Tokyo Staycation: The Best Summer 2020 Campaigns

A “Staycation” is commonly known as a period in which an individual or family stays in their hometown and participates in leisure activities within close distance. This could involve dining out and staying a few nights in a luxurious local hotel.

As borders continue to be shut for the majority of the world due to the coronavirus, staycations are predicted to rise in popularity in the coming months. In response to this, a number of Tokyo’s best and most luxurious hotels have set up exciting staycation deals that offer a number of services, alongside their gorgeous rooms and dining plans, with safe and clean infection prevention set in place.

Staycations usually involve visiting local tourist sites or engaging in fun activities such as rock climbing, paintball, hiking or visiting museums. The best part about a Tokyo Staycation is the fact that it’s in Tokyo! Tokyo is a city continuously listed as one of the top travel destinations in the world. For those of us who live here, a majority have probably been to the top sightseeing locations, but many have unlikely stayed in one of the must-visit hotels that are often an overlooked locale.

Here are some great Staycation deals on offer from Tokyo’s best hotels:
