers a simpler English crowd calendar. You can also check the official Tokyo Disney Resort website for park operating hours, which serve as a handy proxy: generally, longer hours mean higher expected attendance.

When Is the Best Time to Visit Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea to Avoid the Crowds?
While predictions can shift from year to year, the core patterns remain steady. Use these as a helpful guide when choosing your dates, and always double-check against the live crowd calendar before you finalize your plans!
The best days to visit
Tuesday and Wednesday are consistently the quietest days at both parks, with Thursday coming in a close third. Saturday is by far the busiest, followed by Sunday and Friday.
The best weeks of the month
You’ll generally find the second and third weeks to be quieter than the first (which often includes a Japanese public holiday) or the last (which tends to see some weekend spillover).
Best months to visit
- Early February. It’s the quietest window of the entire year. The crisp, cool weather (5 to 12°C) keeps the daytrippers at bay, and with no major holidays on the calendar, you’ll have the place all to yourself.
- Early to mid-June is a sweet spot—it’s after the Golden Week crowds have dispersed but just before the summer school break kicks off. Just keep in mind that mid-June signals the start of Japan's rainy season, so be sure to pack a poncho!
- Early December is a sweet spot—it’s just after the vibrant autumn peak of November and right before the holiday rush kicks in. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape, aim for a Wednesday or Thursday during those first two weeks of the month; you’ll find things are wonderfully quiet.
Best dates to avoid the crowds at Tokyo Disneyland
Month | Best dates to avoid the crowds | Estimated attendance (in thousands) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
February | 6 | 16 | It’s the single quietest window of the year. February 6th, in particular, is projected to see just 16,000 visitors. |
March | 1 | 33 | Peak season kicks off! While early March still sees a manageable 33,000 visitor days, those numbers climb past 40,000 from mid-month onward. |

May | 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, 28, 29 | 16 | Try to steer clear of Golden Week in early May. If you visit on weekdays during mid-to-late May, you'll still find plenty of space with around 16,000 visitors per day. |
June | 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 30 | 16 | Weekdays in June are a fantastic time to visit, though keep in mind that the rainy season kicks off mid-month—so be sure to pack your rain gear! |
July | 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10 | 16 | Weekdays in early July, just before the summer school break kicks off, offer your final chance to enjoy smaller crowds until autumn rolls around. |
August | 31 | 21 | August is the heart of peak summer season, with most days seeing crowds of over 23,000 visitors. Only August 31st offers a slight reprieve, dipping to around 21,000. |

