Tokyo's 194,597 Hotel Rooms: A Ward-by-Ward Supply Analysis
Five of Tokyo's 23 wards — Minato, Chuo, Shinjuku, Taito, and Chiyoda — control 62% of all 194,597 licensed hotel rooms in the capital. But the headline number conceals a structural split: Chiyoda and Chuo average 130 rooms per property (large business hotels), while Taito-ku's 593 facilities average just 38.7 rooms (Tokyo's budget tourism district). Between 2019 and 2023, hotel facilities grew 37.7% but rooms grew only 11.6% — new supply is getting smaller, not larger.
