ORIENTAL HOTEL TOKYO BAY (NEAR DISNEY)

As I mention in my Hotels near Tokyo Disney article, you don’t have to stay out near Tokyo Disney Resort if you don’t want to – as Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea is not that far from the city. But if you do and are interested in staying at the Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay with kids – here is my review and tips.

See here if you are having trouble deciding which Disney park in Tokyo is best for you (because it depends on what kinds of characters and attractions you like AND the age of your children.)

The Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay is connefcted to a station and a big shopping complex with shopping, restaurants and a supermarket. I have information on these great spots here.

Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay
Some rooms can accommodate as many as 6 people. Many of the rooms have leg massaging machines which is PERFECT after a day walking around Disney parks!

Our room at Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay. This room type is the family room on the “Standard Floor.” This is my smaller roller suitcase too. See here if you’d like to see the type of luggage I recommend bringing to Japan.

Pyjamas are provided for guests to use in-house. Can you see them stored in the bunk bed stairs here?

This room sleeps 6 (could do more if you have kids small enough to bed-share.)

This hotel has a coin laundry for guests to use. I say “coin” but these machines actually work by paying on your phone and scanning a code.
*A little note on coin laundries in hotels in Japan. The detergent is almost always built into the machine. If someone in your family has allergies to certain washing powders it is probably best to email in advance to find out what they use and what your options are. Oh.. and another note.. if the washer and dryer is built into one machine – the dryer setting really only works well for 1-2 items (big items like a pair of jeans and a long sleeved top, I mean) so don’t do what I do and just put in heaps of things to dry for longer – hoping that they will dry. It doesn’t work like that. Best to do little tiny drying sessions for the best drying results. It a lesson in patience but it will save you lots of coins in the long run

Bathtub at Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay. The tub is massive and I love how the toilet is separate.

Excuse the mess. My little guy is opening up his choice of toy from the 100 yen shop while at the Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay. In the top left you can see the leg massager in the room. Perfect for after a long day of walking.

Eating a supermarket sushi and caprese salad for dinner in the room (purchased at the Aeon Mall next to Shin-Urayasu Station.)
The drink is an alcoholic peach flavoured chu-hai.

They also have cribs/cots to put in the rooms for guests staying with babies (although it will be room type dependent.) Cribs/cots can only be used by babies younger than 12 months old.

There is a special sweets and drinks buffet for guests in the lobby on the night they check-in (a “Welcome Lobby”) – it includes make your own fairy floss (cotton candy.)

Unlimited Sparkling Wine and Beer for adults too.

This was while at Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay. There are so many Japanese families staying here. The vibes here are happy and relaxed.

Using our “restaurant toys” from the 100 yen shop. This is a stained glass sticker activity from my favourite brand of 100 yen shop “Seria.” I speak about the importance of packing/buying restaurant toys when dining out with kids here.

There is an Aeon Shopping Mall across the road too. I speak about this shopping mall – including restaurants, shops and what to look for in the supermarket here. There is also a Lawson*convenience store in the hotel lobby.

Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay has it’s own Lawson convenience store in the lobby

*While at Lawson (convenience store brand) …
These fried chicken options are LIFESAVERS (especially if you have picky eaters with you.)
This one pictured below is available at Lawson convenience stores – it is called “Karage-Kun” (pronounced “ka-ra-ge-kun”) and inside contains approx 6 pieces of Japanese fried chicken. Be sure to get the REGULAR flavour and the other option is a bit spicy and one of the other flavours sometimes available contains cheese. (see here for other Japanese convenience store tips and our favourite foods sold here in this blog post.)

The breakfast buffet is big and also very relaxed vibes (great for families.) My kids loved the donut station and they even had Kelloggs Cornflakes here! There is also an unlimited soda, juice and coffee vending machine. My little boy was also in heaven spotting chicken nuggets at the brekkie buffet. I loved that they had lots of salad options.

Sorry about my blurry photo ( I was hungry, k?!) Manned chef station at the Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay. This chef was making mini cheese burgers, omelettes and eggs benedict.

The breakfast restaurant at the **Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay**.

Lots of salads and noodle options too. You can also see my Japan Wireless pocket wifi box on the table here.

Not the most photogenic “flat lay” but it shows cheeseburgers, cornflakes, donuts, toast etc.

There is a “baby care room” just outside of the restaurant. It has a space to breastfeed and change a baby.

This is what is behind that red door. The baby care room with change table, sink and a place to breastfeed.

There is also a change table in the women’s bathroom in the hotel lobby.

We only ate here once as we didn’t want to waste time at the breakfast buffet and miss the opening of Tokyo Disneyland. (I write here about why it’s important to get there early for Tokyo Disney.)

This hotel also offers a babysitting service (please reserve in advance.)

This hotel has a complimentary shuttle to Tokyo Disney Resort.
Here is the Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay Disney Shuttle Timetable.

This happy face on the complimentary shuttle from the Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay to Tokyo Disneyland.

As you can see, the complimentary shuttle has space for some luggage and strollers.
With luggage, I wouldn’t rely on using coin lockers next to Tokyo Disneyland or Tokyo Disneysea – they fill up first thing in the morning. Best to have your hotel store your luggage and go back for it later. When going to Disneyland or Sea using this bus, I recommend lining up for one bus ahead of the time you want to go (especially in the morning.) That way, it’s not stressful if the bus is super busy or the bus line is too long to board at the time of your choice.

This is the bus stop outside Tokyo Disneyland to catch the bus back to the Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay.

The Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay is connected to Shin-Urayasu station. See my guide on the Shin-Urayasu Station area for the shopping and eatery options nearby.

There is also a small playground just 5 minutes walk away from Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay. It is also just 2 mins walk from Urayasu Brighton Hotel Tokyo Bay. This isn’t a spectacularly beautiful park but the small playground may save your morning if you have wriggly small children. The park is called Irifune Park. Please note that there aren’t any public bathrooms here (there are enough trees to take a child for a quick sneaky “picnic wee” if you had to though.

Irifune Park. Don’t worry – this sign simply says “No Smoking” and “No Littering”

There are also these upside down monkey bar things.

There is also this concrete mountain thing in the middle. My kids had to take off their shoes to get enough grip to get to the top and then enjoyed sliding down.

This is, of course, not the only family-friendly hotel in the Tokyo Disney area. See here to see my reviews on the other options nearby.
