TAKAONE ACTIVITY＆STAY
Garden, fireplace and an indoor play area
About this hotel
TAKAONE ACTIVITY&STAY builds its family rooms around private bathrooms, air-conditioning and free WiFi, standard essentials, but backs them with a genuinely distinctive amenity list: a garden, terrace, restaurant, outdoor fireplace, indoor play area, coffee shop and picnic area. Private check-in and check-out ease arrival with kids and luggage in tow, and the indoor play area gives younger children somewhere to burn energy on a rainy day or the morning after a heavy water park session. Set in Hachioji, it reaches the wider hotel corridor easily while offering something none of the chain hotels nearby can match: a property designed for a family to actually spend an afternoon on-site rather than just sleep and leave.
- Indoor play area
- Garden
- Outdoor fireplace
- On-site restaurant
Our take
This suits a family with young kids who wants on-site activities, the indoor play area and garden, rather than a hotel that's purely a base for sleeping between water park days. Its strong rating from a healthy review base backs up the appeal, though families wanting a big hotel restaurant menu should check availability first.
- ✓Use the indoor play area as a rainy-day or rest-day backup for younger kids.
- ✓Book the outdoor fireplace evening if travelling in cooler months for a cosy wind-down.
- ✓Reserve early for school holidays; family-oriented stays like this sell out fast.

Why guests love itOur youngest was too small for a full day at Tokyo Summerland, so the indoor play area here became the actual saving grace of the trip, somewhere to burn energy that wasn't a hotel room. The outdoor fireplace one evening turned into the highlight of the whole stay, toasting marshmallows with two kids who were finally warm and dry after a soaked, exhausting day at the pools.
