Tokyo is usually a high-budget vacation, with most of the money going to food, transport, and shopping. As a lover of new experiences, I would love to visit the country and try the range of experiences it has to offer. But if you have more money to spend, why not experience the luxurious, high-end life of the capital of Japan? You can stay in one of the richest areas in Roppongi and try out the extravagant lifestyle of the locals around those parts, or book a spacious house in the quaint residential neighbourhoods while still having convenient access to the shopping, eating, and nightlife districts of the city. With the ever-confusing subway/JR train lines, the best sports bar, and neighbourhoods that are well-connected to the stations and popular hotspots, you wouldn’t have to worry about the location of these houses. For the most ideal trip, continue reading to learn about the top luxury Airbnb vacation rentals in Tokyo, Japan.
Travel advisory:
Before you start planning your trip to Japan, make sure you check out the travel requirements. For example, all foreign visitors must have a valid passport throughout their stay. In addition, travellers from certain countries—such as China, Russia, the Philippines, and Vietnam—must apply for a short-term stay visa.
Once you’ve gotten your visa, start making travel arrangements. Tokyo has two airports that you can fly into: Haneda Airport and Narita International Airport.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to luxury services and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on October 30, 2025.
More information about booking an Airbnb in Tokyo, Japan
In January 2024, TravelDailyNews Asia-Pacific reported that Japan topped the list of Airbnb’s trending destinations for the year. Similarly, Nikkei Asia disclosed that the number of Airbnb bookings in the country has steadily increased compared to pre-pandemic times. As such, travellers to the country, particularly Tokyo, should book their accommodations well in advance.
If you’re visiting the capital city, be strategic about where you choose to stay, as some residential areas in Tokyo ban vacation rentals.
