For those looking for sample itinerary, can refer to mine, although not really complete yet.

I don't usually follow too strictly, just for me as a guideline when bringing my students to Japan.

Hi hng, had booked my accomodation via airbnb for my Kansai trip in Nov. My friends had ever booked the Osaka guesthouse via airbnb and have a good feedback on the safety and cleanliness.

Hi hng hng, I used airbnb for my trips to San Francisco, Taipei, HK, and also booked it for my upcoming trip to Osaka. If u r interested in airbnb, I can refer you and you can get a discount. PM me I'd interested.

Yes, nearby Shinjuku MRT is the best.

We have 5 adult & 4 kids.
May I know what the difference staying at their apartment via hotel?
Thanks.

Not sure why a lot of people like to stay Shinjuku... Dangerous at night as well.

I am just taking an example from Airbnb.

In your case, hotel might not be a good choice for you.
The main difference would be that if you stay in a Airbnb, it`s just like you are staying at somebody`s house, they might or might not be in the apartment.

If you stay in Ueno (north east area of Tokyo), it might be cheaper for you. It takes about 30 mins to reach Shinjuku.

What is a good area to base in Tokyo that is close to good food and shopping and easy to get around (plus to and from airport)?
