Tokyo Typhoon Guide: Warning App & Travel Tips for Singapore Travellers

Author's Profile Picture
Tokyo Typhoon

Tokyo is a year-round destination, but if you are planning a trip during summer or early autumn, it is worth keeping an eye on typhoon forecasts.

A typhoon does not automatically mean you Tokyo holiday will be cancelled. However, strong winds, heavy rain, flooding and transport disruptions can affect flights, trains and outdoor attractions.

For Singapore travellers, the most important thing is to know when typhoon activity is usually higher, where to check official updates and what to do if your plans suddenly change.

Understanding Tokyo Typhoon Season

Tokyo Typhoon

Japan does not have a fixed typhoon season, as tropical cyclones can form at different times of the year. However, typhoon activity in the western North Pacific is much higher from summer into early autumn.

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), an average of 25.1 tropical cyclones formed each year between 1991 and 2020, with formation peaking in August at 5.7 and September at 5.0 per year.

For Tokyo, August and September are the key months to watch although July and October can also see typhoon impacts.

Tokyo Typhoon Months at a Glance

August and September can be particularly important for travellers because they combine higher typhoon activity with warm, humid weather and heavier rainfall.

This does not mean that every August or September trip will be rainy. Tokyo can still have plenty of sunny days. The main issue is that one approaching typhoon can affect flights, trains and outdoor plans for several hours or longer, depending on its track or strength.

What Happens in Tokyo When a Typhoon Hits?

Tokyo Typhoon

A typhoons does not automatically shut down the whole of Tokyo.

The impact can range from rain and train delays to widespread and service suspensions, flight cancellations and temporary closures of attractions.

For tourists, transport is one of the biggest concerns. Tokyo has an extensive rail network but strong winds and heavy rain can affect both above-ground and underground services.

During strong winds, trains may have to reduce speed or temporarily suspend operations, and services on above-ground sections can be halted for longer periods when a typhoon approaches.

Haneda and Narita Flight Disruptions During Typhoon Season

If you are flying from Singapore to Tokyo, your flight may arrive at or depart from Haneda Airport or Narita International Airport.

During a typhoon, airlines may change schedules based on weather, airport conditions and operational requirements.

The important thing is to check:

  1. Your airline's latest flight status
  2. The airport's official flight information
  3. Any notifications sent to your booking email or app
  4. Ground transport availability before travelling to the airport

Do not head to the airport based only on an old departure time shown on your original booking.

A typhoon can also affect your journey after you land. Airport trains and buses may experience delays or suspensions, so leave extra time if you have an onward reservation.

Tokyo Typhoons Warning System and Safety Alerts

Tokyo Typhoon App Alerts

Japan's weather warning are issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).

When a typhoon is approaching Tokyo,, do not look only for the word "typhoon". Also pay attention to warnings and information about heavy rain, flooding, landslides, strong winds, high waves and storm surge.

Tokyo can experience dangerous conditions even when the typhoon's centre is not directly over the city.

Best Time to Visit Tokyo with Lower Typhoon Exposure

Tokyo Skytree

For travellers who want to reduce their exposure to the main typhoon period, October to May generally falls outside the peak months for typhoon activity in Japan.

For Singaporean travellers, this means choosing travel dates involves balancing weather, school holidays, seasonal events and typhoon exposure, rather than looking for one perfect month.

However, the best travel period depends on what you want to do.

What to Do in Tokyo During a Typhoon

Tokyo Joypolis

A rainy day does not necessarily mean you need to stay inside your hotel for the entire day.

If conditions are safe and there are no instructions to stay indoors, Tokyo has plenty of indoor attractions, shopping centres, museums and entertainment facilities.

However, during the strongest part of a typhoon, staying indoors is usually the safer choice. Avoid unnecessary travel especially around rivers, coastal areas and places exposed to strong winds.

Indoor Attractions for a Rainy Tokyo Day

Always check the attraction's official website before leaving your hotel. Severe weather can still lead to temporary closures or changes in operating hours.

Recommended Area to Stay in Tokyo

Your choice of accommodation can make a difference when bad weather affects transport.

For a typhoon-season trip, consider staying somewhere with easy access to major stations, plenty of indoor dining and shopping and multiple transport options.

