Last Updated on November 26, 2025 by Audrey
If you’re searching for the best honeymoon hotels Tokyo is known for, you’re in the right place.
Considering Tokyo for your dream honeymoon? Well, you’re making the right choice!
As a recently engaged gal myself, I found myself wondering what the best hotels in Tokyo for newlyweds were. I've been to Tokyo 4 times, but I still love it and think it's a fantastic honeymoon destination, albeit not your typical one.
In my humble opinion, I’ve never been the type of person to sit at a beach for 5 days and just lay. If that’s what you want, Tokyo isn’t it. But if you’re ready to gaze up at skyscrapers while strolling through neon streets, open up lucky fortunes together at peaceful shrines, and relax in traditional Japanese ryokans with private onsen baths and lush green gardens, then you're in the right place.
In this post I’ll fill you in on the BEST honeymoon hotels Tokyo has to offer, separated by aesthetic: modern city hotels, aesthetic boutique hotels, and traditional ryokan that are effortlessly romantic. Now, ready to plan the most epic vacation of your lives?
Short on time?
My FAVORITE hotel in Tokyo for couples is Cerulean Tower for its amazing views and numerous amenities, and my favorite traditional ryokan is Cyashitsu Ryokan for the private onsen and intimate atmosphere.
Best Areas in Tokyo for Honeymooners
Now, I think you’ll find romance everywhere in the city, but which neighborhood you stay in will definitely change the mood. Each neighborhood carries its own unique energy that sets the stage for your romantic getaway.
Here’s what you can expect from the most popular areas of where to stay in Tokyo:
- Shinjuku – The busiest area of Tokyo, with bustling people and a bright energy. Between the glowing city views, the quiet corner of Shinjuku Gyoen garden, and late night drinks at the New York Bar, you’ll find urban romance and stunning skyline bars. The Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo emanates that ambiance, with panoramic views and luxurious interiors.
- Shibuya – Fun, trendy, and lively, Shibuya is perfect for young couples who love shopping and nightlife. Spend your day shopping in Harajuku, taking photos at the cutest cafes, and watching the sun set over Shibuya Sky! My favorite hotel in Shibuya is Cerulean Tower!
- Ginza – Ginza is quiet luxury at its finest, perfect for couples who love high end shopping. Spend your mornings exploring the flagship Louis Vuitton, wander all the floors of Uniqlo, and stop by Tsukiji Market for the best sushi. In the evening, dress up and enjoy one of Ginza’s many high-end restaurants for the perfect romantic night out! My favorite hotel in Ginza is MUJI Hotel.
- Asakusa – For couples who want to experience staying in a traditional ryokan, Asakusa is the best spot. It’s where old town Tokyo meets slow, nostalgic romance. Enjoy your nights walking hand in hand through the quiet, lantern-lit streets around Sensoji Temple in matching yukata. My favorite place to stay is Cyashitsu Ryokan.
- Tokyo Station/Marunouchi – Close to the Imperial Palace and perfect for couples who want to explore the country, Tokyo Station is one of the most convenient places to stay, especially if you plan on taking a day trip to Hakone or Mount Fuji. I loved Hotel Metropolitan Marunouchi near Tokyo Station!
The 11 Most Romantic Honeymoon Hotels in Tokyo
Modern City Romance
1. Cerulean Tower ($$$$)
- ⭐ Rating: 9.0/10 (2,100 reviews)
Starting off with the best of the best: Cerulean Tower. This luxurious five-star hotel is everything you’ll ever dream of, shining like a star in the heart of Shibuya.
Just a three-minute walk from Shibuya Station, the hotel rises high above the city, with rooms that start on the 19th floor. Meaning that every single room has those jaw-dropping skyline views Tokyo is famous for. You can watch the city glitter beneath you right from your bed, or soak it all in from the deep bathtub by the window.
The rooms have a refined Japanese–Western balance I love: spacious, minimalist, and softly elegantly painted in natural tones.
Of course, you can expect grand amenities to accompany your top tier stay. Try out their fitness center, pool, sauna, and several dining options, plus an incredible lounge with stellar city views to enjoy a drink together. Public bars with views are painfully overcrowded, so having a private lounge to enjoy is a huge plus.
Overall, Cerulean Tower is one of the most romantic hotels in Tokyo. If you want a stay that you and your partner will still be reminiscing about when you’re old and gray, then don’t miss this hotel.
2. Hotel Metropolitan Tokyo Marunouchi ($$$)
- ⭐ Rating: 8.7/10 (4,500 reviews)
Hotel Metropolitan Tokyo Marunouchi has been deemed a “hotel in the sky,” and it truly feels like a dreamy hideaway.
Directly connected to Tokyo Station, the hotel sits high above the city with spacious, modern rooms with sweeping views of Tokyo’s skyline and trains gliding in and out below. The scenery is so stunning that you could honestly skip the busy observation decks like Tokyo Skytree or Shibuya Sky.

