Use the photos to compare properties, then check the exact room, bed layout and facilities included in your plan.
Before booking: Shinagawa Prince’s Main and Annex towers are scheduled for renovation from November 1, 2026 to April 1, 2029, with possible daytime noise and room changes. Read the renovation notice, especially if you need daytime rest. The Strings also changes its name to InterContinental Tokyo Shinagawa on December 1, 2026.
Shinagawa is a practical Tokyo base when your trip includes Haneda Airport, the Tokaido Shinkansen or onward travel toward Yokohama. For a short stay with luggage, start beside Shinagawa Station itself: the Takanawa side has the largest cluster of hotels, while the Konan side suits travelers who want a high-rise stay close to the station walkway.
The name Shinagawa also appears on hotels well away from Shinagawa Station. Gotanda, Oimachi, Tennozu Isle and Shinagawa Seaside can be good choices, but they solve different transport problems. This guide keeps all fifteen options separate by neighborhood, so a lower rate does not accidentally turn into an inconvenient airport morning.
Shinagawa Station or the wider district?
| Area | Best fit | Practical advantage | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shinagawa: Takanawa side | First or last night, families, Shinkansen | Several hotel styles near the same major station | Some properties are uphill; towers have different entrances |
| Shinagawa: Konan side | Business trips and a high-rise hotel stay | Station walkways and the office district | Less of a leisure-neighborhood atmosphere |
| Sengakuji / Takanawa Gateway | Longer stays and Haneda rail access | Keikyu/Asakusa Line connections and JR options | Not the same as sleeping opposite Shinagawa Station |
| Gotanda | Evening dining and a Yamanote Line base | JR plus subway services; bath and design-led hotels | A train ride before the Shinkansen |
| Oimachi | Everyday shopping and an alternative station base | JR, Rinkai and Tokyu services | Check the route for each day rather than assuming Shinagawa access |
| Tennozu / Shinagawa Seaside | Canal walks, waterfront plans and Odaiba | Monorail or Rinkai Line options depending on the hotel | Less straightforward for repeated departures from Shinagawa Station |

Recommended hotels in detail
1. Shinagawa Prince Hotel
Shinagawa Prince is a practical choice when the station is the reason for staying here. The hotel complex is across from the Takanawa side, making it easy to combine an overnight stay with Keikyu airport trains or a Shinkansen departure. Dining and entertainment around the complex also help on a rainy day or when the family does not want another train journey.
Book the tower as carefully as the hotel name. Offers in the Main, Annex, East and N towers can differ in room size, bed arrangements and access. A low-priced compact category is not equivalent to a larger family option. If your priority is a quick departure, locate your tower entrance and the correct station route before the morning rush.
For stays from November 1, 2026, check the renovation notice before choosing the Main or Annex Tower. Work is scheduled until April 1, 2029, generally from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with possible noise and room-type changes. Families planning daytime naps and travelers expecting to work in their rooms should compare an unaffected option.
Address: 4-10-30 Takanawa, Minato-ku, Tokyo. .
2. Grand Prince Hotel Shin Takanawa
Grand Prince Hotel Shin Takanawa suits travelers who want the transport advantages of Shinagawa without spending the entire stay in a station-front atmosphere. Its gardens and larger hotel grounds give families and couples a place to slow down, and a shuttle circulates among the neighboring Prince properties.
The walk from the station is uphill, so it deserves more attention with cases, a stroller or limited mobility. A hotel shuttle can help, but it runs to a schedule and is not a private transfer available at any moment. Check the particular room, included meals and lounge terms rather than assuming every rate includes the same facilities.
Allow about five minutes uphill from Shinagawa’s Takanawa Exit, or three minutes from Takanawadai. Its scheduled shuttle links the neighboring Prince hotels; allow for waiting and traffic.
Address: 3-13-1 Takanawa, Minato-ku, Tokyo. .
3. The Prince Sakura Tower Tokyo, Autograph Collection
Sakura Tower is worth comparing when the last Tokyo night is also a special part of the trip. Its position within the Prince garden area pairs access to Shinagawa with a quieter setting, with spacious accommodation and in-room air-bubble baths. It is a different proposition from simply finding the cheapest bed by the station.
The value depends on making use of the hotel experience. If you arrive late and leave very early, a simpler station-side room may make more sense. Confirm which relaxation facilities are included in your plan and any age or access restrictions before building the stay around them. A garden setting does not guarantee a particular view from every room.
Allow about three minutes to walk from Shinagawa Station. Confirm the entrance and room category rather than treating the neighboring Prince properties as interchangeable.
Address: 3-13-1 Takanawa, Minato-ku, Tokyo. .