Area

Why it can be convenient during typhoon season

Shinjuku

Major transport hub with extensive shopping, dining and indoor facilities

Tokyo Station / Marunouchi

Excellent rail connections and many indoor commercial facilities

Shibuya

Large shopping complexes, restaurants and convenient rail connections

Ueno

Major railway hub with shopping and indoor attractions nearby

Ikebukuro

Large station area with department stores, restaurants and entertainment

Shinagawa

Convenient for major rail connections and access towards Haneda

If an evacuation order or other official instruction is issued, follow local authorities rather than relying on your hotel's location or your original itinerary.

With some flexibility, a typhoon does not have to ruin your Tokyo holiday. The key is to treat August and September as months that require more weather awareness, rather than months when Tokyo should automatically be avoided.

If the weather is deteriorating, staying indoors and postponing sightseeing is often the simplest option.

For Singapore travellers, keeping your itinerary flexible, checking official updates and having travel insurance can make a big difference when a typhoon changes your plans.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, right in the heart of Ginza. With easy access to Higashi-Ginza Station, Shimbashi Station, and more, transportation is incredibly convenient. The surrounding area is packed with numerous mid-to-high-end shopping malls, luxury boutiques, food streets, convenience stores, small shops, and coffee shops. Plus, a Don Quijote is right downstairs! It's also not far from Tokyo Tower and the Imperial Palace, just 2km and 1.7km away respectively. 😀😀 On top of that, the hotel offers fantastic and thoughtful service, including helping foreign guests book taxis. The toiletries are superb, especially the Pola skincare line 👍🏻👍🏻. You can even catch a glimpse of Tokyo Tower from the hotel lobby! The breakfast spread is extensive, and the food is safe and reliable. The cleanliness is also top-notch, and the cleaning staff and hotel service staff are all very polite and respectful. 👍🏻👍🏻 Overall, it was a great experience, and I would likely choose this hotel again on my next trip to Tokyo!!

This hotel is perfectly located right across from Ginza Mitsukoshi. I booked a twin room, and it was a good size; we could easily open two 28-inch suitcases without any issues. The room was very clean, and the amenities were excellent. While I could occasionally hear some street noise at night, it wasn't a major problem, as location and cleanliness are my top priorities. The only drawback was during my 7-day stay when, one morning, the front desk called me. Their English was really poor. I tried to explain that I hadn't requested a wake-up call or room cleaning, and that I wanted to sleep, but she said she didn't understand and then hung up without an apology! Later, I went down to the front desk, and the staff member there was very friendly. She explained that the colleague who called had already left and that it was likely a wrong number, then sincerely apologized. I really urge the hotel to improve staff training on customer service, especially over the phone. Even though it was just a call, I could clearly sense the impatience from the front desk! Thank you.

The InterContinental Tokyo Bay is situated in an excellent, affluent area, a well-established hotel with a rich history that has undergone renovation. It now boasts comprehensive and well-maintained facilities, offering a wide range of services and amenities that cover all the essentials. The overall cleanliness is meticulously upheld, giving it a sophisticated 'old money' vibe without being overly flashy. It provides a stable and comfortable stay. The location is a significant advantage, making it convenient to travel to the Ginza shopping district and offering smooth transportation to Haneda Airport. The room views are outstanding, with the bay scenery being a delight to behold. It's highly recommended for business travelers, especially if your budget allows; the overall experience is top-notch.

The Dome Hotel has many advantages: First, the transportation is very convenient with JR and subway stations nearby. Second, there are commercial areas all around, making dining and shopping extremely easy. Third, the rooms are spacious, located on high floors with great views, making the stay very comfortable. Fourth, the hotel is exceptionally clean; rooms are tidied and linens changed daily, the bathtub is spotless, and there are virtually no blind spots in room cleanliness. Fifth, the service is great. Both check-in and check-out are self-service, which is very convenient and time-saving, and staff are always nearby to offer prompts and assistance if you encounter any issues. The breakfast add-on is quite expensive, so we didn't dine at the hotel.

Odaiba Tokyo|5.01km from downtown
This hotel offers direct access to the Yurikamome Line's Odaiba Station from its second floor, and is within walking distance of the life-sized Gundam statue and Odaiba Marine Park. A complimentary shuttle bus to Disneyland is provided, and Haneda Airport is just a 20-minute drive away, making transportation highly convenient. 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. Overall, this hotel is ideal for guests who prioritize exploring Odaiba, appreciate scenic views and spacious accommodations. High-floor ocean view rooms are highly recommended.

