What Is Tokyo Game Show?

Since its debut in 1996, the Tokyo Game Show (TGS) has grown into a massive annual celebration of gaming, hosted at the Makuhari Messe convention center in Chiba—just a short trip from the heart of Tokyo.

Standing tall alongside Europe’s Gamescom, it’s a premier destination for global gaming showcases and a vibrant hub for industry connection.

While Western events often center on PC and console blockbusters, TGS offers a unique deep dive into Japanese RPGs (JRPGs), anime-inspired titles, mobile gaming, and cutting-edge virtual reality.

It’s also legendary for its massive indie developer showcase and its vibrant, dedicated cosplay community.

Tips for Enjoying Tokyo Game Show 2026 Visit

Choose Your Footwear Wisely: You'll be walking across multiple exhibition halls and may easily cover more than 15,000 steps in a day.
Pack a Reliable Power Bank: A fully charged power bank helps you throughout the day for photos, navigation, ticket scanning and social media.
Be Prepared for Longer Queues: Popular games can have longer waiting times and bring a bottle water, light snacks or something to keep yourself entertained while waiting.
Screenshot Your Tickets and Maps: Mobile data signals inside Makuhari Messe can get super congested, making it tough to load anything on the fly. Do yourself a favor and download your entry QR codes and hall maps to your phone before you even reach the station!
Skip the Nishi-Funabashi Shuffle: During the morning and evening rush, transferring at Nishi-Funabashi Station can get seriously packed. For a much smoother ride, I always recommend hopping on the direct Keiyo Line from Tokyo Station straight to Kaihin-Makuhari—it’s a total game-changer!

5 star

Mitsui Garden Hotel Ginza Premier

9.2/10Great1347 Reviews

Ginza/Tsukiji/Shinbashi Tokyo|0.49km from downtown

This is a brand-new hotel with an excellent location, very close to the subway station. Ginza shopping street is just a few minutes' walk downstairs, yet it's not noisy at all. Downstairs, there's also Kyushu ramen, two FamilyMart convenience stores, and a drug store, making it very suitable for business travelers. Lobby: The lobby is on the 16th floor and offers direct views of Tokyo Tower. There's also a thoughtful smoking room provided for family members. Room: The room has a bit too much furniture, so we had to move some pieces around to open our luggage. The bathroom also functions as both a shower and a bathtub. Breakfast: The breakfast selection is very rich, offering both Japanese and Western options, and the view is also great. Highly recommended; I'll definitely stay here again!

Tokyo Dome Hotel

9.2/10Great3566 Reviews

Suidobashi/Ochanomizu Tokyo|3.75km from downtown

The room was incredibly spacious, and the elevators were very efficient. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and it's conveniently located close to both JR and subway lines, making transportation a breeze. The staff were very friendly, and the self-service check-in and check-out made everything super convenient. You can store your luggage after checking out, and there's a bus service to Haneda Airport.

FromS$ 90

Hilton Tokyo Odaiba

9/10Great938 Reviews

Odaiba Tokyo|5.01km from downtown

Getting to the hotel from Shinagawa was super easy, there's a direct bus. Plus, the hotel is really close to the subway station – you can even see the Yurikamome Line platform right from your room. The best part, though, was going to Disney! The hotel has a direct shuttle that takes you right to the park entrance. You just need to book your morning departure and evening return the day before, which is incredibly convenient!

ANA InterContinental TOKYO by IHG

9.1/10Great153 Reviews

Akasaka Tokyo|2.21km from downtown

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.

Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo

9.2/10Great3995 Reviews

Shinjuku/Nakano Tokyo|6.73km from downtown

This is my second time staying at Keio Plaza Hotel. For Tokyo standards, the rooms are quite spacious. However, it's a bit of a walk to the subway station, at least 10 minutes. On the bright side, the Limousine Bus from the airport drops you off directly at the hotel, which is super convenient. The staff were very welcoming and helped me with my luggage during check-in, making it a breeze. There are also plenty of restaurants nearby, which is very handy. I would definitely choose this hotel again for my next visit.

