Thankfully there are a good mix of hotels boasting spectacularly good views. Our hotel experts have made a collection of the best hotels in Tokyo with a view. Whether you'd like to finish your day floating in an onsen overlooking the city or you would rather a great value stay, there is something for everyone here.