One of the best hotel for this price. Luxury and comfort. There is a metro station entrance in front of the hotel. Just to remind that the actual station is not that close to the hotel. For accessibility, I would say that if you plan to get around Tokyo with JR or metro. This hotel might not be a good choice for you. Since there areno JR lines nearby.

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.

Attending the Tokyo Fisheries Expo, I chose to stay at the Daiwa Roynet Hotel in Ginza, and it was an excellent experience! The hotel is clean, hygienic, and the breakfast is abundant, with delicious grilled mackerel and silver salmon. They even provide Kose Sekkisei and DHC toiletries every night, which is a nice touch! The location is incredibly convenient; you can walk to Tokyo Station and Marunouchi. From Tokyo Station, it's easy to catch a bus to Kisarazu Outlet, which is very convenient – a round trip costs just 3000 JPY and takes only 50 minutes one way. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, including OK Supermarket, BEAMS, MONT-BELL, PATAGONIA, SAPPORO DRAFT BLACK, Mitsukoshi, GINZA NOVO, and GINZA777, covering all your eating, drinking, playing, and shopping needs! **Environment**: The environment is quiet with good soundproofing, ensuring a good night's sleep. **Service**: As expected from Japanese hotels, the service was excellent, with friendly and smiling staff. **Facilities**: All facilities were sufficient, including a microwave, ice maker, vending machines, luggage weighing scale, and coffee machine. **Cleanliness**: Housekeeping was prompt and excellent. Ginza itself is a fantastic area, with countless bars, cafes, Ippudo ramen, and Tonkatsu restaurants to explore. For transportation, you have the Yurakucho Line, Ginza Line, Keikyu Line, and many other options, making it quick and easy to get to Asakusa, Daikanyama, Nakameguro, Shibuya, Harajuku, Omotesando, and even a jazz cafe in Yotsuya. I will definitely stay in Ginza again next time!

The room was actually a twin room, and since there were three of us, an extra bed was added, which made the space feel cramped. We couldn't open three 20-inch suitcases at the same time. The original table was moved to the TV area, making the walkway very narrow. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area. The room was cleaned daily, towels were changed, and even our pajamas were folded neatly. Breakfast was also quite substantial.

The hotel is located in an alley in the city center. While the location isn't bad, it's not ideal either. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to walk to any subway station. If you take the Keikyu Line to Higashi-Ginza, exit A11, and walk straight down the alley, you'll find it. However, it might be a bit tricky to locate for the first time. It's about a ten-minute walk to Mitsukoshi Department Store and Matsuya Ginza, and walking back to the hotel with shopping can be quite tiring. The only real upside is that there's a 7-Eleven right below the hotel, which is very convenient for guests who haven't purchased the hotel breakfast. The bed in the room is perfect for one adult and one child, and since it's against the wall, you don't have to worry about a child falling off.

Although the room is not large, it's well soundproofed. I would definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Tokyo. It's also only a 30-minute drive to Haneda Airport if there's no traffic, which is super convenient.

The room itself was alright, but when I arrived, the bed sheets were covered in hair. I had to ask the staff to change the linens, which was a very unpleasant experience. I was in a rush the rest of the time, but the location is good. There's a washing machine downstairs, which costs 25 RMB for a 2-hour wash and dry cycle. The breakfast was decent, better than the one at the Asakusa Onsen Hotel, with more variety.

Shinagawa Tokyo|5.46km from downtown
The hotel is showing its age. The location is decent—just a short walk out of the hotel and across the street from the massive Shinagawa Station. The occupancy rate of this hotel is very high, and it gets quite crowded. The elevators are separated by floor numbers to improve efficiency. There are self-service check-in kiosks, though for some reason our self-check-in failed this time. An elderly staff member fiddled with the computer for a long time, and it took us a full hour to finally check in, without ever knowing the reason why. The room facilities are dated and a bit worn out, and unlike newer hotels, there is no separate wet and dry area in the bathroom. We booked a twin room; it’s not very large, and we had to move the chair and round table out of the way to barely manage to lay open two large suitcases. You can catch a glimpse of the Tokyo Tower from the window. Also, there are far too few power outlets in the room—just one on the desk, one in the bathroom, and one by the TV cabinet. With two of us needing to charge our phones, power banks, and smartwatches, we had to take turns doing so.

