Tokyo might be vast, but it’s remarkably well-suited for families. It’s one of the safest cities in the world; easy to navigate by train, subway, or stroller-accommodating taxi; and full of surprises that delight kids and grown-ups alike: think conveyor-belt sushi joints, cartoon-themed cafés, and interactive digital art museums like TeamLab Borderless and TeamLab Planets. The city’s famously warm hospitality extends to travelers of all ages, and green spaces—both pocket-sized and sprawling—offer plenty of room to run, play, or decompress.
Still, traveling with children isn’t quite the same as honeymooning in a ryokan. When it comes to picking out the right Tokyo hotel, you’ll want kid-friendly dining options, bigger bathrooms, and soundproofing that doesn’t leave nap time to chance. Space comes at a premium, so expect more compact accommodations in general—this is Tokyo, after all. Fortunately, the city has a growing number of thoughtfully designed stays for families that maximize comfort without sacrificing style. Just be sure to confirm the number of guests per room: Japan’s strict earthquake safety codes require an accurate headcount. Below, our picks for the 11 best family hotels in Tokyo, Japan, from boutique hotels and apartment-style digs to five-star luxury.
How we choose the best family hotels in Tokyo
Every hotel review on this list has been written by a Condé Nast Traveler journalist who knows the destination and has visited that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider properties across price points that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination, keeping design, location, service, and sustainability credentials top of mind.

Neighborhood: RoppongiThis sleek Roppongi Hills property stands out for its attentive approach to family hospitality. Children receive stylish cotton yukata robes matching their parents' instead of standard pajamas, and can embark on art-themed scavenger hunts throughout the hotel (complete with prizes). The kids menu at the Oak Door restaurant doubles as an illustrated coloring sheet featuring Tokyo landmarks and a smiling Mount Fuji, with the mini burger being the runaway hit. For quieter moments, in-room dining caters to young palates with child-friendly favorites including Japanese curry and spaghetti. The seasonal Pokémon Beach Resort collaboration (June–August 2025) transforms select accommodations into tropical island hideaways with giant Lapras and Snorlax plushies, themed meals (Bulbasaur Burger, Pikachu pancakes), and take-home goodies. The ultra-exclusive beach resort suite (limited to one booking per night) features palm trees, ocean-colored rugs, and a Pikachu-themed gift set including beach accessories.
