I have a whole detailed post on the Tokyo Disney Area with kids (this is mostly covering the immediate area outside of Tokyo Disneyland) but just a few minutes on the train from there is Shin-Urayasu Station and that station area.
As lots of the hotels near Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo Disneysea are here – I decided to write about the eateries and shopping in this area.
This is also the area I recommend travelling to if you are staying at a Disney hotel (official Disney hotel or just a hotel NEAR Disney in Tokyo) for clothes shopping or just more supermarket and restaurant options.

WHERE TO EAT BREAKFAST IN THE SHIN-URAYASU AREA WITH KIDS?
If breakfast isn’t included in your hotel or you just want to venture out for different options, I recommend first looking at Eggs’n’Things Shin-Urayasu for pancakes or egg dishes (as long as you can hold out until 10am, that is.) This restaurant is just outside the Shin-Urayasu Station ticket gates. This is a walk-in only restaurant (no reservations.) They accept most major credit cards here. The entire restaurant is non-smoking.

WHICH SUPERMARKETS ARE NEAR SHIN-URAYASU STATION?
My favourite supermarket brand Seijo Ishii is just 1 min from Shin-Urayasu Station. I like their ready made options and I also like how they have quite a few international products here. They also have a pretty decent cheese selection (for Japan.) This supermarket can be found on the ground floor of Atre department store (directly under the station.) Open 10am-10pm.
There is a very large supermarket on the ground floor of the Aeon Mall just behind the station.
It has an amazing fruit’n’veg section as well as premade bentos and deli section too.
The drink is an alcoholic peach flavoured chu-hai.
This supermarket also stocks diapers / nappies.
WHICH DRUGSTORES ARE NEAR SHIN-URAYASU STATION?
Kokumin is on the ground floor of Atre (just opposite the Shin-Urayasu Station ticket gates.)
Open 9am-7pm (opens at 10am on Sundays and National holidays.)
Drug Seims is 5 mins walk from Shin-Urayasu Station. They stock diapers here. Open 9am-10:45pm.
WHICH CONVENIENCE STORES ARE NEAR SHIN-URAYASU STATION?
There is a Family Mart on the ground floor of Atre (just opposite the Shin-Urayasu Station ticket gates.)
There is also a Lawson in the lobby of the Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay.
WHERE TO SHOP NEAR SHIN-URAYASU STATION?
There is a large Aeon Mall just 2-3 mins walk from Shin-Urayasu Station. This is a great place to grab dinner, gifts, clothing and even take advantage of the gigantic supermarket on the ground floor (also stocks nappies/diapers.)
The food court houses a Mos Burger, KFC, Subway, Mister Donut, Ikinari Steak Shop, Yoshinoya and other options including a bakery.
WHERE TO EAT LUNCH & DINNER WITH KIDS NEAR SHIN-URAYASU STATION?
In the Aeon mall next to the station is Japanese izakaya brand “Doma Doma” on the 4th floor. This izakaya welcomes children and even has space for you to store a stroller while you dine. This restaurant does take reservations. For lunch I would budget for 1000 yen per adult and for dinner? More like 3000 yen.
Like most izakaya in Japan, the idea is you order lots of small dishes and share and order more of what you like as you go.
Doma Doma accepts most major credit cards. They have an English menu. See pictures of the Doma Doma menu here.

Saizeriya is This family diner style Italian/Japanese fushion casual restaurant is a cult favourite with expats in Japan, uni students and young families. The meals here are sooooo reasonably priced (300-400 yen per plate of food.) It’s not the best quality food ever but if you think of it as the “McDonalds” of sit down Japanese-Italian food- youll love it.
The vibes here are super casual so it doesn’t require kids to stay still or be super quiet. See pictures of the Saizeriya menu here.

ARE THERE PLAYGROUNDS NEAR SHIN-URAYASU STATION?
There is also a small playground just 5 minutes walk away from Shin-Urayasu Station and 5 mins walk 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.
WHERE TO GO TO KARAOKE WITH KIDS IN THE SHIN-URAYASU AREA?
While it’s not as polished or have as many yummy food options as karaoke brands like Karaoke-kan or Big Echo, we had such a lovely few hours singing Karaoke at a karaoke place just under the station called “Karaoke Fantasy.” Being outside of the centre of Tokyo, I found it to be considerably cheaper than other brands. We didn’t make a reservation but we did go in before dinner. Like all karaoke box places, I ordered food and drinks from the little phone in our room – we got some soft drinks, wine and marshmallows .
The theming for the reception desk and the karaoke rooms is kind of shabby tiki-tiki chic (??!! haha.)
Just a little note from one parent to another – if kids go to the toilet while you’re there without you – make sure they memorize your karaoke room number as they all look the same from the outside.