The Best Days and Times to Skip at Tokyo Disney
Tokyo Disneyland
Certain dates and times see attendance spike. If you're looking to escape the crowds, these are the windows to avoid.
Period | When | Why it's so packed |
|---|---|---|
Weekends year-round | Every Saturday and Sunday | Saturday is the busiest day at both parks, with attendance often 40 to 60 percent higher than the following Tuesday, while Friday sees a slightly smaller lift. |
Japan's Golden Week | Late April through early May | With a cluster of four Japanese public holidays, you'll find a week-long surge in domestic travel. It’s the busiest time of year, so expect crowds and keep in mind that ticket availability drops fast! |
Japan's summer school break | Mid-July through the end of August | Both parks are bustling every single day of the week, with August standing out as the busiest month of the entire year. |
Obon festival | Between August 13th and 16th | It coincides with the summer school break, creating an even bigger wave of domestic travel. |
Chinese New Year | Late January to mid-February (dates vary) | It draws huge crowds from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia, so expect wait times to soar even during what would typically be a quiet time of year. |
Christmas and New Year | Dec 23–Jan 3 | Both parks feature seasonal shows and festive decorations, with attendance remaining high throughout the entire period. |
The ultimate Halloween finale | The final weekend of October | This seasonal event really brings in the crowds from all over the country for its big closing weekend! |
Cherry blossom season | Late March through early April | This time period overlaps with Japanese school spring break. While it’s not an official Disney event, it does bring a significant surge of international visitors to Tokyo! |
💡 Pro tips
- Rainy days at Tokyo Disneyland can actually be a hidden gem! Attendance often drops by 30 to 50 percent, and wait times for popular indoor attractions can be cut in half.
- The trade-off? You might get a little wet, some outdoor shows could be canceled, and your photos won't be quite as sunny. But if you don't mind wearing a poncho, a rainy Tuesday in June can be one of the quietest, most magical days of the year.
Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea: How to Get In and Master Your Visit
Tokyo DisneySea
Fantasy Springs made its grand debut at Tokyo DisneySea in June 2024, and it’s nothing short of magical! This enchanting new area brings three beloved stories to life with themed sub-lands inspired by Frozen, Tangled, and Peter Pan.
Guests can dive into the wonder with three spectacular headliner attractions: Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey, Rapunzel's Lantern Festival, and Peter Pan's Never Land Adventure. Since the gates opened, it has quickly become the most sought-after destination in either park!
Access to Fantasy Springs is restricted, meaning you can't just stroll in from the main DisneySea entrance. Here are the three ways to get in:
- Standby Pass (free, app-based). Once you’ve entered the park, grab your Standby Pass through the Tokyo Disney Resort app. Keep in mind that Standby Passes for Fantasy Springs usually drop right when the park opens and are often snapped up within 30 to 60 minutes! Once you’ve secured yours, just head to the area during your designated time window to join the line for the attractions.
- Disney Premier Access (paid, per attraction). You can purchase DPA through the app for a specific attraction and time slot. Fantasy Springs DPA typically costs ¥1,500 to ¥2,500 (about $10 to $17) per person, per attraction. Keep in mind that DPA usually sells out by mid-morning on busy days!
- Fantasy Springs Magic ticket (paid, area entry). This is a paid upgrade that grants you access to Fantasy Springs without needing a Standby Pass, and it even includes one DPA slot for a Fantasy Springs attraction! Prices range from ¥7,000 to ¥12,000 (roughly $47 to $80), depending on the day.
Recommended strategy for first-time explorers
- Make sure to get to the park gate at least 45 minutes before opening time to beat the crowds!
- Once you step into the park, be sure to open the Tokyo Disney Resort app right away!
- Be sure to snag your Fantasy Springs Standby Pass the moment they become available—usually right when the park opens!
- If you miss out on a Standby Pass, be sure to purchase Disney Premier Access (DPA) for at least one of the Fantasy Springs attractions!
- If this trip is a top-tier Disney experience for you and your budget allows, be sure to book your Fantasy Springs Magic ticket in advance!
Please note that you won't be able to enter Fantasy Springs without a Standby Pass, Disney Premier Access (DPA), or a Fantasy Springs Magic ticket.
A Guide to Standby Pass and Disney Premier Access
There are two systems at Tokyo Disney for managing lines at popular attractions, and getting the hang of both is key to a seamless visit in 2026.
The Standby Pass is a free service that you can use right through the Tokyo Disney Resort app! It assigns you a specific time window to join the line for an attraction, so you’re free to explore other parts of the park while you wait for your slot. We use the Standby Pass for our busiest attractions when regular wait times get a bit too long. Just keep in mind that availability is limited each day!
Disney Premier Access (DPA) is a paid service, typically costing ¥1,500 to ¥2,500 (about $10 to $17) per person, per attraction. It lets you skip the bulk of the standby line for a specific ride at a set time! DPA is available for a rotating selection of headliner attractions, including those in Fantasy Springs, Beauty and the Beast: Enchanted Tale (at Tokyo Disneyland), and Soaring: Fantastic Flight (at Tokyo DisneySea).
Travel tips
- You can book both of these through the Tokyo Disney Resort app once you've entered the park!
- Download the app before your visit and get everything set up with your ticket!
- On busy days, passes for the most popular attractions tend to sell out within just an hour of the park opening!
- The app can be a bit finicky right when the park opens, so be ready to give it another try if needed!

Central Tokyo Tokyo|2.87km from city center
The hotel's location and surroundings are excellent. The only minor inconvenience was having to walk all the way around to access the garden downstairs; I'm not sure if we just missed a more direct entrance. On our second day in Tokyo, we experienced a typhoon with strong winds and heavy rain, but the soundproofing in the room was so good we couldn't hear a thing – it was incredibly quiet. Getting around was also very convenient, as it's close to the subway station, making it easy to reach popular areas like Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Ginza.FromBRL 1,235

Highly recommend the Mitsui Garden Hotel Ginza Premier in Tokyo! The room offered an amazing view, perfect for enjoying the bustling city lights at night. It's just a few minutes' walk to Shimbashi Station, making it super convenient for getting around and shopping. The sky lobby is quite unique, service communication was smooth, and the room was clean and tidy. Its Ginza location makes shopping and dining effortless. Definitely my top choice for a Tokyo trip.FromBRL 1,498

