Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

As the wedding and after-party are located on the East and West sides of Tokyo, we recommend two choices. If you'd like to make it easier to arrive to the wedding location, we would suggest staying in Shibuya, Harajuku, or Yoyogi. (but you'd probably have to taxi home after the after-party) Alternatively, to make it easier to get home after the after-party, we would suggest staying in Akihabara, Ueno, Kanda, Ginza, or Nihombashi.
