Where to stay with teenagers (ages 13+)

Teens appreciate independence. Pick a safe, well-connected base and let them explore.

📍 Shinjuku

Central, dense with family hotels, major train interchange, Shinjuku Gyoen park 10 min walk. 7-Elevens on every corner for snacks.

📍 Ueno / Asakusa

Older, calmer, next to Ueno Zoo + museums + Senso-ji. Easier for a slower first-trip-to-Tokyo pace.
