💰 How Far Does Your Money Go?
A pint in a Shibuya bar runs about ¥600, roughly £3, half what you'd pay in a London pub. A full ramen bowl with a side and a drink comes to around ¥1,800, about £9, less than a meal deal and a coffee back home. A day covering a temple, lunch and a few train rides stays under £25.
☀️ The Weather
Tokyo runs cold and dry through this window. December sits around 13°C by day, dropping to 4°C after dark. January is the coldest month, highs near 9°C and lows around 3°C, with the odd flurry of snow. February holds steady around 10°C. By March it climbs back to 14°C, coat weather easing off as the first cherry blossoms start to bud.
🏨 Where to Stay
Asakusa, Shinjuku or somewhere in between, Tokyo covers every budget.
Dormy Inn Akihabara: 8.3/10 · From £45/night A no-frills business hotel with a rooftop hot spring bath, built for travellers who want comfort without the Shinjuku price tag.
Hotel Ryumeikan Tokyo: 8.7/10 · From £115/night Traditional ryokan-style rooms two minutes from Tokyo Station, quiet and central at once.
Park Hyatt Tokyo: 8.8/10 · From £550/night The Lost in Translation hotel, skyline views over Shinjuku and one of the best bars in the city on the 52nd floor.
🎯 What to Do
Ancient temples, neon streets and a rhythm all its own.
Senso-ji Temple: Tokyo's oldest temple, the red Kaminarimon gate and the Nakamise-dori stalls leading up to it. Shibuya Sky: An open-air rooftop deck above Shibuya, best booked for sunset. Golden Gai: A tangle of Shinjuku alleyways packed with dozens of tiny bars, most seating six people at most. Shibuya Scramble Crossing: Thousands crossing from every direction at once, a Tokyo moment you cannot get anywhere else.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Tokyo is a starting point, not the whole trip.
Kamakura: An hour by train, the open-air Great Buddha and a string of temples close to the coast. Hakone: Just over an hour away, hot spring resorts and views of Mount Fuji on a clear day. Kawagoe: Thirty minutes out, a preserved merchant district of warehouse-style buildings and a famous candy alley.
Non-stop to Tokyo from under £800, with three months of dates to pick from. Deals like this on Japan do not sit around for long.