This was my second stay. This time, I was initially given a room facing the train tracks. Even at 11:30 PM, the JR line outside would be noisy every 30 seconds, and it started running before dawn, which meant I didn't sleep well. I then contacted Ctrip customer service, and they helped me switch rooms, which was much better. I also want to mention that the front desk staff during my first visit were excellent, but this time, I felt they were quite cold. I hope management can improve this, as the check-in experience is the first impression of the hotel.

The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, and all the toiletries were L'Occitane. The shower pressure was also great~ The complimentary bottled water in the room came in aluminum bottles.

It's right next to Shiomi Station, making it convenient for trips to Kamakura, Disneyland, Yokohama, and Atami. However, it's a bit far from the city center. I booked this place for a game I was watching, and the price had gone up a bit for those days, so it felt a bit expensive. Otherwise, I was quite satisfied, though I wasn't really used to the Western-style breakfast, haha.

My daughter chose Ikebukuro this time, allowing us to experience another bustling side of Greater Tokyo, though it can't quite compare to Shibuya and Shinjuku. The hotel has a great location—nestled in a quiet spot despite being in a lively area, just a few minutes' walk from both the subway station and commercial streets. With two or three 7-Elevens and FamilyMarts right downstairs, it's extremely convenient. Service standards of this chain hotel are good, though the bellhop was a bit indifferent. The room is considered quite spacious for central Tokyo, kept very clean, and serviced daily. The urban concrete jungle view from the high floor was actually quite nice 😄. Both Disney and Hakone are definitely worth visiting. Tokyo has plenty of delicious food; Ichiran Ramen came out to about 60 RMB, which is ridiculously cheap.

Failing to found one, I asked one of the staffs (shown in photo) politely about the express checkout boxes, he swiftly pushed me away and ask my to queue up at the check out with a very inpatient attitude. His colleague and his manager apologised for him while he was hiding at the back office after I complained. This is not any customer should have been treated, especially with this level of hospitality and pricing. Won’t be return to this hotel again and I strongly suggest the hotel to refine their training for their staffs.

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi/Akihabara/Kinshicho Tokyo|1.84km from downtown
[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. [Areas for Improvement] Toothbrush Set: The provided toothbrush is far too small and takes ages to use. I strongly recommend bringing your own.

This is my second time staying here, and it's a relatively new hotel. We booked a Japanese/Western style room which was spacious, and from the high floor, we could overlook Tokyo Bay. The hotel is right next to the Ariake Garden shopping complex, making dining, entertainment, and shopping very convenient. There's a free shuttle bus to Ginza on the first floor of Ariake Garden. The subway station is a 10-minute walk away. For the limousine bus to Haneda Airport, you need to book in advance on their official website. The only minor drawback is that the air conditioning in the room is noisy in the summer, which might affect sleep quality for those sensitive to sound.

Had a fantastic stay! The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the Rinkai Line, making it incredibly convenient for getting around, especially to Disney. 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 stayed for five nights and went at different times, but on three of those days, we encountered a queue. If you're in a hurry, you might want to factor in some extra time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! ❤️🇯🇵

Service was great, but there's no elevator at the recent entrance/exit, which was quite tiring when heading to the airport. Service was excellent, and the hotel provides water with wooden floors. Cleaning was very poor; the bedsheets were dirty for both days I stayed. The tissues in the room were a bit disgusting, the box was completely moldy, and inside it was full of dirt with no refills.

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi/Akihabara/Kinshicho Tokyo|1.42km from downtown
If you want to stay somewhere with excellent train connectivity, Tokyo Station is a good bet. That said, I’m personally not a huge fan of Tokyo Station, perhaps because I find the layout a little too complex and confusing. The room was quite small for the price, although that may just be the standard for Tokyo. The breakfast spread was also fairly basic. Overall, it’s a pretty standard hotel, but its biggest advantage is its strategic location and direct access to the train network.

Shinjuku/Nakano Tokyo|5.18km from downtown
The room was spacious and the location was super convenient with a supermarket nearby, so we could buy wagyu beef and cook it ourselves. However, it was quite noisy at night with motorcycles and police sirens on the street. One morning, I paid for breakfast at the front desk. On the day I checked out, I was stopped and told I hadn't paid for it. Seriously, I paid before I ate! How else would I have gotten breakfast? Plus, the breakfast selection was extremely limited and tasted terrible.

