When we arrive in Tokyo my sisters and I are staying in the Ginza area, on our way back home we need one more night in Tokyo, should we try a new area for a new flavour, if so what area.and a hotel suggestion if you may. THanks

I would move to a hotel that is close to the airport. What time is your flight?

Depending on your flight time, you may want to stay near the airport as offlady suggests. If it's before noon, I'd do that. I wouldn't worry much about getting into a new area for a new flavour as it will just be a night in a hotel, especially if you get to Tokyo from Nagoya after sumo. Not much time at all to get the feel for a place.

Not sure I completely agree with staying near the airport. Tokyo's districts each have their own flavor, and even walking around a bit, finding a place for dinner, and staying overnight can give you a hint as to whether you'd want to explore that neighborhood a bit more on your next trip.

Why not stay at one of the hotels in Shinagawa or Shinjuku? Both areas have a character that's very different from Ginza. And, you can take the Narita Express directly from Shinagawa or Shinjuku station, making the trip to the airport hassle-free.

thanks for your replies, we do not have to fly home until 5PM can you recommend a hotel. saw the Park Hotel, not Hyatt on Trip Advisory not sure what area it is in.

You are about 2 hours from Narita by limo bus or if you decide to take the train be sure to allow time to connect to the Narita Express or Keisei Skyline in the appropriate stations. Plan to leave your hotel not later than 1:00 pm to get to the airport on time. It is not unusual for flights to the US/Canada to depart early and the changes are usually posted only a few hours beforehand so it can be a surprise when you get to the airport to find you don't have as much time as you anticipated...I've learned to build in time for just that reason after so long here.

Park Hotel is in Shiodome, which is a new development of offices, hotels and some shops and restaurants. We have stayed at the Conrad there, and the location is fine...we had a great view from our room over Tokyo Bay, the Rainbow Bridge and Hamarikyu. Be careful with what room type you reserve at the Park Hotel, as many are quite small. As a rule, we tend not to go smaller than 30m2 for a room, as smaller than that tends to feel cramped for more than one person.

You might want to look at the Ritz Carlton in Midtown, the Intercontinental on Tokyo Bay (nice views from river and bay view rooms), the Marunouchi Hotel next to Tokyo Station, the Four Seasons Marunouchi (great service will escort you to the Narita Express and help with baggage), Keio Plaza in Shinjuku (again, be careful with rooms here, the better ones are Plaza Premier)...

Really, you are spoiled for choice, so maybe take a look at a guidebook, get a feel for what the areas are like, and go from there. I just got a Rough Guide to Tokyo that outlines the areas really nicely and recommends some hotels for every budget...the information on the various areas is very good though.
