The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho

Worth knowing about for the unusually large family rooms, including layouts with tatami and much more breathing room than the Tokyo norm.

Spacious rooms and direct subway access make this unusually easy for a luxury stay with kids in tow.

A pond, small museum and greenery make this more of an exploring park than a big equipment destination.

A high-end option that explicitly accommodates children in several room types and has a pool with child swimming hours for ages four and up.

A calmer central-Tokyo base with apartment-style rooms that work much better for families than a standard tiny hotel room.

Burgers, fries and outdoor seating by a broad avenue make this a low negotiation meal when kids are done trying new things.
