Choose the Room Category That Fits Your Group
The capacities above apply to the named room categories. Enter every guest and each child’s age when searching, then check the property’s occupancy and bed-sharing rules. A room listed for two guests should not automatically be assumed suitable for a family of four.
For a kitchenette at Tokyu Stay Takanawa, look for Residential. At Tokyu Stay Tsukiji, choose Residential Double or Superior Twin.
Check the property name: The Shibuya hotel in this guide is Tokyu Stay Shibuya near Shinsen, not Tokyu Stay Shibuya Shin-minamiguchi or Tokyu Stay Shibuya Ebisu.
Does “In-Room Laundry” Include a Dryer?
A washer-dryer washes and dries clothes in one machine. A washing machine alone does not necessarily provide a drying cycle, and “in-suite laundry” does not specify the equipment.
If you need clothes dry before your next train journey, confirm the drying function for your exact room before booking. Follow the machine’s instructions and check its drying-load limit, which may differ from its washing-load limit.
Room details checked October 24, 2026. Room names, facilities and occupancy rules can change. Confirm the exact room description for your travel dates.
Why Choose a Tokyo Hotel with an In-Room Washer & Dryer?
Pack Less
Being able to wash clothes every few days means you can travel around Japan with a smaller suitcase instead of packing an outfit for every day of a long trip.
Much Easier with Children
Families often generate laundry quickly. Having a washer and dryer inside the room lets you deal with spills, wet clothes and everyday laundry without leaving the children or waiting beside a communal machine.
Useful for Multi-City Train Trips
If Tokyo is one stop on a longer train itinerary, doing laundry before moving on to Kyoto, Osaka, Hokkaido or Kyushu can dramatically reduce the amount of clothing you need to carry.
No Waiting for Shared Machines
Coin laundries inside Japanese hotels can become busy in the evening. An in-room machine lets you run laundry according to your own schedule.
Especially Useful for 7+ Day Japan Trips
Even if you stay at one of these hotels for only two or three nights, doing laundry midway through your trip can make the rest of your Japan journey much easier.
Traveling to Tokyo with Kids?
In-room laundry becomes even more useful when traveling with children, especially on longer Japan trips where packing fewer clothes can make train travel considerably easier.
See our Tokyo with Kids guide →
If having a full kitchen is just as important as laundry, also compare our apartment-style hotels around Tokyo Station.
Map of 5 Tokyo Hotels with In-Room Washer & Dryer
Wondering where to stay in Tokyo if you want the convenience of an in-room washing machine and dryer? Use our interactive map to compare five recommended hotels across Shibuya, Takanawa, Tsukiji, Kuramae, and Shintomicho.
The numbered red markers (1–5) identify the recommended hotels, while the blue train icons highlight nearby railway and subway stations. Click any marker to see its name and location.
Map tip: These five hotels are spread across different Tokyo neighborhoods rather than clustered around one major station. Consider which JR or subway lines you’ll use most often, especially if you plan to travel with luggage or take day trips. Check station exits and walking directions before choosing your accommodation.
1. Tokyu Stay Takanawa — Best for Airport and Train Connections
Tokyu Stay Takanawa is one of our favorite practical Tokyo hotels for travelers arriving through Haneda Airport or continuing around Japan by train.
The hotel is close to both Sengakuji Station and Takanawa Gateway Station, giving you access to the Keikyu Line, Toei Asakusa Line, JR Yamanote Line and JR Keihin-Tohoku Line.
Why We Like It
- Washer/dryer in every guest room
- Microwave in every guest room
- Kitchenette available in selected room types
- 1-minute walk from Sengakuji Station
- About 5 minutes on foot from Takanawa Gateway Station
- Convenient access toward Haneda Airport
- Easy connections toward Shinagawa and the Shinkansen
Best for Rail Travelers
If Tokyo is the beginning or end of a longer Japan train itinerary, Takanawa is a very practical location. You can do your laundry before continuing to another city and reach the Shinagawa area easily for long-distance rail travel.
Rooms and In-Room Laundry at Tokyu Stay Takanawa
Washer/Dryer
Every guest room currently includes its own washer/dryer, so you do not have to share a hotel laundry room or wait for another guest’s washing cycle to finish.
Microwave and Kitchen Facilities
Rooms also include a microwave and refrigerator. Some room types have additional kitchenette facilities with an electric cooker, so check the exact room description if you want to prepare meals.
Getting There
Sengakuji Station: approximately 1 minute on foot from Exit A2.
Takanawa Gateway Station: approximately 5 minutes on foot.
Who Should Choose Tokyu Stay Takanawa?
This is our pick for travelers who prioritize transportation convenience, airport access and practical facilities over staying in the middle of a major nightlife or entertainment district.
For families who want more space and a full kitchenette, compare the exact room configuration carefully before booking.

