Getting a Chase Edit hotel in Tokyo takes more work than simply finding the lowest nightly rate. The Edit credit requires a qualifying prepaid stay of at least two nights, and some Tokyo properties can also qualify for Chase's separate $250 Select Hotels credit in 2026.

The lowest rate we found was $330/night at The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo, followed by Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo at $413/night. Those two IHG properties are particularly interesting because a qualifying booking can potentially stack a $250 Edit credit with the separate $250 Select Hotels credit.

The Edit is available through Chase Travel for the Chase Sapphire Reserve® and Sapphire Reserve for Business℠.

TL;DR

  • The cheapest Tokyo Edit hotel we found was The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo at $330/night.

  • We found prices for 10 Tokyo properties participating in The Edit, ranging from $330/night to $966/night.

  • The $500 annual Edit credit is split into up to two $250 credits for the year. Each qualifying booking must be prepaid through Chase Travel and include at least two nights.

  • The Strings and Kimpton Shinjuku can potentially stack a $250 Edit credit with the separate $250 Select Hotels credit because they're IHG properties.

  • Use HotelMaxxer to compare Tokyo hotels and flexible dates, then verify the final rate and benefits through Chase Travel.

How to find the cheapest The Edit by Chase Travel hotels

HotelMaxxer makes it easier to compare participating properties and identify lower priced dates without manually checking every Tokyo hotel one by one.

Start by using HotelMaxxer to shortlist the lowest priced hotels and dates (the Tokyo prices in this guide were updated in Sep 2026). Once you find a promising option, search the same hotel and dates through Chase Travel.

The Chase Travel listing is what matters when you actually book. Confirm that the property still participates in The Edit, that your room is eligible, and that you're selecting the required prepaid rate if you want to use the statement credit.

Chase Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Reserve for Business, and J.P. Morgan Reserve cardmembers can receive up to $500 annually in Edit statement credits, with up to $250 per qualifying prepaid booking. Each qualifying stay needs to be at least two nights.

Prices in this guide were updated as of Sep 2026. "Cheapest" refers to the lowest nightly price we found for the dates checked, not a permanently available rate. Because the Edit statement credit requires at least two nights, the estimated qualifying totals below multiply the sampled nightly rate by two.

The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo

The Strings is the standout value in our Tokyo search. We found a rate of $330/night compared with an average of $553/night across the dates checked.

At that lowest rate rate, two nights would cost about $660. A $250 Edit credit would reduce that to roughly $410.

An interesting opportunity here is that The Strings is also an InterContinental hotel and part of IHG. A qualifying 2026 reservation can potentially receive the separate $250 Select Hotels credit too. If both the Edit and Select Hotels credit apply, the estimated effective cost falls to about $160 before other charges.

The hotel is directly connected to Shinagawa Station, which is particularly convenient if you'll be using the Shinkansen.

Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo by IHG

Kimpton Shinjuku is the strongest alternative if you'd rather stay in Shinjuku. We found rates as low as $413/night. Two nights at that sampled rate would be approximately $825.

The hotel is about a 12 minute walk from the south exit of JR Shinjuku Station and offers Kimpton's complimentary social hour. Kimpton hotels are also part of IHG, so they’re eligible for the 2026 Select Hotels credit as well.

The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho

The Prince Gallery is a step up in price but worth considering if its central location works better for your trip.

We found a low of $509/night. Two nights at that rate would be approximately $1,017.

It's about a one minute walk from Akasaka-mitsuke Station and directly connected to Nagatacho Station.

The tradeoff is the credit opportunity. Unlike The Strings and Kimpton, The Prince Gallery isn't part of one of the brands covered by Chase's separate 2026 Select Hotels credit. If maximizing Chase credits is your main goal, the cheaper IHG properties have a clear advantage.

BELLUSTAR TOKYO, A Pan Pacific Hotel

BELLUSTAR costs considerably more, but its Pan Pacific affiliation gives it an interesting credit advantage.

We found a low of $645/night. Two nights at that rate would be approximately $1,289.

BELLUSTAR occupies the upper floors of Tokyu Kabukicho Tower in Shinjuku and is about a one minute walk from Seibu Shinjuku Station.

This hotel makes sense if you want a higher end Shinjuku stay while still maximizing Chase's hotel credits.

The Tokyo EDITION, Ginza

The Tokyo EDITION, Ginza makes more sense for travelers prioritizing Ginza than for anyone simply trying to minimize cash cost. We found rates starting at $741/night.

The hotel's main advantage is its location just off Chuo Street in Ginza, putting you close to the neighborhood's shopping, restaurants, and transportation.

How to book The Edit by Chase Travel hotels in Japan

To trigger the Edit statement credit, book a prepaid "Pay Now" reservation through Chase Travel for at least two nights. Chase provides up to $500 in Edit statement credits per calendar year, with up to $250 applied to each qualifying booking.

The 2026 $250 Select Hotels credit is especially relevant in Tokyo. Through December 31, 2026, qualifying prepaid stays of at least two nights at participating brands, including IHG Hotels & Resorts and Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts, can receive up to another $250 back. This credit is separate from the Edit credit and can stack when the booking qualifies for both.

For example, two nights at the Intercontinental or Kimpton Shinjuku using our sampled $330/night rate would total approximately $660. Subtract a $250 Edit credit and a separate $250 Select Hotels credit, and the estimated effective cost becomes $160 before taxes and other charges.

What benefits do you get with The Edit by Chase Travel?

The Edit includes hotel benefits that can make a Chase Travel rate worthwhile even when the direct nightly rate is cheaper.

Pretty much all Japan Edit booking packages include daily breakfast for two, a property credit typically worth $100, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a welcome amenity. Potential room upgrades, early check-in, and late checkout depend on availability. Property specific amenities can vary.

Why The Edit Can Beat a Cheaper Direct Rate in Tokyo

The lowest nightly rate isn't necessarily the lowest final cost.

The Strings is a good example. Our sampled two night price is about $660. A qualifying Edit booking could receive a $250 Edit statement credit, and its IHG affiliation creates the possibility of another $250 through the 2026 Select Hotels credit.

That's potentially $500 back before considering Edit hotel benefits or an unused annual Chase travel credit.

But The Edit won't win every comparison. A discounted direct rate may still be cheaper after you've used your Chase credits. Booking directly can also matter for hotel specific promotions or loyalty benefits.

Compare the complete qualifying stay after the credits and benefits you'll actually use,not just the nightly rate shown on the first search screen.

Final Thoughts on the Cheapest The Edit by Chase Travel Hotels in Tokyo

The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo is the strongest value from the prices we checked. At $330/night, it had the lowest sampled price among the 10 Tokyo Edit properties, and its IHG affiliation creates the potential to stack the $250 Edit credit with the separate $250 Select Hotels credit.

Kimpton Shinjuku is the alternative I'd choose if you'd rather stay in Shinjuku. Use HotelMaxxer to find promising dates, then confirm the actual two night prepaid price and benefits through Chase Travel before booking.
