Where to Stay in Tokyo with a Large Family (5+)

Planning a trip to Tokyo with 5 or more people? You’ve probably already hit a wall.
Most hotels force you to book two separate rooms, which means your accommodation cost doubles and the family gets split up.

Finding a single large room in Tokyo takes forever. But don’t worry. I’m a local dad living in Tokyo for over 20 years (see our profile here). I’ve curated this list of spacious hotels and apartments to save your trip.

My Recommendation For groups of 5+, I highly recommend Apartment Hotels (kitchens & space!).
However, if you prefer full service, I’ve also listed the best Hotels with Connecting Rooms below.

Top 5 Apartment Hotels in Tokyo (Best for 5+ People)

Most travelers look for “MIMARU” first because it’s been becoming so popular and now is the gold standard for family hotels. However, MIMARU sells out relatively fast.

If MIMARU is full, don’t worry. I have selected 3 other “Hidden Gem” brands (&Here, MONday, Minn) and last one but the least “Hyatt” that offer the same comfort—spacious rooms, kitchens, and in-room laundry—often at a better price.

Conclusion: If you find a room in any of the quality 5 brands below, better to book it soon before sold out.

🏆 The Gold Standard
MIMARU SUITES Tokyo Asakusa
9.3 Exceptional

This is the ultimate choice for large families. All rooms are suites with 2 bedrooms or more. Unlike regular hotels, it comes with a full kitchen and, most importantly, an in-room washer/dryer. It accommodates 6+ people comfortably, feeling like a luxury condo.

FAQ: Staying in Tokyo with a Large Family

FAQ: Staying in Tokyo with a Large Family

Here are answers to common questions I get from travelers.

Q. How far in advance should I book?
For groups of 5+, I strongly recommend booking 3 to 6 months in advance. Large rooms are very limited (less than 5% of total supply) and vanish quickly during Cherry Blossom (Mar-Apr) and Autumn (Oct-Nov) seasons.
Q. Is it cheaper to book two rooms or one large suite?
It depends on the season, but booking one large suite at the Apartment Hotels I listed above can often be cheaper than booking two separate hotel rooms. Plus, you get a kitchen and living space to relax together, which saves money on dining out!
Q. Do children stay for free?
Generally, children under 6 years old stay free if co-sleeping. Children aged 7-12 usually require a paid bed. Please check the “Child Policy” on the booking site carefully before confirming.
Q. Airbnb vs. Hotels?
Unlike individual Airbnb listings, the Apartment Hotels I recommend here are professionally managed by major companies. This means reliable cleaning, front desk support, and no “surprises.” The Regular Hotels with connecting rooms listed in this post also guarantee a safe and smooth experience from booking to check-out.