2. Tokyu Stay Shibuya — Best for Central Tokyo and Longer Stays
Tokyu Stay Shibuya combines one of Tokyo’s most convenient sightseeing locations with apartment-style facilities that are unusually useful for longer stays.
Unlike many compact Shibuya hotels, its current room types include an in-room washer/dryer, kitchenette and microwave, making it especially attractive for families and travelers staying several nights.
Why We Like It
- Washer/dryer in the guest rooms
- Kitchenette and microwave in current room types
- Family rooms accommodating up to 4 or 6 guests
- Walking distance from Shibuya Station
- Only 3 minutes from Shinsen Station
- Excellent location for Shibuya, Harajuku and western Tokyo
Our Pick for a Longer Shibuya Stay
If you want to stay in one of Tokyo’s busiest sightseeing areas without giving up laundry and basic cooking facilities, Tokyu Stay Shibuya is one of the strongest options on this list.
Rooms and In-Room Laundry at Tokyu Stay Shibuya
Couples and Smaller Families
Current room choices include Standard Double, Superior Double, Superior Twin and Deluxe Twin rooms.
The current listed room types include a washer/dryer, kitchenette and microwave, allowing you to do laundry and prepare simple meals without leaving your room.
Residential Family Rooms
Families needing more space should look at the Residential Family categories.
The standard Residential Family room is approximately 40 m² and accommodates up to four people, while the bunk-bed version is approximately 47 m² and can accommodate up to six.
Both currently include a washer/dryer, kitchenette, microwave and separate bathroom and toilet.
Check Which “Tokyu Stay Shibuya” You Book
Tokyo has several Tokyu Stay properties with “Shibuya” in their names. This recommendation is specifically for Tokyu Stay Shibuya in Shinsen, not Tokyu Stay Shibuya Shin-minamiguchi or another nearby property.
Tokyu Stay Shibuya Location
Shinsen Station: approximately 3 minutes on foot from the south exit.
Tokyo Metro Shibuya Station: approximately 8 minutes on foot from Exit A0.
JR Shibuya Station: approximately 10 minutes on foot from the west exit.
One Trade-Off: It Isn’t Directly Beside Shibuya Station
The hotel is within walking distance of Shibuya, but it is not directly above the station. Travelers with several large suitcases may find the walk less convenient than a station-adjacent hotel.
The advantage is a somewhat quieter location while still being close enough to enjoy Shibuya’s restaurants, shopping and nightlife.

