Kids Wonderland Tent

Young guests ages 3-5 receive their very own indoor tent with an array of toys. Let the little ones camp out in style and watch as they create a fantasyland of their own, filled with characters and stories from their imagination. Here is playtime at its best – a way to keep busy while also nurturing creativity. The Kids Tent is complimentary for guests in Four Seasons Suites and upwards.

Four Seasons Kids Academy

This experiential learning program combines career education with tons of fun. Four Seasons Kids Academy takes kids behind the scenes of hotel life with interactive activities led by the team. As they learn about various areas of hospitality, from Food and Beverage to Housekeeping, kids will have the chance to learn skills like team work, independence and communication.

Babysitting Services

Four Seasons babysitting services allow parents to enjoy some grown-up time with their minds at ease. While the little ones are well looked after by trained childcare providers, unwind with a spa treatment, savour a romantic dinner for two, or set off on a solo adventure.

Summer Festivals

As summer flowers begin to bloom and residents don their summer kimonos (known as yukata), Tokyo is filled with life and colour, providing a vibrant backdrop for local festivals. Families can join a variety of seasonal celebrations, including temple festivals and fireworks displays. An assemblage of multisensory delights await: rejoice in spirited music-and-dance performances, taste customary Japanese snacks, and uncover local legend and lore.

The Star Festival (Tanabata) in July celebrates the once-a-year reunion of Orihime and Hikoboshi, two stars that fell in love and were separated by the Milky Way. Vivid decorations, parades and dances come together to create a fantastic festive atmosphere. In August, the Bon Festival Dance (Bon Odori) features folk performances to honour the ancestral spirits. Visitors can watch as yakuta-clad dancers gracefully circle a raised stage, festooned with bright lanterns. The city also hosts smaller local celebrations where portable shrines are paraded around neighbourhoods by different “teams.”

Tokyo for Kids

Besides summer festivities, families will find plenty of kid-friendly attractions across and around Tokyo. At the interactive city of KidZania, little ones can do everything from flying planes to directing radio programs through a range of engaging role-play games. Tokyo Dome, meanwhile, offers an amusement park for all ages, complete with bowling alleys, high-tech arcades, rollercoasters and an interactive space museum. It is also home to the city’s famed baseball stadium, where the Tokyo Giants play.

At Summerland, one of Tokyo’s largest water theme parks, families can make a splash with tidal wave lagoon pools, water slides and more. For those who prefer not to get into the water, there are lots of thrilling rides available at the adjacent theme park; think rollercoasters, Ferris wheels and merry-go-rounds.
