Hotel 1. ANDON RYOKAN (JAPANESE STYLE INN)

You would be amazed of what they did in such a small area The architects of the Andon ryokan were inspired by the traditional Japanese Ariake andon a type of lantern that used to be every travelers companion in the darkness of night in strikingly. From 6,300 to 8,190 yen P/P Recommended for Backpackers / Under bugdget / Family with big children, but I have seen couples with babies. Please contact the Hotel if you are bringing a baby. - No changing tables in the washrooms - English Speakers - If you appreciate good architectural design, this might be a place that is worth to visit. The designers made use of the minimum space they have to design this modern ryokan. The Ryokan is all decorated with antique from the Edo to the Showa period. - The rooms are so small that you put the futons and you wont have more room. - The rooms don't have their own washroom. They have separate washrooms for female and male. The bathtub is a Japanese style community bathtub. Clean. - They also have a couple of computers in a common area where you can use internet. - They offer a tea ceremony on the first, third and fourth Thursday of every month (500 yen for guest) from 6:30 to 7:30 PM - Origami (Paper folding) classes every second Thursday each month from 7pm to 8pm. - Breakfast menu (from 7am. to 10am.) available for 300 to 500yen.

Hotel 2- Sheraton Grande, Tokyo Bay

 * Location**: Tokyo Bay, right next to Disneyland and DisneySea. 20 minutes by JR (Japan Rail) to Tokyo station.
 * Contact**: +
 * Description**: Large scale hotel on the water, on a strip of about 8 other large hotels. Part of the Disney partner hotels, I booked directly on their website.
 * Price** (approx): 15,200 Yen + (depending on time of year and choice of room)
 * Kid Friendly Features:** 2 dbl beds in standard rooms, very uncommon for Tokyo hotels unless paying in excess of 300,000. Beds/pillows as good as we've had anywhere in Asia. Disneyland monorail within 3 minutes walk from hotel. Kids could watch the fireworks each night form our balcony and see the Disney castle! Buffet breakfast is excellent. Highly recommend if travelling with kids, we stayed 4 nights and went to Disney on the 3rd day, was convenient to access the city and super easy for our day at Disneyland.
 * Other Details:** Worthwhile getting a JR pass if not a Japanese passport holder. Transport to closest JR station is free on a shuttle on weekends, weekdays we needed to catch a taxi (1000 yen/10 USD) from hotle to station or catch the disney monorail (260 yen for adults). Had a pool and kids club but didn't use either. Hotel is on a strip of other hotels/resorts but around the JR station (Maihama) there is a big shopping centre and heaps and heaps of restaurant options, ranging from cheap to really expensive.