3. Tokyu Stay Tsukiji — Best for Food Lovers and Ginza Access
Tokyu Stay Tsukiji is an especially convenient choice for travelers who want in-room laundry while staying close to Tsukiji, Ginza and central Tokyo.
The hotel sits immediately beside the Tsukiji Outer Market, making it easy to explore the area’s seafood restaurants and food stalls early in the morning before many day visitors arrive.
Why We Like It
- Washer/dryer in every current room type
- Microwave in every current room type
- Kitchenette available in selected rooms
- Steps from Tsukiji Outer Market
- About 4 minutes from Tsukiji Station
- Walking distance to Ginza
- Several subway lines available nearby
Best for Travelers Who Love Food
Staying directly beside Tsukiji makes it easy to visit the market early, return to your room for a break and continue toward Ginza or another part of Tokyo later in the day.
Rooms and In-Room Laundry at Tokyu Stay Tsukiji
Moderate Room
The current Moderate room is approximately 15 m² and accommodates up to two guests. It includes an in-room washer/dryer and microwave but does not have a kitchenette.
Residential Double
The Residential Double is approximately 18 m² and accommodates up to two guests. It currently includes a washer/dryer, kitchenette and microwave.
Superior Twin
At approximately 26 m², the Superior Twin offers more space for two travelers and currently includes a washer/dryer, kitchenette and microwave.
Our Room Pick for Longer Stays
If you want both laundry and basic cooking facilities, choose the Residential Double or Superior Twin rather than the smaller Moderate room.
Tokyu Stay Tsukiji Location
Tsukiji Station: approximately 4 minutes on foot from Exit 1.
Tsukijishijo Station: approximately 4 minutes on foot from Exit A1.
Higashi-ginza Station: approximately 5 minutes on foot.
Ginza: approximately 10 minutes on foot.
Who Should Choose Tokyu Stay Tsukiji?
This is a particularly good choice for couples, food-focused travelers and longer stays where you want laundry facilities without sacrificing a central Tokyo location.
Larger families may prefer one of the apartment-style hotels later in this list because most rooms here are designed primarily for two guests.

4. Section L Kuramae-Asakusa — Best Apartment-Style Stay for Families
Section L Kuramae-Asakusa is a strong alternative to a conventional hotel for families and longer-stay travelers who want more living space, in-suite laundry and a proper kitchen.
Kuramae is close to Asakusa but generally feels quieter and more residential, with independent cafés, craft shops and easy walks toward the Sumida River.
Why We Like It
- In-suite laundry
- Equipped kitchens
- Apartment-style rooms
- Family accommodation for up to five guests
- More floor space than many standard Tokyo hotels
- About 5 minutes from Kuramae Station
- About 5 minutes from Asakusa Station
- 24-hour bilingual staff
Laundry note: The property confirms in-suite laundry, but its official listing does not explicitly specify a drying function. If machine drying is essential for your stay, confirm this directly with the property before booking.
Best for Families Who Need More Than a Hotel Room
The combination of laundry, kitchen facilities, dining space and larger rooms makes Section L particularly attractive for families staying in Tokyo for several nights.
Rooms at Section L Kuramae-Asakusa
Executive Family Studio Apartment
This approximately 38 m² apartment currently accommodates up to five guests, making it one of the roomiest family options on this list.
The open-plan layout gives families useful living and dining space in addition to sleeping areas.
Deluxe Studio Apartment
The approximately 31 m² Deluxe Studio Apartment accommodates up to four guests and provides an apartment-style layout with space for relaxing, dining and planning the next day’s sightseeing.
Why the Kitchen Matters
A proper kitchen can be surprisingly useful for families, whether you want to prepare breakfast, store groceries, reheat children’s meals or simply take a break from eating every meal in a restaurant.
Section L Kuramae-Asakusa Location
Kuramae Station: approximately 5 minutes on foot.
Asakusa Station: approximately 5 minutes on foot.
Tawaramachi Station: approximately 8 minutes on foot.
Good Location Without Staying in the Busiest Part of Tokyo
Kuramae is particularly appealing if you want easy access to Asakusa, Ueno and eastern Tokyo but prefer a quieter neighborhood to Shibuya or Shinjuku.
The trade-off is that travelers taking frequent Shinkansen journeys will need to connect to a major JR station rather than having long-distance trains immediately outside the hotel.
Check Section L Kuramae-Asakusa Rates
5. MONday Apart Premium GINZA SHINTOMICHO — Best for Families and Longer Stays
MONday Apart Premium GINZA SHINTOMICHO is designed more like an apartment than a conventional Tokyo hotel room, making it particularly useful for families and travelers staying several nights.

