Traveling to Tokyo with a pet requires careful planning, but the city offers a solid range of hotels that welcome dogs and cats. Budget varies widely-from 3-star options like ICI Hotel Asakusabashi (around ¥12,000 per night) to 5-star luxury at Mandarin Oriental Tokyo (upwards of ¥60,000). Key districts with pet-friendly hotels include Aoyama, Nihonbashi, Ginza, Marunouchi, and Shinjuku. Most properties provide basic amenities like free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and elevators, but pet policies differ: some impose weight limits, extra cleaning fees, or restrictions on leaving pets unattended. Always confirm the specific pet rules before booking.
