Hi guys I will be going to Tokyo last week of March doing FnE.
If I am going there for 6D5N just booking hotel at Tokyo is it ok?
My intention is to go on day trip out of Tokyo for 1 or 2 days, so no need to book hotel at other city?
For hotel if I book somewhere near Shinjuku is that good enough?
Any advise? Thank you.

The rest of the day just hang around Tokyo?
Or will it be too much days spend on Tokyo?
Any other day trip recommendation that I can do for day trip out of Tokyo?

6D is imho not enough for a leisure pace..alot of places to go and explore..so a day trip to hakone is gd enough.. Can consider Kawagoe also if you wan.

Should be ok to stay in Tokyo for your 6 days. However, if you haven't buy your ticket, I would suggest you to stay more days.

My 10 days Tokyo trip I also stay in the same hotel for 9 nites last month. Shinjuku area is good but a bit crowd.

I also my first time there free and easy.

During my 10 days, beside Tokyo city, I also went for day trip to:
- Yuzawa (snowing heavily when I went on Xmas eve)
- Kawaguchiko (to see mount fuji)
- Karuizawa (nothing much there)

With these 3 places - Yuzawa, Kawaguchiko and Karuizawa, I bought the 3 days Tokyo Wide pass at 10,000 yen. Quite worth for my trip because one way to Yuzawa is already 6000 yen. Below is the link you can refer to:https://www.jreast.co.jp/e/tokyowidepass/index.html?src=gnavi

Have a great trip!

If you have 10 days then i would suggest can perhaps do 2 day trip..If just 6/7 days, Tokyo more than enough..

My first trip i spend 4D, 2nd full 10D, 3rd 3D..

10 days just at Tokyo?

Tokyo itself is very big. My Tokyo trip last November - all 6 days at only city areas like Asakusa/Ueno/Shinjuku/Ikebukuro and its still not enough. I haven't even touch the typical day trips like Mt Fuji or Hakone etc.

I think for me, even 10 days also won't be enough. There's simply too many things in Tokyo to see/do in just one trip.
