Top SHINJUKU Hotels [LUXURY/MID-RANGE] [RESEARCH-BASED] [2026 UPDATE]

Описание: PLEASE READ BELOW BEFORE BOOKING:

2026 UPDATE: This video was originally created in 2024. However, I've re-checked the status of these Shinjuku hotels in early 2026. The recommendations in this video still hold true, but with some changes provided below.

Shinjuku is a major district in Tokyo, serving as a bustling transportation hub with buses and trains connecting you to various parts of the city and beyond. The area is also packed with numerous restaurants, bars, and vibrant nightlife venues, particularly in the Kabukicho area.

Disclaimer: I haven’t stayed at every hotel in this video, but I always do extensive research—reading dozens (sometimes hundreds!) of recent guest reviews, comparing facilities, and checking up-to-date info before making any recommendation. Whenever I have personal experience, I’ll mention it in the video!

ADDITIONAL TIPS

1. As mentioned in the video, as a red-light district, Kabukicho is not ideal for families, I recommend staying in Shibuya, Ginza, or Tokyo Station instead. If you prefer Shinjuku, consider booking a property on the west side of the station for a better experience.

2. Many Japanese hotels have adopted policies to reduce plastic use. As a result, amenities like toothbrushes may not be provided in the room. Instead, you can pick them up at the amenity bar, typically located near the front desk.

3. Not all hotels in Shinjuku offer only non-smoking rooms. It’s important to carefully check room types before booking through Expedia or Agoda, or to inform the hotel of your preference in advance. Otherwise, you might end up in a smoking room.

4. For smokers, use only designated smoking areas and avoid smoking in non-smoking rooms. Violating this policy can result in a substantial fee.
