INSIDE: Everything you need to know about the best Family hotels in Tokyo Odaiba.
Tokyo is ginormous, and it’s ALWAYS a tricky proposition deciding where to stay.
Our past two visits, we’ve broken up our Tokyo accommodation nights into two halves, spending five nights in one suburb and the other nights on the opposite side of town.
And we’ve planned the itinerary in the same way, sticking to the same side of the city as where we are living to avoid any extra time on the trains, metro and subway than absolutely necessary.
But, traipsing from one side of town to another mid-holiday kind of spoils the fun so a more central, hassle-free hotel stay in on our agenda for our future trips.
And the location we are choosing?
ODAIBA TOKYO.
There’s something damn right appealing about a hotel that’s close enough to the action of Tokyo, but just a small electric transit railway trip away, with PLENTY of green space, AND a pirate playground nearby.
The Best Place to Stay in Tokyo for getting around?
Definitely Odaiba for kids activities in Tokyo, & Disneyland!