Lastly, the hotel has everything you need for a comfortable stay: an on-site Japanese-French restaurant with beautiful views, a fitness room, laundry services, and soothing massage options to unwind after a full day of exploring together.
3. The Gate Hotel Kaminarimon ($$$)

The Gate Hotel Kaminarimon in Asakusa is a modern oasis floating above the nostalgic streets of Old Tokyo. As soon as the elevator opens into the top-floor lobby, you’re greeted by sweeping views of Tokyo Skytree front and center.
For couples, the Gate Suite* is the top choice, a spacious room with a huge soaking tub beside floor-to-ceiling windows, perfect for unwinding together while watching the city glow. The navy accents and mid-century touches give the room a classy, sophisticated feel.
Guests are obsessed with the breakfast buffet, featuring buttery quiche, perfectly cooked eggs Benedict, and bagels with Échiré butter. Enjoy your decadent meal on the outdoor terrace overlooking Asakusa’s skyline. And at night, the rooftop bar becomes the perfect spot for a quiet drink overlooking a private view of Skytree.
With its indulgent food, unbeatable views, and location just minutes from Sensoji Temple, The Gate Hotel Kaminarimon is easily one of the dreamiest modern-meets-traditional stays for couples in Tokyo.
4. Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo ($$$)
- ⭐ Rating: 8.7/10 (26,200 reviews)
Keio Plaza in Shinjuku encapsulates the essence of a city romance perfectly. Think sweeping nightscape views, modern moody interiors, and numerous elegant restaurant and lounge options perfect for setting the mood.
The cuisine options are seriously extravagant. You can choose between various types of Japanese cuisine like teppanyaki, kaiseki, soba, or can opt for chinese or their super buffet. And in the evening, sip on your favorite cocktail in one of their 5 lounges. My favorite is the sky lounge on the 45th floor that has a stunning view of Tokyo’s dynamic skyline. One look and you can tell this is the spot for the ultimate ambiance.
Additionally, Keio Plaza offers massages, a fitness room, a pool with city views, among many other countless amenities.

- ⭐ Rating: 8.8/10 (2,000 reviews)
Shibuya Stream is another utterly romantic hotel that wins in both convenience and vibes.
Situated literally above Shibuya Station, this beautiful 4-star hotel is perfect for first-time visitors as the Scramble Crossing is pretty much at your doorstep, along with tons of shops and restaurants.

The hotel itself offers modern luxury at a great value, featuring spacious rooms with views of Shibuya and Tokyo Tower. You’ll get nice amenities like free happy hour drinks, mini-fridges, baths with complimentary bathing salts, and tons of complimentary stuff at the front desk.
On-site amenities include a restaurant and lounge with live music, laundry, a shared kitchen, private parking, and a small gym.
The only caveat to keep in mind is that Shibuya Scramble Crossing is crowded for most of the day, so if you’re looking for a peaceful and quiet location this probably isn’t your ideal pick.
Boutique & Aesthetic Stays
6. Hotel K5 ($$$$)
- ⭐ Rating: 9.2/10 (1,200 reviews)
Hotel K5 is one of the most beautiful and creatively designed stays in Tokyo, and has even been recognized by the Michelin Guide. Housed in a renovated 1920s bank in Nihonbashi, it blends vintage charm with modern sophistication in a way that feels effortless and intimate.
The interiors are moody, warm, and full of character, featuring soaring ceilings, lush green plants, soft lighting, and custom furniture that make the whole space feel more like an art installation rather than a hotel. Each of the 20 rooms is intentionally curated, with standalone bathtubs, plush recliners, ambient lighting, and even vinyl record players to set the mood. There’s no TV, but I don’t think you’ll be missing it.
On-site, you’ll find a coffee bar, library bar, an izakaya, and even an international brewery, perfect for slow mornings and fun date nights. And with Nihonbashi Station just five minutes away and Tokyo Station close by, the location is incredibly convenient.
Overall, if you’re an artsy couple attracted to curated spaces and thoughtful design, Hotel K5 gives you one of the most immersive and romantic boutique stays in Tokyo.

