I’m a bit overwhelmed with options of what area to stay in Tokyo for my first visit. I have heard good things of Asakusa, but I’m realizing out of my 6 days in Tokyo, only 2 of them will be on the East side, so I’m not sure if it makes sense to stay there. A quick summary of my itinerary is below. Based on it, where would you recommend I stay as a home base (general area or specific hotel?). Maybe the simplest option is Shinjuku and I should just do that? I will be spending at least 2 nights experiencing the Shinjuku nightlife after all…

Day 1: Harajuku / Shibuya / Shinjuku

Day 2: Meiji Shrine / Shinjuku Gyoen / more Shinjuku

Day 3: Asakusa / Ueno Park / Yanaka

Day 4: Akihabara / Ginza

Day 5: Free day (likely near central Tokyo… I want to do the Gen Yamamoto cocktail experience)

Day 6: Nakameguro / Daikanyamacho / Ebisu / Shimokitazawa
