- Tokyo at Chinzan-so:
Pain-in-the-... location for travel to-from-and-within Tokyo. (Taxi!)
Pool and garden.
- Tokyo at Marunouchi:
Super-convenient location for travel to-from-and-within Tokyo.
Shiny, new, urban sophisticate look about it.
For travel with younger children, I'd suggest the Chizan-so, because of the pool (Must be 4 years old to use pool). For older kids, the Marunouchi is probably more exciting, but it has a kind of "grown up" look to me.
If Tokyo is just a one or two-day stop in a larger tour of Japan, the Marunouchi is probably quite handy because it's right next to Tokyo station. If, however, you're planning to spend the whole time in Tokyo, then you could happily make the Chizan-so your base.