Built along a former elevated railway line, the space emanates a quirky personality through playful interiors, graphic art, and a laid-back vibe that feels a bit like an international hostel, only much more luxurious. This hotel would suit extroverted couples who are excited to meet other travelers.

You can rent anything and everything here, from hair irons and chargers to board games, Polaroid cameras, and even a Nintendo Switch! While there are a wide variety of room options, you’ll probably want the private double room as a couple.
Just a seven-minute walk from Shibuya Station and close to museums and local shrines, Hotel Graphy provides affordability, convenience, and a fun, creative atmosphere.
8. Muji Hotel Ginza ($$$)
- ⭐ Rating: 9.1/10 (3,300 reviews)
I’ve always wanted to stay at Muji Hotel, and I think it’s an ideal spot for couples who love minimalism and aesthetic rooms.
Everything is calming, warm, and beautifully understated, and the hotel has a neutral, inviting look all throughout the space. The rooms are totally soundproof and have automatic blinds, a huge shower, and tons of MUJI amenities, so even if you weren’t a MUJI fan before, I can guarantee that you’re going to be converted.

Cyashitsu Ryokan blends traditional Japanese teahouse aesthetics with modern luxury so seamlessly that the moment you step inside, everything feels calm, elegant, and intentional.
Stone paths lead you past a moss garden in the lobby, and your room features woven cedar ceilings inspired by tea huts, and delicate flower arrangements placed throughout to mirror the elegance of a Japanese tea ceremony.

With a soothing atmosphere and beautifully designed rooms, this accommodation is the best place to stay in Tokyo for couples who want quiet moments together without straying far from the city.
The only private bath option is the Deluxe Twin Room, which has a wooden tub on a secluded terrace surrounded by a small stone garden. It isn’t a natural hot spring, but the privacy and quiet make it feel incredibly calming.
The ryokan’s public baths use natural hot spring water sourced from Hakone, known for its skin-soothing benefits, and feature both indoor and open-air baths, along with saunas and ice baths for men and women.
Their on-site restaurant, Tsukikage, serves seasonal Japanese course meals using ingredients from across the country, paired with a curated sake selection chosen by their sake master.
11. Prostyle Ryokan Tokyo Asakusa ($$$$)
- ⭐ Rating: 8.9/10 (2,800 reviews)
If you want an ideal mix of traditional and modern, then you might want to look into Prostyle Ryokan. The ryokan is set right in the heart of Asakusa and embraces the nostalgic “Shitamachi” spirit of old town Tokyo, providing a cool modern stay surrounded by a charming local atmosphere.
The guest rooms have tatami floors and low beds for an authentic feel, and a bunch of the rooms have ceramic private baths in moody teal tones.
The best suite in the whole place is the top-floor corner suite, which has a private open-air bath and a full, unobstructed view of Tokyo Skytree and Sumida River. Or you could book their “Hanare” suite, which comes with its own private in-room sauna. Most of their suites, twins, and king rooms also have either open-air or half open-air ceramic baths, so you have quite a few room options.

Honeymoon Tips for Booking Hotels in Tokyo
Best months for couples is March and November
I personally think that visiting in March when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom is undeniably the most romantic time to visit Tokyo and Japan for couples. However, the fall foliage in November is also pretty stunning too.
Look for Western Double Beds
You’ll either be sleeping in futons or Western-style beds in Japan. If you sleep in futons, you’ll be able to lay them next to each other.
But if your hotel room has western beds, make sure the bed is at least a double, because twin beds in Japan are tiny, and you cannot sleep in them together! If the beds are queen or king size, then it’s even better.
Choose a place with a private onsen
Having an in-room onsen, or any sort of private onsen, is incredibly romantic, so you definitely want to book a room that either offers a private bath connected to your room or offers a private rental onsen. It’s one of the most romantic things you can ever do as a couple!
Stay near a train station for easy access
As long as you’re staying within walking distance of a train station, you should be pretty good. Most, if not all, of the hotels I’ve listed are conveniently located. The best train line to stay near is the JR Yamanote Line because it connects to all of Tokyo’s main neighborhoods.
Book your hotel 3–6 months ahead
This one is a big tip. You do not want to procrastinate on booking your hotel. Tokyo is one of the most popular tourist destinations, and the good hotels get booked up very fast. Ideally, you want to book around 3 to 4 months in advance to get a great hotel at a good price.