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.66km from city center
I brought my parents to Tokyo, and we managed to snag a discount at the Imperial Hotel, booking two connecting rooms. It was a great experience to soak in the old-money vibe of this classic hotel.
The hotel facilities aren't brand new, but the stay was incredibly comfortable. Each room had a great view, with a table and chairs by the window perfect for enjoying the scenery. Although it's right next to the railway tracks, the soundproofing was surprisingly excellent. With the subway stopping at night, our sleep was completely undisturbed. Compared to most hotels in Tokyo, the room size was very generous, so two people didn't feel cramped at all.
The shower experience in the bathroom was particularly good, with a three-function rain shower head and ample water pressure, making showering a real treat. The hotel doesn't have self-service laundry, and the laundry service isn't cheap, but it's a reasonable price compared to hotels of a similar caliber.
The hotel is quite large, with several restaurants and shops inside, art installations everywhere, and carpets throughout, creating a wonderfully atmospheric place to wander around. The large fresh flower arrangement and chandelier at the main entrance, which might not look as stunning in photos, were still breathtaking to see in person.
The breakfast was very good. While the variety wasn't extensive, the quality was consistent and the taste was excellent. The service level was very high, with staff being both elegant and enthusiastic.
The location is a major highlight: a side exit leads directly to a lively food street, and it's just a 3-minute walk to Ginza for shopping. The main entrance faces Hibiya Park, with no shops obstructing the view around, making it very convenient for taxis. Overall, it's highly recommended for family trips.FromBRL 1,620

It's been 10 years since I last visited Japan. Originally, I thought I'd have to stay in Ginza for some last-minute shopping before heading back. However, it turned out to be a small Golden Week in Japan, and even the ridiculously tiny 4-star hotels in Ginza were more expensive than this place.
After my travel companion and I stayed here, we regretted not having chosen it sooner. It's only a 20-minute drive from the city center, and there are plenty of shopping and dining options nearby. Most importantly, the rooms are spacious and the service is excellent.
Next time I visit Tokyo, this will definitely be my first choice for accommodation.FromBRL 584

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.29km from city center
Given its prime location, you can't expect both spaciousness and a cheap price. The value for money is decent.
However, the room felt stuffy and relied solely on the air conditioning, which created a stale smell, as if it had been closed up for a long time. I had to keep the AC on low. I'm unsure about the cleanliness of the duvet; my legs were incredibly itchy for the first half of the night. It only got better after I turned the AC much lower in the latter half.
One of the pillows had a strong, hard-to-describe oily head smell. There was also a noticeable accumulation of dust in some corners.
The service throughout was genuinely cold. Despite my fluent Japanese, there wasn't a single smile, which is quite unusual for Japan. Perhaps working in Ginza is truly exhausting. They didn't mention the complimentary beer and coffee that was advertised on Ctrip. Ms. Akiko at the front desk, this kind of service really isn't acceptable in the hospitality industry. If you feel so wronged by your job, maybe you should find a different one.FromBRL 729

The hotel has been recently renovated, so it's very clean and quiet. They offer daily room cleaning. However, the breakfast isn't great. For 3000 yen, which is about 137 RMB, it's a rip-off. We stayed for 5 days and it was the exact same every morning. Besides some toast and salad, there were no fried eggs or pastries. There was hardly anything else edible. It would have been better not to book a room with breakfast. There's a 7-Eleven and Lawson downstairs, which offer much better value for money!FromBRL 756

Akasaka Tokyo|2.21km from city center
Room and bed were very comfortable, immaculately clean and modern. 2 mins walk from train station, if you need lift access to train then a 6 mins walk, we had a stroller.
Breakfast was a bit of a zoo, we went during Christmas, very busy! But tables were spacious so even though there were so many people you don’t feel cramped. Good variety of food selection. We had dinner at the Japanese teppanyaki restaurant. Delicious, especially the tuna salad.
I found the lobby staff a little lack of personality, at check in, no mentioning of where breakfast will be, what time check out is. Just checked you in and that’s it, no personal notes in the room. When I expressed I’ve lost my phone at the shop in Tokyo, no sign of empathy (it was a western male staff) no gesture of helpfulness, very cold and robotic. This goes for concierge also, he is an older western gentleman, he needs to use Google translate also which is frustrating cause I could do exactly the same research with Google translate.
Overall, hardware is solid, need to fine tune the staff, sprinkle a little bit of personality in them.FromBRL 1,894

All room types feature private balconies, with ocean view rooms directly facing the Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Bay's night skyline. The room sizes significantly exceed those of similarly priced hotels in central Tokyo. For families with children, amenities for kids are proactively provided upon check-in, ensuring excellent comfort during your stay.
The facilities are well-maintained, and both Chinese and English services are seamless. There's a complimentary gym and multiple restaurants on-site. The drawbacks include the hotel's age and the fact that the pool requires an additional fee. It's also a bit further from the central city shopping districts.

