Hi,

Plan to visit Tokyo, Osaka and Koyto from 1/12/2015 to 13/12/2015.
Any recommendation for accommodation in Tokyo and Osaka for 2A and 2C?

Hello, we (2A1C) like these hotels:
Tokyo
Hotel Ryumeikan Tokyo
Near Tokyo Station (about 5-7 minutes' walk at 6-year-old's pace)
Convenience shop (Family Mart) nearby
Tokyo Station itself has a Daimaru with lovely food hall
Rooms have Nespresso machine and yummy snacks

Keio Plaza
Established hotel about 7-10 minutes' walk (6-year-old's pace) from Shinjuku Station
Rooms are pretty decent
Osaka
Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka
Practically next to JR Namba station
OCAT terminal is next door to the hotel (OCAT = Osaka City Air Terminal which is a bus terminal for the Airport Limousine Bus Services for Kansai and Itami airports)
There's a shopping centre with a supermarket next to the hotel
Hotel has a stone chapel inside (recreation of an English chapel)

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply. Can share your itinerary with me?

During our last trip to Japan in June, we stayed at

Hotel Metropolitan Tokyo, which is next to Ikebukuro Station
Hotel Granvia Osaka, which is just above the Osaka Station, entrance to hotel within the station. This hotel has family rooms for 4 people.

Does anyone has experience traveling via Shinkansen from tokyo to Osaka? What’s the most economical type of tickets to buy? I intend to stay in Osaka for a few days and travel to Kyoto and Nara as a day trip, what kind of traveling options anyone can recommend? Thanks in advance.
