Where to Stay

Stay in Tokyo if you want the smoothest logistics and the most complete festival experience. The best options are usually hotels near major parks or train lines, with enough nearby food, late return options, and walkable access where possible. If central prices rise, look at neighborhoods just outside the core with strong public transit back into Tokyo. That usually gives a better balance of cost, sleep, and access than staying too far out.