Marunouchi Hotel

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi/Akihabara/Kinshicho Tokyo|1.35km from downtown

I really love this hotel and have stayed here multiple times. The location is excellent, right by the Marunouchi North Exit of Tokyo Station, just across the traffic light. It's also very close to the Imperial Palace, making it super convenient for shopping, dining, and sightseeing. This time, I noticed some changes: the twin beds were wider, and the 8th-floor breakfast is now entirely self-service.

Hotel Gracery Ginza

8.8/10Very Good1168 Reviews

Ginza/Tsukiji/Shinbashi Tokyo|0.29km from downtown

Overall, it's pretty good. The room isn't huge, but there's enough space to open three suitcases comfortably. It's very clean, and they bring fresh pajamas daily. The amenities are comprehensive, including a fridge – though a microwave would have been a nice addition. Both check-in and check-out are semi-self-service, which is very efficient. Thumbs up! The biggest plus is definitely the location; it's super convenient for getting anywhere. It’s only a five to six-minute walk from Ginza Station, and the surrounding shopping area is fantastic for browsing. Plus, there are plenty of convenience stores nearby.

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Ginza Premier (Renewal Opening on April, 2026)

Ginza/Tsukiji/Shinbashi Tokyo|0.44km from downtown

The newly opened Daiwa Roynet Hotel Ginza is in a fantastic location, right in the heart of Ginza, making it incredibly convenient for shopping and dining. The rooms are spotless and tidy, and the non-smoking room we had was quiet and comfortable. The furnishings and amenities are all brand new, making for a great stay. The front desk staff were attentive and helpful, and check-in was very efficient. Overall, it offers excellent value for money. It's a top choice for couples, perfect whether you're there for a shopping trip or a relaxing getaway. I'd definitely stay here again next time I'm in Tokyo.

Hotel Keihan Tsukiji Ginza Grande

9.3/10Great1717 Reviews

Ginza/Tsukiji/Shinbashi Tokyo|0.89km from downtown

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.

This hotel is in a very convenient location, within walking distance to Fogo Station. There are many subway lines nearby, making it very easy to get around the city. The area also has plenty of restaurants and food options. The room was quite spacious and comfortable, which made our stay very pleasant. The hotel also provides convenient luggage storage, which is very helpful for travelers. Overall, it was a great stay and I would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

Ginza/Tsukiji/Shinbashi Tokyo|0.3km from downtown

Booked this room at the last minute: Standard Room with Double Bed. Walked past this hotel many times on previous trips and always wondered what it'd be like staying here. It turned out fine. The room is a touch on the small side, though, and the bathroom feels a bit dated. The best feature is definitely the public bath. Location is perfect, as it's within walking distance to most major establishments in Ginza.

FromS$ 220

Hotel Monterey Hanzomon

9.2/10Great1467 Reviews

Central Tokyo Tokyo|2.68km from downtown

This hotel is super convenient, right across from Exit 5 of the Hanzo-mon line. It's also really close to popular spots like Chidorigafuchi and the Imperial Palace, and getting to other train lines for transfers is a breeze. We've stayed here twice now and both times were great. The room size was good, and the price was fair. It's not a super new hotel, but its fantastic location and overall decent amenities make it excellent value for money, in my opinion. Oh, and they provide basic toiletries and even some makeup – there were two options on the first floor. Since we stayed in April, it wasn't too hot outside, so we didn't really need them, but I imagine they'd be a nice bonus in the summer. Their tea is also really delicious! They even have face masks, not top-of-the-line, but perfectly fine for a quick hydration boost while traveling.

