Try checking out keio plaza and citidines but all fully book for the dates i am looking at. I am not sure if its still early and they only accept booking closer to the date.


Or should i start to worry about sourcing for the perfect hotel for us? Or it has to do with my setting? Finding room for 2A 2C is like finding needle in ocean

Unlikely to be fully booked so far out. Keio plaza is nice, has family room for 4 and is conveniently located near the train station. Good choice. I suspect it is because you entered 2A+2C. Why don't you email the hotel to check? If your kids are young, you may not need the family room and could do with a triple or even superior twin. Kids under 5 stay free here.

Thanks. Will check on the hotels again when nearer the date. Actually i prefer hotels so the room can be clean daily.


Not sure if disneyland will be crowded on 15/1? Want to go on that day. #2 birthday. If not will go on weekday instead

Disney is less crowded on weekdays. Weekends are very crowded.
You can email hotel now or when you are ready. My friend stays at Keio everytime she goes to Tokyo and she says the family room for 4 is very diff to get as there are very few. If you don't need such a big room, it'll be easier to get.

Miyajima is nice. Don't worry about the ryokans. Generally all very clean and very suitable for family because many can easily fit 4 to a room. We stayed at a rypkan with a seaview in Miyajima and could see the torii gate from our room.

I called the hotel. They ask me to call back tomorrow as reservation section is closed.
Please provide the dates for them to check.

DnIs_mum,

We stayed at Kinsuikan. A short walk from the ferry terminal. The ryokan can do transfers to the ferry terminal if you need. We had dinner and breakfast included in our package. If you want to take the night ferry to see the torii gate from the sea, the ryokan can arrange it too at same price as if you book direct. Advantage is the ryokan will send you to the ferry point and pick you up when you are done.
