La proprietà — HOTEL METS
Hotel Mets is a functional, no-nonsense business hotel perched directly above Shinjuku Station. Its lobby is compact and efficient, with vending machines, a small convenience shop, and a constant flow of salarymen and tourists. The USP is location: you are literally steps from the busiest railway hub in Tokyo, making it ideal for travellers who prioritise connectivity over charm. It suits solo visitors or couples on a tight schedule who want a clean, small room and immediate access to trains.
Cronache di Tokyo
Tokyo began as the fishing village of Edo, but in 1603 the Tokugawa shogunate made it Japan's political centre. After the 1868 Meiji Restoration, it was renamed Tokyo ('Eastern Capital') and rapidly Westernised, blending wooden machiya houses with brick-and-stone buildings. The 1923 Great Kantō Earthquake and WWII firebombing levelled most of the old city, clearing the way for a patchwork of modernist high-rises and narrow, unplanned lanes. Today, Tokyo is a hyper-efficient metropolis of 14 million people, known for its punctual trains, neon-drenched districts like Shinjuku, and low-rise residential neighbourhoods that feel like separate towns.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Tokyo →I migliori mesi
November, late March, and early May: mild temperatures (15–20°C), low humidity, and fewer tourists after the cherry-blossom rush.
Peak / Festival Surge
Late March to early April (cherry blossom season) and late April to early May (Golden Week). Hotel prices can double, rooms book out months in advance, and Shinjuku Station becomes crush-load busy. The cherry-blossom festivals and public holidays drive the surge.
Stagione di spalla
June and September: cheaper rates, more room availability, and still decent weather (though June kicks off the rainy season). Crowds thin out between the spring peak and summer holidays.
Meteo e imballaggio
July in Tokyo is scorching and humid, often above 30°C with sudden downpours. Pack a lightweight, breathable top layer that can double as rain protection, and carry a small umbrella every day.
Briefing della città — Tokyo
- Shinjuku Station's southern entrance redevelopment is ongoing, with new direct exits to the new South Tower complex opening summer 2026, cutting walk time to Hotel Mets by about three minutes.
- The Tokyo 2025 World Athletics Championships scheduled for September have driven up hotel prices citywide through late summer; expect limited room availability even in July.
- The famous Tsukiji Outer Market has introduced a weekday-only reservation system for the busiest stalls, so plan any early-morning food visits accordingly.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to HOTEL METS, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 5 to 8 facing away from the main street. These mid-level rooms are high enough to avoid ground-level noise but still within the lift range, and the rear-facing ones overlook quieter side streets or courtyards.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1 to 3, especially those facing the street, as they pick up traffic and pedestrian noise from the busy Tokyo road. Also skip rooms directly adjacent to the lift shaft on any floor, as the mechanism hum can be noticeable at night.
Best views
Ask for a rear-facing room on floor 7 or 8 for a partial skyline view over low-rise buildings, rather than looking directly at the street or adjacent structures.
Quietest floors
Floors 5 to 8 — far enough from street and lobby activity, and less foot traffic than lower floors.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel sits on a main Tokyo street, so traffic noise is constant during peak hours. Lift noise is a known issue on floors near the shaft ends. Early morning delivery trucks may affect street-facing rooms on lower floors.
Insider tips
1. Request a room on the 'south wing' (if available) for less street noise, as that side typically faces a quieter alley. 2. The hotel has a small lobby; check-in can be slow around 3pm, so arrive a bit earlier or later to avoid queues.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Principali attrazioni a Tokyo
💡 Go on a Sunday when the palace grounds are open for a guided tour (free, first come first served, starts 10:00 and 13:30). Otherwise the gardens are quiet on weekday mornings.
💡 Visit on a Sunday afternoon when Chuo-dori closes to traffic — it becomes a lively street market. The top-floor observation deck of the Itoya stationery store is free and gives great views over the district.
💡 Bring a picnic and sit by Shinobazu Pond. The lotus flowers in July-August are stunning. Free entry to the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum on the first Monday of the month.
💡 Skip the main gate queues. Enter through the side streets off Nakamise-dori for a more local feel. The temple is at its calmest just after sunrise.
💡 Go just before sunset on a weekday. Fewer crowds and the torii gates look fantastic as the light fades. Watch for wedding processions on weekend mornings.
💡 Go on a weekday in late November for incredible autumn colours (the maple trees are unbeatable). The greenhouse is free and often overlooked.