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.

First off, there's absolutely no issue with Aman's service or its photogenic qualities. However, if I had to choose between the Bvlgari and Aman in the heart of the city, I think the Bvlgari would be much better. In terms of hardware facilities, they definitely need an update. As soon as you enter the room, there's a damp, musty smell of wet wood. We called room service for an air purifier and air freshener, but the smell barely dissipated without constant spraying, only improving on the second day. While the breakfast offers a lot of choices, the taste is just average. Many online reviews rave about the Japanese breakfast, but I didn't find it particularly good, nor do I think Bvlgari's Japanese breakfast is anything special. The Western breakfast is just standard. Many things require you to discover them yourself and then order à la carte. We weren't full after the first round, but they made up for it with extra breakfast later. Although the service was excellent, it was quite a hassle. Afterward, due to the room issue, housekeeping sent up some chocolates and arranged a private car to take us to the Edition Toranomon. This service was truly fantastic, and I'm especially grateful to the young man at the door. It was raining in Tokyo that day, and when we mentioned wanting to find a convenience store for some snacks, he walked with us all the way to the store's entrance.

The room was spacious, and the service was excellent, truly living up to the grandeur of a five-star hotel. It exceeded my expectations. Despite being next to the subway, it wasn't noisy at all, and the Ginza location was perfect. The value for money was incredible. I would definitely choose this hotel again.

A truly excellent and charming boutique hotel. The location is superb, and the building itself is steeped in history, making it a very worthwhile place to stay. The buffet breakfast is served on the fourth floor in a historic space with a beautiful glass ceiling. The food was exquisite and delicious. What particularly impressed me were the two concierge ladies; they went above and beyond to help us find a ride-hailing car, loaded our luggage, and even waved us off as we departed. A truly wonderful and delightful hotel experience.

If you're a Hilton Diamond member, definitely don't book through Trip.com, otherwise, you won't get any upgrade benefits. The main issue is that I've always been able to use them in the US. If I hadn't thought I could get an upgrade, I would have chosen the Imperial instead of coming here. Trip.com should also have a disclaimer in their description. Plus, I stayed for three days, and on the second day, after I came back from shopping, neither my room key nor electronic key worked. Keep in mind that at Conrad, you have to take two elevators to get from the entrance to your room, and they assigned me a room furthest from the elevator. I had to drag a bunch of shopping bags all the way to the front desk to get a new room key. At breakfast in the morning, I ordered à la carte, and they completely forgot my order. Everyone around me had finished eating, and when I asked the server, she had forgotten about it! All in all, the service at the Imperial is still better~

Kudos to Mitsuta-san! Around 8 AM on September 10, 2026, I asked at the first-floor lobby about the best way to get to TCAT station. I wasn't sure if it was easier to go directly from the hotel's second floor to TCAT (for Haneda Airport) or to exit the lobby on the first floor and walk (as I had two suitcases and it was a bit inconvenient). She proactively offered to help me push both suitcases to TCAT station. After Mitsuta-san (a young woman) helped me with my luggage, I had trouble paying with my Suica card. She also assisted me with that, allowing me to successfully buy my ticket and make it to Haneda Airport for my flight.

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.

The hotel's location is very convenient, close to Tokyo Station, and also near Nihonbashi subway station. The front desk is on the second floor, where staff handle check-ins. You can also pick up items like facial masks, foot patches, bath salts, skincare sets, and body lotion there. There's a dining area nearby, but it's not open 24 hours. You can find hot water, coffee, drinks, and some soup, and also make tea. The room isn't large, but the soundproofing is excellent, and the bed is quite comfortable to sleep in. The bathroom isn't big, but it's sufficient. Overall, it was a comfortable and convenient hotel experience.

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.

Right outside the hotel, you'll find a bustling street, and the subway station is a convenient 5-minute walk away. Dormy Inn's biggest selling point is its large public bath, and this particular one even has an outdoor pool! It's impressive how they've managed to fit so much into a compact Tokyo space.

I booked this hotel at the last minute after I missed my bullet train, and it turned out to be a great choice. The room was affordable and noticeably more spacious than typical business hotels like Toyoko Inn. The location was also very convenient, with easy access to and from Haneda Airport, making it a great option for a short stay or an unexpected overnight stop. For the price, it offered great value, and I’d definitely stay here again if I’m in the area.
