Sanrio Characters Garden Cafe

A ninja room for up to 8 with shuriken and scrolls, and a sushi themed concept apartment, both 75 square meters, near the airport express trains.

A very family-oriented Ueno stay with unusually roomy accommodations and options for larger groups who need more than a standard Tokyo hotel room.

You can rent a paddle boat, see a zoo and choose from several museums without ever really leaving the park.

A manageable art museum beside the zoo, useful when one parent wants culture and the kids only have an hour of patience.

A big zoo with elephants, giraffes and hippos, plus a children's corner where small kids can get close to the animals.

Dinosaurs are the hook, but there is enough space, nature and Japanese science here to keep curious kids busy for hours.