4. Shinagawa Tobu Hotel
Shinagawa Tobu provides another option on the Takanawa side without requiring you to move the stay to a different railway district. It suits travelers who want a conventional hotel base and are happy to walk a little farther from the station. Compare its twin and larger room choices if several people are traveling together.
The route rises away from Shinagawa Station, which matters more with heavy cases than the map distance suggests. For a single night, weigh any saving against the arrival and departure walk. Reserve the exact number of beds you need; descriptions aimed at families do not mean every standard room can accommodate additional adults or children.
Since August 1, 2026, overnight luggage storage is chargeable and available only when you have another stay booked. Storage collected on the day of check-in or check-out remains free.
Read the current luggage-storage policy
Address: 4-7-6 Takanawa, Minato-ku, Tokyo. .
5. The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo
The Strings suits couples and business travelers who want to combine Shinagawa’s transport with a more polished hotel stay. Its high-floor rooms and dining spaces sit above the Konan office district, and the hotel confirms an internal walkway connection to the station. It is particularly easy to justify when you will spend time enjoying the room and the hotel’s restaurants.
Book a named room category if a particular view or Club access matters. There is also an important naming change: from December 1, 2026, the hotel will be called InterContinental Tokyo Shinagawa. Existing reservations remain valid, although booking platforms may update the name at different times. Use the address to confirm you are comparing the same property.
Address: 2-16-1 Konan, Minato-ku, Shinagawa East One Tower, Tokyo. .
6. Tokyo Marriott Hotel
Tokyo Marriott is more appealing when you want the Gotenyama setting and an international full-service hotel than when your sole requirement is the shortest walk to a train. The surrounding garden and neighborhood give the stay a different feel from Shinagawa’s station frontage. Couples and business travelers with time at the property are the most natural fit.
Do not treat it as a hotel directly attached to Shinagawa Station. Check the access map and current transport options when arriving with luggage, and budget for the final approach. For a very early Shinkansen departure, compare the complete door-to-platform journey against the closer station-side hotels before deciding that a room-rate difference is worthwhile.
Allow about five minutes on foot from Kita-Shinagawa, or ten minutes from Shinagawa; a scheduled shuttle also serves Shinagawa. Use the current timetable for the bus-stop location and departure times.
Address: 4-7-36 Kitashinagawa, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo. .
7. Tokyu Stay Takanawa
Tokyu Stay Takanawa is especially useful for travelers who want a practical base for several nights. The currently listed room categories include washer-dryers and microwaves; kitchenettes are limited to the Residential category. Sengakuji’s rail connections are relevant for Haneda journeys, while Takanawa Gateway adds a JR option for sightseeing.
The key trade-off is choosing room equipment over a location directly outside Shinagawa Station. Check the exact bed configuration, appliance list and housekeeping schedule before booking. A kitchenette or a larger layout should be selected explicitly if you need it. This is a particularly sensible comparison for people packing light who would otherwise spend an evening looking for a laundromat.
Simple housekeeping is on request, with full room cleaning once a week for stays of seven nights or more. Build that arrangement into your expectations for a longer stay.
Address: 2-16-29 Takanawa, Minato-ku, Tokyo. .
8. APA Hotel Shinagawa Sengakuji Ekimae
This APA combines a location beside Sengakuji with public bathing facilities, giving solo travelers a practical alternative to Shinagawa’s larger hotels. It is one minute on foot from Sengakuji Exit A2 and within walking reach of Takanawa Gateway. It is useful when airport connections and a straightforward room matter more than spacious surroundings.
Standard rooms are compact, so two guests with large suitcases should inspect the room size rather than relying on the double-room label. The bath is shared, with its own operating rules. Sengakuji is on the Asakusa/Keikyu route, but choose the correct train service for Haneda instead of assuming every departure goes to the airport.
The standard single/double is listed at 11 m², while the twin is 16 m². Two people with large suitcases should compare actual floor area, not just the room’s double-occupancy label.
Address: 2-16-30 Takanawa, Minato-ku, Tokyo. .
9. Miyako City Tokyo Takanawa
Miyako City is a useful middle ground for couples who care about the room experience but do not need a large entertainment complex. Bathrooms have a separate washing area. The walk takes about four minutes from Takanawa Gateway and seven minutes from Shinagawa or Sengakuji.
This position gives you several rail choices, but the best station depends on the journey. For a Shinkansen morning, count the walk to Shinagawa and the route inside the station; for ordinary JR sightseeing, Takanawa Gateway may be simpler. Compare room dimensions and views by category rather than assuming every room shares the promotional photograph.
Use the south ticket gate at Takanawa Gateway for the current four-minute route shown by the hotel. The alternatives from Shinagawa and Sengakuji take about seven minutes on foot.
Address: 3-19-17 Takanawa, Minato-ku, Tokyo. .