Shinagawa Prince Hotel

8.7/10Very Good4599 Reviews

Shinagawa Tokyo|5.46km from downtown

The hotel is at great location (right across the road from the Shinagawa train station) but upon check in. They were so disappointing. First I waited in the self check in for 15 mins but were then told i can’t check in for two rooms there. Then I waited 20 mins in the manual check in queue and then all of the sudden. All receptionists left the reception desk. Waited another 15 mins and 2 complains later. The reception ladies came back out. And then there was the breakfast queues. Every morning we had to wait 20 mins to get into breakfast however this was not their fault, there were so many guests and they did try by opening the second floor and directed people to another location. The breakfast options were increditable. The amenities were great but they were all additional costs. The swimming pool was extra £25 per person to use. And when I looked down from my room. It was empty 😅。 The left luggage queue was also another 30 mins. So in total I wasted a day queueing. But the facilities and location was amazing.

Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel

Odaiba Tokyo|4.87km from downtown

This hotel is fantastic! The rooms were promptly cleaned and spotless. Having coffee, water, and a fridge readily available was really convenient. The breakfast was excellent and varied; my kids especially loved the udon noodles, beef bowls, and all the dried fruits. The assorted breads were delicious when toasted! There's a supermarket nearby, which was great for grabbing some sashimi and beer when we got back late at night. The Takanawa station next door offers easy access to Disneyland, Tokyo Station Ichiban-gai, Asakusa, Ginza, and Harajuku. We also highly recommend Uohoshi at Toyosu Market – the food was amazing and affordable, with an incredible amount of sashimi on the rice bowls! Definitely recommend this place for family trips!

Wonderful hotel that goes above and beyond for families traveling with children. From the child amenity kits and pajamas for our toddler to the crib and diaper pail for our infant we felt that every need was met which made for a really comfortable trip. The 7eleven in the hotel was the icing on the cake! We also were able to utilize the Poppins onsite daycare although this is run independently and you should book well in advance of your trip as only 1 day that we requested was available for booking. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Aman Tokyo

9.6/10Amazing162 Reviews

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi/Akihabara/Kinshicho Tokyo|1.59km from downtown

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.

No toiletries provided in room but able to grab them in front of the lift. Hotel staff are friendly, English speaking is okay.

We booked the Tokyo tower side view room. When lying on the bed we are directly facing to the side of the Tokyo tower to enjoy the fantastic tower view. The room is with good size. There is a ventilation feature on the window bay where you can get some fresh air. The bathtub has the bottom massage function which I quite like it. The TV is a bit old and small though. The breakfast we chose is on the top floor where you can enjoy the city view around the hotel. Breakfast options are not too many but definitely enough, the taste is quite good I would say. There are many entertainment options in the hotel, such as public bath and bowling.

Super Hotel Premier Ginza

Ginza/Tsukiji/Shinbashi Tokyo|0.31km from downtown

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!

Shinjuku/Nakano Tokyo|5.44km from downtown

I chose this hotel because of its location (10-15 min walk from nearest train station) and the onsen. There is a 7-11 conveniently located right across the hotel which is perfect for a quick breakfast / supper. The hotel’s onsen operates from 6AM-10AM and 3PM-2AM. It was so nice to take a dip in the warm onsen and enjoy the Tokyo skyline after a full day of walking. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a hotel in Shinjuku area that offers some peace amidst the hustle and bustle!

HOSHINOYA Tokyo

9.1/10Great88 Reviews

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi/Akihabara/Kinshicho Tokyo|1.84km from downtown

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.

Odaiba Tokyo|4.46km from downtown

This is my second stay here. The price is reasonable, and while breakfast is a bit pricey, it's definitely worth it with many delicious and unique local dishes. They have a parking lot, and guests only pay 2500 JPY for 24 hours, which is very fair for Tokyo. The hot spring is also half price for guests, 2200 JPY for adults and 1300 JPY for children. There's a large shopping mall directly connected to the hotel on the sixth floor, offering plenty of great food options like yakiniku and sushi. It's less than a 5-minute walk from Ariake Tennis no Mori Station, and there's a convenience store right opposite the hotel, which is super convenient. Odaiba's core area is just a 1.3 km walk away, making it easy to shop and explore. If you're tired, a ride back won't break the bank.

The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station Exit 35. From Haneda Airport, you can take a bus directly to the Sunshine City bus stop. The hotel staff, including the front desk and restaurant, were all excellent. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. On the 15th floor, there's a hot spring bath, with Yakult available in the mornings and ice cream in the evenings. The ice cream was really good – on our first day, we foolishly bought ice cream at the supermarket, but after that, we just waited for the complimentary evening ice cream! Oh, and there's free ramen available after 9:30 PM. Everything was great, apart from the small room size.

I stayed here for a conference, and it was quite busy, mostly with business travelers. The subway station is right downstairs, and it's within walking distance to the Big Sight exhibition center. As a Hilton Honors member, I got free breakfast, and eating in the lounge meant no waiting in line. The room was relatively spacious compared to most in central Tokyo, though still on the smaller side, but it was very clean and the service was good. There's a direct bus to Haneda Airport right outside, which is super convenient, and there were always taxis waiting downstairs.

Plus, major lines like the JR Yamanote Line, Marunouchi Line, and Yurakucho Line all converge here, so getting anywhere else is a breeze. **Cleanliness**: Most of the housekeeping staff seemed to be from South Asia. **Service**: The front desk really saved the day this time! I had the wrong time for my return bus, and thankfully, the staff reminded me in time, so I didn't miss it.

Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba

Odaiba Tokyo|5.16km from downtown

I booked a standard room below the 20th floor and requested a higher floor with a view of the Statue of Liberty. When I checked in, I spoke to the front desk, and they told me that for the price I paid, I'd only get a tiny glimpse of the Statue of Liberty, even on the 18th floor. To get a direct view from a higher floor (20+), I'd have to pay extra. I decided to take a gamble and stick with my original booking, and it turned out great! The money I saved was enough to cover breakfast at the hotel every day, which was a nice bonus. There are three breakfast options: the garden restaurant on the first floor, the café on the second floor, and a sushi set on the 30th floor. The first and second-floor menus are identical, but the first floor is larger. I tried the sushi once on the 30th floor, but it was just okay; the fish slices were quite thin, and I could get better sushi for the same price at other places. There are several shopping malls nearby, all accessible directly from the hotel lobby (on the second floor) via connecting skywalks. You can also directly access the Yurikamome subway line. The terminal station is Shimbashi, which is about a 20-30 minute ride from the hotel. From Shimbashi, it's about a 1km walk to Ginza, or one stop on the Ginza subway line, or a 700 yen taxi ride. The transportation is very convenient. I also participated in a Tokyo Bay cruise afternoon tea activity nearby; it was just a three-stop train ride from the hotel to Hinode Station, and the Symphony cruise ship pier was right outside the station.

Ginza/Tsukiji/Shinbashi Tokyo|0.74km from downtown

The hotel's location is great, quite close to the subway station, and it's convenient to walk to Ginza. In my opinion, the one major drawback is that the staff's English proficiency is absolutely terrible! On both occasions I've stayed here, the front desk staff could barely speak English during check-in, requiring a translation device, which wasted a lot of time and effort. Even more ridiculous, when I called from my room to request an extra pillow, the staff member who answered couldn't understand English. We repeated the English word for ”pillow” at least ten times, and even spelled out the letters one by one, but it was still useless – we simply couldn't communicate. Overall, the hotel has a good location and the rooms are generally decent, but the English level of the staff is genuinely the worst I've encountered in any Japanese hotel.

The Tokyo Station Hotel

9.5/10Amazing222 Reviews

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi/Akihabara/Kinshicho Tokyo|1.09km from downtown

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.

