Pavi

Planning to visit Tokyo in March with kids(2adults+2 yr&5yr old). Only there for 4days on our way somewhere else.I heard rooms are smaller with twin beds so any hotel recommendations with 2 dbl beds or perhaps family rooms with tatami mattresses? We will arrive in narita and closer to transit is essential. Thanks all!

Mimaru suites are super popular with North American travellers. More expensive but more akin to standard hotel room in terms of size. Find one close to Ueno or Tokyo stn for direct access from Narita airport.

Sapphire definitely Mimaru! We were there Mar/Apr this year and it was about $250/night (for 2 adults and two preteens)

It you book early, many hotels have a few rooms with 3 or even 4 beds in a room. Search any hotel booking site.
Also note, in Tokyo you will do lots and lots of walking. Up and down stairs at train and subway stations and more. With the little ones, pace yourself each day.

N make sure u check if the hotel is near a train station that has an elevator

We are currently in Japan and I recommend Odaiba.the Decks shopping mall has a huge play center and a floor that looks like old Japan and a Joypolis which has a bunch of interactive games and a huge 5-story moving robot and a bunch more stuff. We always booked the rooms with two beds and they were nice and reasonable cost. We stayed at one that is attached to the mall called Ariake Garden.

I have been to Tokyo twice since May, so have relatively current accommodation knowledge. Many airbnb’s have multiple beds, often on tatami. At least with an apartment and two small children, you could have breaks in more than just a hotel room.
