The Property — Linden
The Linden is a workmanlike three-star business hotel in central Tokyo, with a clean, no-frills lobby in beige and dark wood that smells faintly of green tea. Rooms are compact but efficient — you get a proper desk, good Wi-Fi, and a bathroom with a powerful shower. It suits solo travellers or couples who plan to be out all day and just need a quiet, central base without the five-star fuss.
Chronicles of Tokyo
Tokyo began as the fishing village of Edo in the 12th century, then exploded into the political and cultural capital of Tokugawa Japan after 1603. The 1923 Great Kantō earthquake and WWII firebombing levelled most of the old wooden city, clearing the way for a concrete-and-glass rebuild that peaked during the 1964 Olympics. Today it’s a vertiginous grid of neon-lit towers, quiet temple side streets, and the world’s densest subway network — a place where a 400-year-old shrine sits under a skyscraper.

Top Attractions in 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.