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi/Akihabara/Kinshicho Tokyo|2.31km from downtown

The hotel room was very clean and a decent size. The windows were amazing – even though there was an elevated highway outside, I couldn't hear any traffic noise, it was really quiet. The hotel is conveniently located right next to the shuttle bus stop for both Haneda and Narita airports. If you head left out of the hotel, there's a great spot on a bridge to photograph the Tokyo Skytree, and to the right, you'll find the famous Ningyo-yaki shop and lots of delicious restaurants. The Suitengu-mae subway station is directly accessible from the hotel's basement (B1), which is incredibly convenient.

Sheraton Miyako Hotel Tokyo

Shinagawa Tokyo|4.74km from downtown

The soundproofing is terrible; I barely slept because it was so noisy. You can hear every step from upstairs, and I didn't get a good night's sleep for three days. The hotel is quite old. Its only selling point is the nice courtyard. The sauna is very old and costs extra. There are virtually no amenities.

Hyatt Regency Tokyo

9/10Great681 Reviews

Shinjuku/Nakano Tokyo|7.01km from downtown

Facilities: I'm not sure if the cabinets were renovated, but the edges are incredibly sharp. It really doesn't fit the Japanese emphasis on detail. I actually cut my arm. Ambiance: The lobby is beautiful, and the transportation is very convenient. There are shuttle buses right outside the hotel that go to the city center and the airport. Service: The front desk staff were nice, but when we tried to book a restaurant, they asked a bunch of questions about allergies. Only after all those questions did they call the restaurant, only to tell us there were no tables available. Couldn't they have checked availability first and skipped all the allergy questions? It was a huge waste of time. Cleanliness: Unfortunately, the room cleaning wasn't very thorough. Every time we came back, the trash on the floor was still there. In the mornings, they kept ringing the doorbell before we were even awake. The sheets weren't changed when they were dirty, and when a pillow fell on the floor, they just picked it up and put it back on the bed, still covered in dust from the floor. This really doesn't live up to five-star standards.

Stayed at Hotel Celestine and it was a solid experience all around. Service was clean and professional. The staff handled everything smoothly without overdoing it. The property itself is super well kept, calm vibe, and a nice break from the chaos outside. Rooms were comfortable, modern, and had everything I needed.

The room was clean and tidy, and the front desk service was very attentive, providing me with lots of guidance on transportation – really commendable! I stayed at this hotel two years ago and just spent another three nights here. The breakfast has definitely improved; I ate there on my check-out day because of the heavy rain, and it was quite good, definitely worth the price. Ironically, the trendy, long-queued bakery near the hotel that everyone raves about was actually quite mediocre.

Hotel New Otani Tokyo Garden Tower

9.3/10Great823 Reviews

Central Tokyo Tokyo|2.87km from downtown

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.

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi/Akihabara/Kinshicho Tokyo|1.13km from downtown

The main advantage is its five-minute proximity to Tokyo Station. To get there, exit Tokyo Station via the Yaesu Central Gate, cross the street, walk straight until you reach Tsubakiya Coffee, and the small street on your left is where it's located. Another great plus: the shower caddy has three shelves, and the middle one is perfectly sized for women! That's a rare find!

Shinjuku/Nakano Tokyo|6.71km from downtown

Perfect for a family of four. It's incredibly convenient to buy groceries from a nearby supermarket and cook them back at the hotel. You can walk just a few minutes to the Shinjuku Washington Hotel to catch the airport shuttle, and it's the same stop for both arrival and departure, which saves a lot of hassle with luggage. You need to pick up toothbrushes, toothpaste, and slippers at the front desk, while tea bags are self-service. This hotel has a lot of international guests. If you're planning to shop, there's a bus stop just a dozen meters to the right of the hotel entrance, which is very convenient. There's a small but delicious sushi restaurant downstairs nearby. Directly across from the airport shuttle stop is a park, perfect for taking the kids out in the morning before the shops open.