[HOSHINOYA Tokyo: A Vertical Ryokan Experience]
HOSHINOYA Tokyo offers a truly unique concept. It is a traditional Japanese ryokan built vertically within a modern skyscraper, located in the prestigious Otemachi district. It provides a serene, luxurious escape right in the middle of the bustling city, perfectly blending classic ryokan hospitality with world-class modern design. We enjoyed a wonderful three-day, two-night stay at the property from 29 May to 31 May. We chose not to make any meal reservations, which gave us the flexibility to simply relax and explore the surrounding city.
[Getting There]
We travelled from Fufu Hakone via a day trip to Enoshima and Kamakura. We took a direct train from Kamakura to Tokyo Station, followed by a short walk to the hotel, and arrived at around 8:00 PM. To make the transit completely effortless, our luggage was picked up and delivered directly to the hotel by LuggAgent on the same day.
[Arrival and Check-In]
The hotel is situated in the central business district and distinctly stands out from the surrounding buildings. The discreet entrance completely shields you from the busy streets. Upon entering, staff immediately store your shoes, as the entire tatami-matted building operates on a barefoot or socks-only policy. We were incredibly lucky to catch a traditional jap instrument performance, which is usually reserved for weekends. A designated staff member managed our check-in with welcome snack & tea and escorted us to level 15. A major highlight is the exclusive lounge on each floor, shared by only 6 suites. It functions as a private living room, fully stocked with complimentary seasonal teas, coffees, and traditional snacks.
[The Suite]
We stayed in the Sakura suite. Rather than trying to describe the beautiful layout in words, I will let my photos speak for themselves. The beds are low to the floor with a mid-level hardness that we found quite comfortable, and each bed comes with two soft pillows. There is also a television cleverly hidden behind a mirror, though it is worth noting that it only broadcasts Japanese channels. We kept it switched off to maintain the consistent traditional ryokan feel. The provided yukata is absolutely superb. It comes as a full set complete with an inner layer, an outer layer, socks, and a small handbag. The material is soft, stretchy, and incredibly comfortable for lounging and walking around the property.
[The Top-Floor Onsen]
Having a natural hot spring in central Tokyo is a rare luxury. The onsen is located on the 17th floor and features a stunning design where the roof is open to the sky. As cameras are strictly prohibited, you will have to visualise it or check the hotel website for gallery photos. I understand that the bath is a salty hot spring containing a high concentration of seawater and seaweed minerals trapped deep in the ground. Soaking in this soothing water gently embraces the skin and helps alleviate fatigue in both body and mind. The onsen is open daily from 3:00 PM to 11:30 AM. It was the absolute perfect way to warm up and recharge before we headed out for a busy day.

After a soak, you can grab an ice cream or head to the observation deck to enjoy the view with some crackers and apple juice – a truly leisurely holiday experience. The room was comfortable and quiet with ample space for luggage, offering city views and a glimpse of the ocean bridge. The scenery at sunset was particularly beautiful. The staff were all very pleasant, especially the restaurant staff during breakfast, who were absolutely outstanding!FromBRL 798

The room was quite spacious for Tokyo standards, and the hotel's public areas were also beautiful. The shuttle service to Meguro Station was very convenient. We chose this hotel mainly because we planned to shop in Ginza and Omotesando, and its location is great for both subway and taxi travel. The teppanyaki restaurant on B2, however, was just okay – not particularly recommended.FromBRL 2,002

