1. Spacious Rooms and 2-Bedroom Suites for Families

Finding a Tokyo hotel for a family of five can be challenging, but Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo makes it effortless with a wide range of spacious accommodations. Families can enjoy the Prime Deluxe Twin with Tatami Space, a hybrid room that combines Western beds with a traditional Japanese tatami area so parents can rest comfortably while children nap safely on futon bedding. 

Those seeking a more immersive experience may opt for the Japanese Suite, inspired by a traditional tea ceremony room, which offers a calm, authentic atmosphere and futon sleeping ideal for toddlers. 

For larger groups or multi-generational travel, the Prime Premier Garden Suite features two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a spacious living room, giving families the comfort of a private apartment within a luxury hotel. 

Guests can also book two adjoining Prime Superior Rooms with a connecting door for privacy and ease of movement, creating a flexible layout that feels like a private home. 

2. Kid-Friendly Amenities and Services

Families can request complimentary extra beds or cribs when booking, and infants receive a full amenity kit including baby shampoo, a plush doll, gauze towels, a bottle warmer, a feeding bottle, diapers and more—everything needed for a comfortable stay without overpacking. 

Stroller rental and storage are available at the concierge, while dedicated nursing and diaper-changing rooms on the main floor and in the banquet hall make it simple to care for little ones throughout the day. Even last-minute necessities are covered thanks to the hotel shop, which carries baby diapers, bibs, children’s clothing and toys. 

Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo also features an all-weather heated swimming pool filled with natural light and hot spring water sourced directly from Ito. This tranquil space lets families unwind together regardless of the season. 

Please note that children under four years old are not permitted to enter, and those aged four to twelve may use the pool between 8:00 and 18:00. 

3. Dining with Children: Family-Friendly Restaurants in Tokyo at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo

Every restaurant within the hotel – from the Italian fine-dining Il Teatro to the Japanese restaurant Miyuki and the kaiseki specialist Ryotei Kinsui – offers specially designed menus for younger guests. 

For families with younger children, private dining rooms can be arranged at Il Teatro so everyone can dine in comfort without worrying about disturbing other guests. 

Our room service menu also includes a generous selection of kid-friendly dishes, making it easy to serve breakfast or dinner without leaving your suite. For breakfast, guests can opt for cereal with sliced banana or berries, eggs prepared according to the child’s preference, pancakes, or a set with French toast, eggs and a baked apple.

The lunch and dinner menus include corn cream soup, fried chicken and French fries, spaghetti with meat sauce, or a set meal with chicken omelet, rice and French fries. 

4. Babysitting and Childcare Services at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo

Parents who wish to enjoy a spa treatment, a romantic dinner, or a night out in the city can take advantage of Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo’s babysitting service. 

Available for staying guests and bookable at least four working days in advance, the service provides experienced caretakers who will watch children either in the nursery room of the hotel or in the guest room itself. This flexibility allows parents to relax knowing their children are safe and well-looked after on-site. 

Please note that bookings must be made at least four working days in advance. Rates start at 3,000 yen per hour during the day, excluding transportation fees, with evening and early-morning care also available. 

5. Explore Our Japanese Garden and Seasonal Events with Kids

One of the most enchanting aspects of staying at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, widely regarded as one of the leading Tokyo family resorts, is its 150-year-old Japanese garden, a serene escape that captivates visitors of all ages. 

Chinzanso Garden features twelve scenic spots, seven seasons, and the famous Tokyo Sea of Clouds that drifts over the grounds several times a day. Children delight in the magical atmosphere, especially at night when the pathways are illuminated or during winter when the Forest Aurora light display appears.

In fact, during the Christmas season, the entire hotel takes on a festive atmosphere with dazzling decorations, a magnificent tree, and a nostalgic miniature diorama of moving trains and a Ferris wheel. The highlight for many families is the “Christmas Stay with Santa” accommodation plan. Children can meet Santa Claus in the hotel’s chapel, receive a present prepared in advance by their parents, and take a commemorative photo with him – a memory they’ll treasure long after the trip ends.

Families visiting in spring can enjoy the hotel’s firefly viewing celebration, while summer brings the wind chime display. Nearly the entire garden is stroller-friendly, with paved paths and gentle slopes, making it easy for parents to explore without hassle.
