Tokyo with Kids and Where To Stay

Tokyo Family Hotels – My Advice

  • Family-sized rooms are rare in Tokyo and sell out early. If you find something you like book it immediately.
  • Booking.com is the best site for booking hotels in Tokyo (great rates, easy to use, reliable).
  • Best Luxury Hotels for Families in Tokyo: Four Seasons Otemachi • Grand Hyatt Tokyo
  • Best Cheap Hotels for Families in Tokyo: Hotel 3000 Jyuraku • Dai Ichi Hotel Ryogoku
  • Best Apartment for Families in Tokyo: Hotel Axas Nihonbashi
  • Best Ryokan for Families in Tokyo: Ryokan Asakusa Shigetsu – traditional Japanese-style rooms. Highly recommended!
  • The attractions of Tokyo are spread around the city. There is not one-area that is best for families. The most important thing is to be close to a subway station. Read: Where to stay in Tokyo
  • The best playgrounds for kids in Tokyo are at Sakura-zaka (Robot) Park and Ueno Park (across from the main entrance to the zoo).
  • DisneySea is less busy and more interesting than Tokyo Disneyland.

The 12 Best Kid-Friendly Hotels in Tokyo

1. Four Seasons Otemachi

Best place to stay with kids in Tokyo.
A different vibe than the Ginza-located Four Seasons Marunouchi, less urban and trendy, more relaxed. Adds a pool while being not quite as central or convenient. Might be slightly more kid-friendly. Fantastic views of Tokyo.

2. Saunaland Asakusa

Large hotel for families in Tokyo.
Great location in charming Asakusa – a quieter neighborhood by Tokyo standards but still with plenty of restaurants and some great signts nearby. Hotel is close to subway with good connections all around the city. The Family Suite can sleep up to 6. There are also triples and quadruples. Free laundry services (washer and dryer but you need to pay for detergent).

3. Grand Hyatt Tokyo

Best Tokyo Hotel with Pool
Wonderful, kid-friendly hotel with a wide range of restaurants onsite, including local Japanese and crowd-pleasing Italian flavors, along with an indoor pool, salon, and spa. Rooms and suites are all spacious; some suites include kitchens, and the Presidential Suite boasts a private, heated, outdoor pool. The Grand Hyatt Tokyo is well-located in Roppongi Hills, just steps away from its 200 restaurant and shops, movie theater, museum, and rooftop observatory.

4. Hilton Tokyo Bay

Tokyo Disneyland Family Room
An official Disney hotel on the grounds of Disneyland and one stop on the Disney monorail to both Disneyland and DisneySea. Large outdoor pool (but only open in summer) and indoor fitness pool for adults. Huge family rooms can sleep a family of 5 or 6, and slightly smaller Happy Magic rooms easily sleep 4. The Hilton is as kid-friendly a hotel as you’ll find in Tokyo. It’s about 30 minutes by subway from Disney to downtown Tokyo.

5. Mitsui Garden Shiodome

Mitsui Garden Hotel with Kids
Nice hotel in a quieter part of Tokyo but still easy access to the subway (Ginza, Tokyo Station, and Odaiba are nearby). The Japanese bath on the top floor is great. The triples have 3 large beds and can easily sleep a family of 4 (though you’ll have to book for 3 people and “hide” the fourth member but the hotel is big enough that this is easily done). Subway: Shiodome is a 3 minute walk.

6. Asakusa View

Asakusa View Hotel with Kids
Huge rooms (some with 4 large beds), great location, and many nearby sights, shops, and restaurants. Asakusa is a charming and interesting neighborhood and this hotel is in the center of it. Direct access to the Asakusa subway station.

7. Mimaru Ueno East

Tokyo hotel with kitchen.
Close to Ueno Station (convenient for Narita Airport and good subway connections with top sights around Tokyo) this wonderful hotel has great family-friendly apartments and connecting rooms for larger groups or families. Rooms come with fully-equipped kitchens and dining rooms. Several good restaurants and two convenience stores are nearby.

8. Sotetsu Fresa Inn Tokyo-Toyocho

Sotetsu Fresa Inn with Kids
The Economy Quadruple Room (2 twin beds and a bunk bed) is a great deal if you’re able to book it. The hotel is in a quieter neighborhood – about 15 minutes by subway to both central Tokyo and Disneyland. The station is 30 seconds from the hotel. If you’re trying to do Tokyo on a budget this is a great choice.

9. Tourist Hotel & Cafe Akihabara

Tokyo hotel for family of 5.
Nice hotel with a variety of large family-friendly rooms. Close to Akihabara subway station. Good onsite restaurant.

10. Hotel Rose Garden Shinjuku

Hotel Rose Garden Shinjuku with Kids
Quadruples are good for families and have 2 twin and 2 sofa beds (rooms are not huge though). Great location in Shinjuku. Nishi Shinjuku subway station 1 minute from hotel.

11. Hotel Edoya

Japanese style family room with tatami mats.
Japanese style ryokan with tatami mats and mattresses on the floor. Large triple and quadruple rooms provide plenty of space for families. Traditional Japanese baths on the top floor are great (segregated by sex).

12. Shiba Park Hotel

Shiba Park Hotel with Kids
Good value hotel located in a quiet (but central) Tokyo neighborhood. Inexpensive tasty Japanese restaurants (along with a Starbucks and a few other western restaurants) are just down the street. Triple and quadruple rooms are large. Onarimon and Daimon subway stations are a few minutes walk away.