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.35km from city center
The location of this hotel is simply unbeatable, right next to Tokyo Station. You don't even need to go above ground; there's a dedicated hotel elevator in the Otemachi exit underground, which is incredibly convenient. However, if you're transferring to other subway lines, expect about an 8-minute walk for most of them. Also, a heads-up: the front desk is on the 7th floor, but there's a hotel sign on the ground floor for taxi drop-offs.
Since the hotel is right by Tokyo Station, you have easy access to all sorts of food, drinks, and shopping, which is why I didn't bother with the hotel breakfast. I could sleep in every day and try different local delicacies. Even the FamilyMart convenience store had amazing food options.
It's an older hotel that was renovated last year, but the facilities are complete, clean, and comfortable. What I particularly liked was the shower setup; unlike some hotels where you shower inside the tub, here they have a separate shower space next to the tub. This design makes the bathroom feel quite spacious, even if the room itself is on the smaller side. I've seen this kind of bathroom design in other Japanese hotels too, so I wonder if it's a common feature in local accommodations.
The front desk staff spoke good English, and I was very satisfied with their luggage storage and early check-in services. Plus, you need your room card to operate the elevators, which adds to the security.
I was out and about from morning till night, so I didn't get a chance to experience the restaurant or bar, but overall, the value for money is high. I'd definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to Tokyo! It's perfect for anyone who values convenience, loves shopping, and isn't too particular about room size.FromBRL 1,974

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.59km from city center
It was 5:30 PM in Otemachi, Tokyo, and a massive halo, like a holy light, enveloped the area, reflecting the silhouette of the world's most beautiful CBD on the glass facade of Otemachi Tower. Perched atop this magnificent skyscraper, Aman Tokyo, which stunned the world a decade ago, remains an unparalleled benchmark for modern city hotels.
｜The soaring 30-meter high atrium, crafted with washi lanterns, wood textures, and concrete and rock, creates a 'dry landscape' garden in the urban clouds.
｜The view facing the Imperial Palace is arguably Tokyo's most beautiful skyline (it ruthlessly trumps the already impressive view from the neighboring Bulgari).
｜While the ambiance at Arva, the Italian restaurant on the other side of the lobby, is superb, the food wasn't to my taste. I'd recommend the Aman Cafe on the first floor, a glasshouse enveloped by the 'Otemachi Forest' oasis instead.FromBRL 13,661

We had a wonderful stay at The Blossom Hibiya! The hotel is in a very convenient location, just a short walk from Shimbashi Station and close to Ginza and Hibiya.
The room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed, with an amazing city view. The lobby and lounge were also lovely, and the staff were friendly, courteous, and very helpful throughout our stay.
We especially enjoyed the breakfast—it had a great variety of Japanese and Western options, and everything was delicious.
Overall, The Blossom Hibiya exceeded our expectations. Great location, beautiful views, comfortable rooms, and excellent service. We would definitely stay here again when we visit Tokyo! ❤️🇯🇵FromBRL 1,800

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.09km from city center
I visited Tokyo with my 88-year-old father. The hotel’s location is arguably the absolute best, making it incredibly convenient to visit Tokyo’s major attractions. The hotel facilities were also highly satisfying. First and foremost, the amenities in the guest room were excellent, and the thoughtful accessibility considerations for the elderly or infirm gave us great peace of mind. For instance, the provision of a bath chair with a backrest was very impressive. The hygiene and meticulous housekeeping were of the highest standard. Furthermore, the non-slip mat provided in the bathroom clearly reflected a deep consideration for the guests' specific needs. All of this, of course, is a testament to the staff’s proactive service and attentive care.
If there was one minor disappointment, I wish a wider variety of pillows had been available in the room. In this regard, I felt it fell slightly short of meeting guests' diverse preferences. Additionally, as a helpful suggestion for safety, designing bathroom doors to open outward to facilitate emergency access in case of an accident inside is a fundamental design principle for luxury hotels. While preventing accidents altogether is ideal, being fully prepared for emergencies is what sets the highest standard of excellence.
On another note, despite the hotel being located within a major railway station, there was absolutely no noise. The soundproofing was truly remarkable. The breakfast offered a rich and diverse selection, beautifully balancing traditional Japanese cuisine with Western options. While ordering a more unique or specialized beverage took a bit of time, the quality and taste were highly satisfying. The other facilities, particularly the restaurants and cafes, were exceptionally calm, elegant, and quiet, providing a very pleasant experience. The food, of course, tasted excellent. However, you must ensure you have ample time to enjoy it; it can require a significant amount of time and patience before the food is served in front of you.
Overall, our experience was exceptionally satisfying and wonderful. With its rich historical background and narrative, the hotel offered a deeply engaging and far from boring stay.FromBRL 3,215