10. Mitsui Garden Hotel Gotanda
Mitsui Garden Gotanda is a good fit if your evenings revolve around eating in the neighborhood rather than staying beside a Shinkansen terminal. Top-floor bathing facilities add to the appeal, and Gotanda’s JR and subway connections make it useful for moving around Tokyo. It is especially attractive to couples who want a bath after a long sightseeing day.
For Haneda or a Shinkansen departure, you still need to plan the journey through Shinagawa or another suitable connection. That is a modest trade-off on an ordinary sightseeing day but more consequential before an early train. Consider whether you will actually use the public bath when comparing the price with a simpler Gotanda room.
The public baths are on the 16th floor, but the men’s and women’s facilities have different views and layouts. Do not assume the skyline photograph represents both.
Address: 2-2-6 Higashigotanda, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo. .
11. OMO5 Tokyo Gotanda by Hoshino Resorts
OMO5 Tokyo Gotanda is for travelers who want the hotel and neighborhood to be part of the trip. High-floor spaces and an emphasis on exploring Gotanda set it apart from a purely functional business hotel. It suits couples and friends who plan to spend the evening nearby and enjoy a more social hotel atmosphere.
The hotel is not directly over Gotanda Station, so include the street walk when arriving with luggage. Compare it with Mitsui Garden Gotanda according to what you will use: the OMO atmosphere and common spaces, or a closer station approach and public-bath focus. For one late arrival followed by an early departure, those extras may contribute little to the stay.
Allow about six minutes from Gotanda or one minute from Osaki-Hirokoji. Those stations serve different lines, so choose by your rail journey as well as the walk.
Address: 8-4-13 Nishigotanda, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo. .
12. Ours Inn Hankyu
Ours Inn Hankyu is a practical choice for travelers who like shops, food and everyday services close at hand. The hotel is part of the Oimachi station-area complex, and Oimachi offers JR, Rinkai and Tokyu connections. It can work for solo trips and families who would rather have a useful neighborhood base than a luxury hotel setting.
Read the building and room category carefully because the accommodation is not uniform. The nearby bathing facility is another reason to compare plans, but access should not be assumed to be included in every room rate. Oimachi is a separate station from Shinagawa, so retain time for the first rail leg on an airport or Shinkansen morning.
Check in at the third-floor front desk in the S Building; a third-floor passage connects S and T. Allow about one minute from JR Oimachi’s central west side or Rinkai Exit A2, and three minutes from the Tokyu station.
Address: 1-50-5 Oi, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo. .
13. Loisir Hotel Shinagawa Seaside
Loisir is worth comparing for a Tokyo Bay or Odaiba-oriented stay. Seaside-facing rooms offer views, and the wider Shinagawa Seaside neighborhood gives travelers a different pace from the main Shinagawa station frontage. Selected larger or family-oriented layouts can be useful when the exact bedding suits your group.
A city-facing room is not a bay-view room: select the view category rather than relying on the hotel name. Shinagawa Seaside uses the Rinkai Line and is not another exit of Shinagawa Station. This choice works best when your itinerary supports the location, rather than when you need to begin every morning at the Shinkansen gates.
The renovated 32 m² four-person loft room (ロフトフォース) has four sleeping places in two bunk-bed units and a shower without a bathtub. The Japanese Modern Twin also allows four guests, but uses two 140 cm-wide beds. Choose between separate sleeping places and bed sharing before comparing prices.
Address: 4-12-8 Higashishinagawa, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo. .
14. Hearton Hotel Higashishinagawa
Hearton Higashishinagawa offers a conventional hotel base in the Shinagawa Seaside area. It is a useful comparison for travelers who want nearby shopping and access to the Rinkai Line rather than a premium room beside Shinagawa Station. Use the hotel’s station and airport access guide to plan the final approach.
This is a location-led choice. Rinkai Line journeys can suit waterfront plans and connections toward western Tokyo, while other destinations require more thought. Check the coverage of any rail pass separately and compare total transport spending as well as the hotel rate. If you drive, confirm the car-park reservation requirements and vehicle dimensions in advance.
Drivers should note that the hotel’s multi-storey car park requires a reservation and has a 155 cm height limit. Check another parking option before arriving in a taller vehicle.
Address: 4-13-27 Higashishinagawa, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo. .
15. Toyoko Inn Shinagawa Konan-guchi Tennozu Isle
This Toyoko Inn is useful for travelers who want a simpler stay around Tennozu rather than a hotel at the busy Shinagawa frontage. Breakfast is included, and Tennozu Isle’s transport links are nearby. The neighborhood also makes sense when canal walks and the nearby arts district are part of your plans.
The words Shinagawa Konan-guchi in the name should not be read as a promise that the hotel is directly outside the station. Check the current shuttle information and the alternative route before booking an early departure. A scheduled hotel shuttle is helpful only when its operating hours match your journey; it should not be your only plan for a time-critical train.
