Looking for a spacious hotel in Tokyo where all 6 to 8 members of your group can stay together in the same room? Instead of splitting up into separate rooms at a typical hotel, many travelers prefer staying somewhere with a shared living space where everyone can enjoy meals and conversation together.
In this article, we introduce the benefits of apartment hotels for large groups and highlight recommended MIMARU properties in Tokyo. We also answer common questions about group stays, including bed arrangements, bathroom layouts, laundry facilities, and luggage delivery services.
How to Choose a Tokyo Hotel for Group of 6 to 8 Travelers
When choosing a hotel for a group of 6 to 8 travelers, two factors are essential: (1) enough space and beds for everyone to stay together, and (2) a shared dining space where everyone can enjoy meals and conversation together. Make sure the facilities suit the purpose of your trip.
When you book multiple smaller rooms for two or three guests each for a group trip, going back and forth between rooms can be inconvenient and can make it harder for everyone to spend time together. Choosing a hotel where 6 to 8 guests can stay together in the same space is key to a more comfortable and enjoyable group stay.
“Sufficient Space” and “Enough Beds” for Everyone to Relax Together
For groups of six or more, a spacious guest room and regular beds (instead of extra beds) or bunk beds are ideal.
Many hotels in Japan often have only a limited number of rooms designed for large groups, and adding extra beds can make the room feel even more cramped. To ensure a comfortable night’s sleep and enough space to move around, it’s important to choose a room designed specifically for large groups.
Whether the Room Has a Kitchen and Dining Space for Enjoying Meals and Conversation Together
A guest room with a large dining table and kitchen lets you share ready-to-eat dishes from a Tokyo department store food hall, commonly known in Japan as a depachika, or department store food hall, enjoy late-night conversations, and enjoy a stay at your group’s own pace.
A kitchen where you can do simple cooking and reheat food is especially convenient for families with young children and for groups with different food preferences.
Why We Recommend Apartment Hotels for Group Stays of 6 to 8
Unlike typical hotels, apartment hotels are designed for a stay that feels more like living in Tokyo. With spacious guest rooms and fully equipped kitchens and dining areas, they are ideal choices for group travel.
Although many travelers search for “serviced apartments,” the term usually refers to accommodations for medium- to long-term stays.
| Accommodation Type | Pros | Cons |
| Apartment Hotels (e.g., MIMARU) | Spacious rooms / Kitchen included / Laundry facilities available | Cleaning frequency may vary by hotel; fewer properties offer rooms for large groups |
| Typical Hotels | Daily cleaning / Full on-site facilities / Consistent service | Smaller rooms; no in-room cooking; not ideal for long-term stays |
| Vacation Rentals (e.g., Airbnb) | Local living experience / Wide selection / Potentially lower cost | Security standards may vary; no front desk; inconsistent cleaning standards |
