Where to Stay for Tokyo Summer Olympics ?
This year, the event was to be held in Tokyo, Japan but has been postponed due to the recent outbreak of the Covid19 disease. Nevertheless, the competitions will still take place next year as of July 2021.
Among the best neighbourhoods include Shinjuku Ward. This ward is the location of the Tokyo Olympic Stadium. This area has three stations including Sendagaya, Shinanomachi and Gaiemmae stations. It will be easy for you to commute by train from one of these stations. You can also stay in Shibuya Ward and Roppongi. These areas are all within the Heritage Zone, where the main opening ceremony will be held. It is also in the same zone that track and field events will take place. This area has amazing sceneries and other beautiful locations that could serve you well if you enjoy sight-seeing.
The Tokyo Bay Zone will host aquatic events. If you want to watch these events, then you can choose between Tatsumi (Koto), Odaiba, Nihonbashi, and Ginza Ward. The latter two are ideal for sight-seeing and lie in between the Heritage and the Tokyo Bay Zone. They also have good transport facilities, like electric trains. Odaiba and Tatsumi are close enough to the aquatic stadiums. You can walk from your hotel to the stadiums, though there is a limited number of hotels here. However, the two are not ideal for sight-seeing, so you will have to commute to Ginza or Nihombashi for that purpose.
You can also choose a neighbourhood that sits between the Heritage and the Tokyo Bay Zone. A good place is the Tokyo Station Area. You can access the track and field events stadiums as well as the aquatic stadiums if you are interested in both. The location also has a range of restaurants, hotels and entertainment spots and is very convenient if you want to commute to any other part of the city. You can stay anywhere in the Chiyoda district around Yurakucho, Ohtemachi, the Imperial Palace Area, Marunouchi, and Nihonbashi. You can also stay at Ginza due to its proximity to the two zones and its variety of hotels, shops, and restaurants. It also has a good transport network, so commuting to any other area from Ginza will be very easy.
If you love green sceneries, check out Shimbashi, Hamamatsucho, and Shiodome neighbourhoods. These are adjoining districts that are close enough to both the Heritage and the Tokyo Bay Zones. While in any of these areas, you will be in a position to access any of the stadiums used for these events depending on what you want to watch.
