For the last few days of my five-week trip to Japan, I chose the Aloft Tokyo Ginza<\/a> hotel. Thanks to its proximity to the JR Tokyo<\/strong> central station, I could easily reach Narita airport in less than an hour for my return flight. It was also an opportunity to do my last-minute shopping in Ginza to fill my suitcase with souvenirs from Japan!<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”338179″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Aloft Tokyo Ginza – Booking” el_id=”aloft_tokyo_ginza_-_booking”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

The Aloft Tokyo Ginza<\/a> hotel is one of the Marriott Bonvoy<\/a> group’s most affordable hotels in Tokyo<\/a>. Prices range from 40,000<\/span> points or between 30,000<\/span> and 50,000 JPY<\/span> in cash.<\/p>\n

In order to book my two-night stay, I used a free night certificate<\/a> obtained with my ®<\/sup> American Express®<\/sup>* Card\" href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/go\/amex-marriott-bonvoy-card\/\" rel=\"noindex\">Marriott BonvoyMD<\/sup> American ExpressMD<\/sup>* Card<\/a> for one night and paid the regular rate for the other.<\/p>\n

The free night in question was worth 32,000<\/span> Marriott Bonvoy<\/a> points, which seems like an excellent price since I can’t find any availability in 2024 for less than 40,000<\/span> points.<\/p>\n

The annual one-night free certificate allows you to book a room of up to 35,000<\/span> points, but you can combine up to 15,000<\/span> points<\/a> to pay for a higher-value night.<\/p>\n

The hotel is located in Tokyo’<\/strong>s elegant Ginza <\/strong> area (which literally means “seat of money”). This shopping district is renowned for its high concentration of department stores, luxury boutiques, restaurants and world-famous caf\u00e9s. It is considered one of the most expensive and luxurious districts in the world. Think Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es de Paris, Japanese version.<\/p>\n

Another Marriott Bonvoy hotel, the AC Hotel Tokyo Ginza<\/a>, is located in the building next door.<\/p>\n

The nearest station is Higashi-ginza<\/strong>, with a subway entrance 150 meters from the hotel doors. Yurakucho is the nearest JR station, 850 meters away.<\/p>\n

To reach JR Tokyo<\/strong> Central Station (Tokyo Station), allow around 20 minutes’ walk or a few minutes by cab if you have a lot of luggage (around JPY 1,300<\/span>).<\/p>\n

Tokyo-Haneda<\/strong> airport is less than 40 minutes by train from Higashi-ginza (550 JPY<\/span>) or 15 minutes by cab (8,500 JPY).<\/p>\n

For Tokyo-Narita<\/strong> airport, which is much further away, allow at least 1 hour 15 minutes from Higashi-ginza by subway (JPY 1,410<\/span>) or 50 minutes by Narita Express<\/strong> train from JR Tokyo<\/strong> station (JPY 3,070<\/span>). I don’t recommend taking a cab, as you’ll be at the mercy of Tokyo’s dense traffic and the fare will be exorbitant (over 30,000 JPY<\/span>).<\/p>\n