Why We Like It
- In-room washer with dryer
- Full kitchen with induction cooktop
- Large refrigerator and microwave
- Rice cooker, cookware and tableware
- Family rooms accommodating up to 5 guests
- 1-minute walk from Shintomicho Station
- About 5 minutes from Tsukiji Station

Our Pick for Families Who Want to Cook
If having both laundry and a genuinely useful kitchen matters to your family, this is one of the strongest options in this guide.

Japanese-Style Family Rooms

These can work especially well for families who want more floor space and a flexible sleeping arrangement.
Good Choice for Families of Five

MONday Apart Premium GINZA SHINTOMICHO Location
Shintomicho Station: approximately 1 minute on foot from Exit 7.
Tsukiji Station: approximately 5 minutes on foot.
Hatchobori Station: approximately 6 minutes on foot, with access to the JR Keiyo and Musashino lines as well as Tokyo Metro.
One Important Detail for Strollers and Luggage
The closest Shintomicho exit listed for the hotel is Exit 7, but the property’s nearest elevator-accessible exit is Exit 1. Families using strollers or travelers with large luggage may find the elevator route easier even if it involves a slightly longer walk.

Our Overall Picks

Booking Tips for Tokyo Hotels with In-Room Laundry
- Check the exact room category before booking. Hotel facilities can vary even within the same property.
- Look for the words washer/dryer or washing machine with dryer, not simply “laundry available.”
- If you need a kitchen, confirm the room has a cooktop and cookware rather than only a microwave.
- Families should check the maximum room occupancy carefully. Japanese hotels often enforce occupancy limits strictly.
- Compare room size as well as price. A few extra square meters can make a substantial difference when staying with children and luggage.
- Check station accessibility if traveling with strollers or large suitcases. The nearest station exit is not always the one with an elevator.
- For a longer Japan trip, consider scheduling a hotel with in-room laundry around the middle of your itinerary.
Future Hotel Prices Will Vary
Tokyo hotel rates change significantly by travel date, season and room type. Rather than choosing purely by a fixed nightly price, compare the total cost for your dates and the facilities included in the exact room.

Tokyo Hotels with In-Room Washer & Dryer FAQ
Do Tokyo hotels commonly have washing machines inside the room?
No. Many hotels have shared coin-operated laundry rooms, but in-room washer/dryers are much less common. Extended-stay and apartment-style properties are among the best places to find them.
Do these rooms have separate dryers?
Many Japanese hotels use combination washer/dryer machines rather than separate appliances. Drying can take longer than a dedicated tumble dryer, so avoid starting a large load immediately before checkout.
Which hotel is best for a family of five?
MONday Apart Premium GINZA SHINTOMICHO currently offers larger Japanese-style rooms accommodating up to five guests. Section L Kuramae-Asakusa also has family accommodation for up to five.
Which hotel is best near Shibuya?
Tokyu Stay Shibuya is our choice for travelers who want to stay near Shibuya while still having an in-room washer/dryer and kitchenette.
Which hotel is best near Tsukiji and Ginza?
Tokyu Stay Tsukiji is excellent for couples and smaller families, while MONday Apart Premium GINZA SHINTOMICHO provides considerably more apartment-style facilities for larger families.
Is an in-room washer/dryer worth paying extra for?
For a short two- or three-night trip, perhaps not. For families or travelers spending a week or longer in Japan, being able to pack less and wash clothes whenever needed can be extremely useful.
Are these hotels convenient for train travel?
Yes, although their strengths differ. Tokyu Stay Takanawa is particularly useful for major rail and airport connections, while the Shibuya, Tsukiji, Kuramae and Shintomicho properties are better positioned for different parts of Tokyo sightseeing.
