Which part of Hachiōji to stay in
There are many love hotels close to JR and Keio Hachioji Stations, and can even be found in less populated and mountainous areas. Normally love hotels operate on an hourly/bi-hourly system, but are also known to have a cheaper overnight charge. If you want to walk around western areas of Tokyo such as Hachioji and Machida, consider lodging near Tama Center Station or at Tachikawa Station.

When to go
The best time to visit Hachiōji
Hachiōji has no month that is both mild and dry by the measure used here. August is the warmest month, with average highs of 30 °C; September is the wettest, with about 222 mm of rain.
Comfortable means average daytime high between 18 °C and 29 °C and under 80 mm of rain in the month. Averages for 1991–2020 over the surrounding area, a grid square about 50 km across, so a coast or a nearby mountain can make the town itself warmer or cooler.

Getting there
Getting to Hachiōji: airports and arrival
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Tokyo Haneda International Airport (HND), about 45 km from the city centre in a straight line; Narita International Airport (NRT, 98 km) and Oshima Airport (OIM, 98 km) are also within reach.
Getting in
If coming from Narita Airport (NRT), take the JR Narita Express to Tokyo station, and change for the Chuo Line for service to Hachioji (about 2 hr 15 min, ¥3670). It is a real climb all the way up to the Chuo platforms, but since Chuo line trains start at Tokyo station, odds are you will probably find a seat. The alternative is to continue on the Narita Express to Shinjuku and from there board the Chuo Line, or the less-expensive Keio Line.
Getting around
City buses depart from all train stations and serve even the farthest outlying areas. Taxis can also be found at train stations. Renting a car is a reasonable option, but traffic can be slow and parking anywhere in Tokyo gets expensive.
