Tokyo is an awesome place to visit with the entire family. There’s lots to do, it’s easy to get around, and the people are friendly. Unfortunately, many of the city’s hotels have small rooms and single beds, and finding a family friendly hotel in Tokyo can be tough. That’s why we’ve taken the time to compile this list of the best kid friendly hotels in Tokyo. Whether the hotel has many kid-friendly amenities, is located near one of Tokyo’s most popular kid-friendly attractions, or just caters to the needs of kids, here are the top 10 kid friendly hotels in Tokyo in no particular order.
Note: When we travel, we usually prefer Airbnbs. However, an Airbnb is not always an option. Plus, when you get an Airbnb, you have to do a lot more work — like making your own bed and cooking your own meals — and sometimes you just want to be pampered.