Stayed for four nights and was very satisfied. The front desk staff spoke good English and were friendly. The room wasn't small for Tokyo, and the booth seating was very convenient. They provided various skincare products and mineral water, which were replenished daily. On the 14th floor, there's a tea break area with free cookies and drinks, and also a spa, though the prices are quite expensive compared to back home. The room had a fridge, safe, and iron, and the view was excellent. I heard some rooms even have a view of Tokyo Tower. The breakfast had a wide variety. The only thing I didn't like was having to shower in the bathtub.FromBRL 808

This was my very first visit to Tokyo, and staying at Dai-ichi Hotel Tokyo was an absolute privilege. From the front lobby to room service and the Club Lounge, I was deeply moved by the incredible hospitality and kindness of every single staff member.
Coming to Tokyo without knowing much about the city, I couldn't have picked a better location. It provided seamless access to all the places I wanted to visit, including Ginza, Tokyo Station, the Imperial Palace, Azabudai Hills, and Shibuya. On top of that, the vibrant izakayas surrounding the hotel were so inviting that I wished I could visit them all.
Without a doubt, I will choose this hotel again for my next trip to Tokyo.
Thank you once again to the entire team for a memorable stay.FromBRL 1,378

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|2.31km from city center
The room was a bit old but reasonably well-maintained, and the cleanliness was okay. However, the automatic flush on the bidet toilet was very dirty, so I didn't use it. Also, I stayed for 4 nights, and while my child's bed didn't have bugs, on my first night, I felt something like dust mites jumping on me. After 4 nights, I had about 8-9 bites around my waist and stomach. I was really unhappy about this; I suspect it was bed bugs due to the old age of the mattress and duvet inserts. The picture is after applying mosquito balm, so the redness has gone down a bit; originally, they were red and raised.
On the plus side, the toiletries were L'Occitane, and the airport bus stop for the return journey is just a 3-minute walk across what I assume is the southern road to the main bus terminal. There's a new Lawson across the street, and a 7-Eleven just a few steps away. Two drugstores are within a 5-minute walk. The subway entrance downstairs is convenient for going to Disneyland. For other places, you generally have to walk about 8 minutes to another Hibiya Line station to get to Shibuya, Akihabara, and other areas.FromBRL 1,206

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.36km from city center
Pros:
the duty manager Mai who is fluent in English and demonstrated outstanding attentiveness and a genuine dedication to hospitality. She took the time to truly understand my specific needs and thoughtfully arranged the perfect room for me.
To be quite honest, this level of personalized care and attention to detail is something rarely encountered in the hospitality industry nowadays. I was both deeply impressed and delightfully surprised by this experience.
Cons:
regarding the housekeeping service during my stay, While I appreciate that the bedsheets were changed diligently, the overall cleanliness and attention to detail have been highly disappointing.
Instead of clearing the room, the housekeeper consistently left trash behind after cleaning. Day1 The housekeeper actually stuffed a piece of paper waste into the room card slot. Day 2 The trash remained unclean.
Day 3 The housekeeper even left their own dirty cleaning towel right next to the bathroom sink. （see the picture)
As a guest, I expected a high standard of hygiene and professionalism, but these incidents have made my stay quite uncomfortable.FromBRL 918

Roppongi Tokyo|3.16km from city center
I had a pleasant stay at remm Roppongi. The staff were very polite and helpful throughout our visit. We arrived earlier than check-in time, and they kindly allowed us to leave our luggage at the lobby, which was very convenient. The lobby area also has a nice selection of amenities that you can take as needed—it's a thoughtful touch. The room itself was clean and tidy, though quite compact, which is typical for Tokyo. There was a simple massage chair in the room, which was fun to try out after a long day of walking. The view from the window was simple. The location, however, is excellent—just a 2-minute walk from the metro station, making it super easy to get around. Overall, a solid choice for a short stay in Roppongi.FromBRL 765

Walkable distance to Tokyo Station character street, really convenient to start shopping right away. The service was great until checkout, we called the front desk asking for late checkout arrangements and the staff agreed to delay the checkout time to 11:30am. When we got down to the reception, there was only one staff and another couple were checking out so we just waited patiently at the back. They took quite some time and some more customers were queuing behind us for check out. When it came to our turn, the female staff immediately changed her smile to poker face and accused us for being late as the time was already 11:40am even though we clearly arrived earlier than that. She wanted to charge us extra but we insisted. Her attitude was very rude and made us feel super uncomfortable.FromBRL 597
