Hotels in Tokyo Station
Tokyo Station is two neighbourhoods joined by a very long concourse, and the side you sleep on matters if you are catching a Shinkansen. All bullet trains leave from platforms 14 to 23 on the Yaesu side: 14 to 19 for the Tokaido and Sanyo lines toward Kyoto and Osaka, 20 to 23 for the lines heading north to Tohoku, Hokkaido, Joetsu and Hokuriku. Coming from the Marunouchi side, allow about ten minutes on foot to reach them. For an early Tokaido departure I would sleep in Yaesu or Kyobashi. The Yaesu Central North and South gates let you walk straight onto the Tokaido Shinkansen; for the northern lines you pass the JR gates first, then a separate Shinkansen transfer gate. The Marunouchi side suits a slower stay: The Tokyo Station Hotel occupies the 1915 red-brick building itself, and the Imperial Palace gardens are on that side. The trap is underestimating the station. Connections deserve 15 to 20 minutes, and the Keiyo and Sobu lines lie in deep basements far from the main concourse, so a hotel listed as next to Tokyo Station can still mean a long walk to your platform.
For a bullet train, the hotels to book near Tokyo Station are on the Yaesu side, where every Shinkansen platform sits; the Marunouchi side, with the red-brick building and The Tokyo Station Hotel inside it, is the better address for the Imperial Palace and the business district. Further hotels on this page spread into Kyobashi, Nihonbashi, Otemachi and Ginza, each a short walk or one stop away.

4.5Guest scoreFamilykaraksa hotel colors Tokyo Yaesu
Connecting rooms for up to six, six minutes on foot from Tokyo Station's Yaesu Central exit
View hotel →Why guests love itThis is the hotel I would point a family to when the trip starts or ends with a shinkansen at Tokyo Station. The walk from the Yaesu Central exit takes about six minutes, the rooms go up to quadruples, and connecting rooms with two bathrooms take six people, which few hotels this close to the station offer. The lounge keeps drinks and sweets for children. The trade-off is space: rooms are compact, and two large suitcases plus a stroller will fill a standard double. Breakfast is a paid buffet, and some rooms have a washing machine, useful on a long rail trip. Guests in our data rate it 9 out of 10 across 388 reviews. Travellers who want a restaurant downstairs or a large room for one should look elsewhere.

What to expect
- Every Shinkansen leaves from platforms 14 to 23 on the Yaesu side: 14 to 19 for the Tokaido and Sanyo lines, 20 to 23 for the northern lines.
- The Yaesu Central North and South gates give direct access to the Tokaido Shinkansen.
- The Tokyo Station Hotel sits inside the station's 1915 red-brick building on the Marunouchi side.
- The Keiyo and Sobu lines run from deep basements, well away from the main concourse.
Local tips
- ✓For the Tokaido Shinkansen toward Kyoto and Osaka, enter by the Yaesu Central North or South gates, which lead straight to platforms 14 to 19 without a second ticket barrier.
- ✓Northern Shinkansen lines (Tohoku, Hokkaido, Joetsu, Hokuriku) need two passes: the ordinary JR gates, then the Shinkansen transfer gate before platforms 20 to 23.
- ✓Staying on the Marunouchi side adds about ten minutes on foot to reach the Shinkansen platforms, so leave your hotel earlier than the map suggests.
- ✓Allow 15 to 20 minutes for any connection inside the station, more if your train is on the Keiyo or Sobu lines, which run deep below ground.
FAQ
Which side of Tokyo Station is best for the Shinkansen?
The Yaesu side. All Shinkansen platforms, 14 to 23, are on that side, and the Yaesu Central North and South gates lead directly to the Tokaido Shinkansen. Hotels in Yaesu and Kyobashi keep the walk to the platform short, which matters for a first train of the day.
Is there a hotel inside Tokyo Station?
Yes. The Tokyo Station Hotel occupies the station's red-brick Marunouchi building, opened in 1915. It is the closest stay of all, but from the Marunouchi side you still need around ten minutes on foot to reach the Shinkansen platforms on the Yaesu side.
How long does it take to change trains at Tokyo Station?
Plan 15 to 20 minutes for a connection. The station is large, northern Shinkansen lines require a separate transfer gate, and the Keiyo and Sobu lines sit in deep basements far from the main concourse, so tight connections are risky with luggage.
Where else can I stay near Tokyo Station?
The hotels on this page also cover Kyobashi, Nihonbashi, Otemachi, Kanda and Ginza. Kyobashi and Nihonbashi sit beside the Yaesu side, Otemachi beside Marunouchi, and Ginza is a short walk south, which suits travellers who want restaurants and shopping as well as an easy run to the trains.
