Which Areas are the Best to Stay at?
Which areas are most conveniently located for the 2021 Olympic Games? This, of course, depends on which sports you want to visit. Take a look at our competition location map on which all locations of the Olympic competitions can be seen. As you can see, most games take place in Shibuya, Chuo, Shinjuku, Chiyoda, and around Odaiba.
Of course, there are also some competitions being held outside the city. What we can recommend are the neighborhoods Minato (very cool area!), Chuo (nice neighborhood and mega central), Ginza (fancy area), Roppongi (party area) or of course Shibuya (party area) and Ueno (the old area of Tokyo). These areas are the perfect base for most Olympic sports and also offer the opportunity to do sightseeing thanks to their central location.
