In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Courtyard by Marriott Tokyo Station sits next to Tokyo Station — the largest rail hub in Japan — a 5-minute walk from the Yaesu exit. The hotel was renovated in 2020, and it scores 8.5/10 on a dependable Marriott Courtyard standard. Rooms start at 26 sqm and are finished in modern grey and navy after the refresh. The well-known Marriott Bed is soft and easy to sleep on, the work desk is wide, and the bathroom comes with standard Marriott amenities. The Wi-Fi is fast and stable, which makes the rooms genuinely workable if you need to get things done.
Food and amenities
The fitness room is open 24 hours and fully kitted out. There's a bar on the ground floor with a good feel to it, plus a cafe serving breakfast and drinks. There's no swimming pool, but the business facilities are all there.
Location and getting there
Tokyo Station is Japan's biggest rail hub. From here the Tokaido Shinkansen runs to Nagoya, Osaka and Kyoto, the Tohoku line heads up to Sendai, and the Hokuriku line carries on to Kanazawa. The Narita Express (N'EX) reaches Narita Airport in 53 minutes. It's about as convenient as Tokyo gets.
Things to know before booking
Rates start around $186 a night and run up to roughly $429, which is on the high side for a Courtyard — the mid-tier of the Marriott family rather than its luxury end. There's no pool, so it's a weaker fit for families who want one. And despite ranking in a Shinagawa list, it actually sits by Tokyo Station; getting to Shinagawa means an 8-to-10-minute ride on the Yamanote or Keihin-Tohoku Line.
Our take
Courtyard by Marriott Tokyo Station is the pick for business travelers connecting to the Shinkansen often, and for anyone who wants a familiar international standard in one of Tokyo's most convenient locations. Bonvoy regulars will get the most out of it.

The Honest Verdict — pros & what to know
- Runs to a reliable Marriott standard, with the consistent service chain travelers expect and Bonvoy points to earn.
- Just a 5-minute walk from Tokyo Station, where you can connect to every Shinkansen line — Tokaido south to Nagoya, Osaka and Kyoto, or Tohoku and Hokuriku heading north.
- Renovated in 2020, so the rooms feel modern and clean, finished in grey and navy with a wide work desk.
- Rooms start at 26 sqm with the well-regarded Marriott Bed, and the Wi-Fi is fast and stable — easy to actually work from your room.
- A 24-hour fitness room and a ground-floor bar mean you're covered late at night without leaving the building.
- Rates start around $186 and climb to roughly $429, which runs high for a Courtyard — the mid-tier of the Marriott family rather than its top end.
- There's no swimming pool, so families hoping to let the kids splash will need to look elsewhere.
- It sits by Tokyo Station rather than in Shinagawa itself, so reaching Shinagawa means an 8-to-10-minute hop on the Yamanote or Keihin-Tohoku Line.

Insider Tips
- If you're a Marriott Bonvoy member, book direct on Marriott's own site to earn points and get the most value.
- Ask for a Corner Room on the 8th floor or higher — those have the best views.
- For Narita Airport, the Narita Express (N'EX) leaves straight from Tokyo Station and reaches the airport in 53 minutes.