Breakfast is included. If you plan to use the Shinagawa shuttle, check its first and last departures and keep an alternative route for a time-critical train.
Address: 2-2-35 Higashishinagawa, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo. .
Which Shinagawa hotel should you shortlist?
For one night before a Shinkansen, compare Shinagawa Prince with the station-connected Strings first. For a slower, more comfortable final night, consider Sakura Tower or Grand Prince Shin Takanawa. Long-stay travelers should look closely at Tokyu Stay Takanawa’s room equipment; couples who want evening dining and a public bath can compare Mitsui Garden Gotanda.
For family travel, start with the actual beds and permitted occupancy, then choose the neighborhood. A larger room at Loisir or a suitable Oimachi option may be useful for a waterfront itinerary, but it is a different trip from sleeping opposite Shinagawa Station. Use our Tokyo travel guide to check how the base fits the rest of your days.
Airport and Shinkansen mornings
Keikyu services connect Shinagawa with Haneda, and the Tokaido Shinkansen makes Shinagawa useful for onward travel west. Those advantages are strongest when the hotel is genuinely close to the station. With a hotel in Gotanda, Oimachi, Tennozu or Shinagawa Seaside, add the first journey and station transfer to your plan.
A hotel in the Shinagawa area is not an airport-terminal hotel. If the flight leaves before public transport can comfortably get you to the required terminal, compare the hotels at and around Haneda Airport. Do not judge the journey using the fastest daytime train time alone.
Common booking mistakes
- Confusing Shinagawa Station, Shinagawa Seaside and the wider Shinagawa district.
- Ignoring the uphill approach to some Takanawa hotels.
- Booking the cheapest Prince listing without checking the tower.
- Assuming a public bath, breakfast or lounge is included in every rate.
- Choosing a hotel shuttle without checking its first and last departures.
- Buying a subway pass for an itinerary dominated by JR and Keikyu.
How to use a Shinagawa base
On arrival day, leave the luggage at the hotel if storage is available and keep the first outing nearby. The Takanawa garden area and station restaurants are easy options from the main station hotels; Tennozu makes more sense from the canal-side properties. For a multi-night stay, group western Tokyo sightseeing together from Gotanda and waterfront days together from Shinagawa Seaside rather than repeatedly crossing the city.

Transport and tickets to compare
Choose tickets after setting your itinerary. Check the covered routes, visit date and cancellation conditions before paying; a pass only helps when it covers the journeys or attractions you actually plan to use.
Shinagawa hotel FAQ
Is Shinagawa a good area for a first Tokyo visit?
Yes, especially when Haneda and the Shinkansen shape the itinerary. It is a transport-focused choice with convenient onward travel, rather than a neighborhood where the main sightseeing attractions are all outside the hotel.
Which station exit is best?
The Takanawa side has a broader selection of hotels, including the Prince properties and Shinagawa Tobu. The Konan side is useful for The Strings and the modern office district. Choose the actual hotel route, including any hills or walkways.
Is Gotanda a sensible alternative?
Yes for a longer stay with Yamanote Line sightseeing and evening dining. It is less direct for a morning Shinkansen because you first need to get to Shinagawa.
Which hotels have a public bath?
APA Hotel Shinagawa Sengakuji Ekimae and Mitsui Garden Gotanda are clear options. Ours Inn Hankyu also allows you to compare plans involving the nearby bathing facility. Confirm access rules and inclusions for the plan you reserve.
Are The Strings and InterContinental Tokyo Shinagawa different hotels?
No. The hotel’s announced name change takes effect on December 1, 2026. Existing bookings remain valid; individual booking platforms may change their displayed name at different times.
Is Shinagawa Seaside the same station as Shinagawa?
No. Shinagawa Seaside is a separate Rinkai Line station. Its hotels can suit waterfront plans, but you must allow for another journey if you need Shinagawa’s Shinkansen platforms.
Should I stay beside Shinagawa Station before an early Shinkansen?
A station-side hotel reduces the number of morning connections. Include the walk to the correct entrance and the route to your platform; a hotel elsewhere in the wider Shinagawa district may require an initial train ride.
Which hotel is useful for laundry on a longer stay?
Tokyu Stay Takanawa offers rooms with washer-dryers. Check the exact category and equipment you are booking rather than assuming every appliance or kitchenette is included.
Are all Prince hotel rooms in the same building?
No. Check the specific property, tower and room category. A room in the Shinagawa Prince complex is not interchangeable with a room at Grand Prince Shin Takanawa or The Prince Sakura Tower.
Is the walk to the Takanawa hotels flat?
Some hotels stand uphill from Shinagawa Station. Look at the hotel’s access map and any current shuttle schedule if you are arriving with heavy cases, a stroller or limited mobility.
