My girlfriend and I are planning a two week trip to Japan for the first time. Our itinerary in Tokyo will be based on all of the many recommendations I have seen here and elsewhere. Given that we will be trying to see Tokyo's "greatest hits" what area should we look for hotels in? What are the tradeoffs of the different areas?
Also, what should we look for in a hotel? We are both experienced international travelers and will learn a little Japanese to help us get around but it might be nice to have a hotel that makes it easy for foreigners to navigate and get help.
Our budget is flexible, we are both in our 40s and make decent money so we want some comfort but don't want to waste money either. Let's say $100 a night (around 16k yen) or a bit more if it's worth it.
I appreciate any recommendations for areas or to stay in, things to look for in a hotel, or even specific hotel recommendations. Thank you!
