I, personally, recommend Asakusa for families with children who are 6 years+. There aren’t as many nice playgrounds in this area and it is a bit out of the way for other sightseeing so it will require getting on and off the subway a bit to get around. This area is always vibey and is incredible to walk around at night. If you are a budding photographer who likes to get lots of old-world Japan photos, you will also love it here for that reason.
Please note that this area is also very close to Skytree and Ueno.
Koko Residence Hotel Tawaramachi
This hotel sleep up tos 5 people (more if you have children under 6 years old who do not require additional beds) depending on the rooms. The room has its own washing machine so it is more of an apartment than a hotel. You can also borrow game consoles for kids. Here are the child-friendly options in the area of Asakusa.
Mimaru Asakusa Station and Mimaru Asakusa Suites is also incredible and has multiple rooms within each apartment (great for if adults like to stay up later than children. See here for other hotels with multi-room options.
This hotel has vending machines and their customer service (in English) is fabulous. They also allow luggage forwarding.
The Mimaru in Asakusa also has a kitchen area with seating for 6 people. You can also borrow appliances from the reception desk such as toasters or coffee machines and different entertainment options.
These hotel apartments can sleep up to 8 people (more people if you have children who are small enough to bed share)
Mimaru Asakusa options are one of the few hotel options who offer multiple rooms within an apartment as an option. This is perfect for young families where parents don’t necessarily want to sleep in the same room as their parents.
This hotel is just 3 mins walk from Sensoji Temple and has an in-house coin laundry (and you can see if it’s ready via a device inside of your room.)
Tosei Hotel Cocono Asakusa is a simple 3 star hotel and is only 7 minutes walk from Asakusa Station. Their family rooms have bunk beds (as in 2 sets of bunks) and can sleep up to 4 people.
There is also a simple cafe with coffee, cakes and Japanese curry rice within the hotel (please take note that it is closed on Wednesdays.). This hotel has quite small rooms but is simple and clean and is more affordable than many other family friendly hotels in the areas. Please note that, although this hotel is non-smoking there is a smoking room on the ground floor.
This hotel has in in-house coin laundry and vending machines on the second floor.
