Kid-Friendly Hotels in Toyama City: Crib Rentals by Toyama Station
City hotels set up for families cluster right outside the shinkansen stop at Toyama Station, a base for the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route and Toyama Bay
When you start looking for a family hotel in Toyama City, there are so many properties in front of the station that it is hard to tell which ones actually suit children. Toyama is about two hours from Tokyo on the Hokuriku Shinkansen and serves as a base for the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, Toyama Bay, and Kansui Park (reachable by streetcar), so nearly every family stays near the station and travels out from there.
All 9 hotels listed here are within a 10-minute walk of Toyama Station, and 4 of them offer crib rentals. DoubleTree by Hilton Toyama, a three-minute walk from the station, lets young children share their parents' bed at no extra charge and lends baby gear free of charge, while ANA Crowne Plaza Toyama, facing Toyama Castle Park, offers free crib rentals and connecting rooms that work well for families. Toyama Excel Hotel Tokyu allows up to two children to share a bed and provides cribs free of charge, and Oaks Canal Park Hotel Toyama also has cribs available. Hotel Prime Inn Toyama has rooms with bunk beds plus free breakfast, Toyama Manten Hotel has Japanese-Western rooms sleeping up to five, and Toyama Chitetsu Hotel is directly connected to the station with free breakfast for children aged 3 and under.
Most hotels near the station do not have a large communal bath or hot spring, so if soaking in an onsen matters to you, plan on pairing your stay with a property outside the city. Bed-sharing limits, fees, and the number of cribs available are best confirmed on each hotel's official website (information current as of 2026) before you book.

Travel tips
Within Toyama City, the streetcar (the local tram line) reaches Kansui Park and Toyama Castle Park in just a few minutes. For the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, take the Dentetsu Toyama line from Toyama Station to Tateyama Station in about an hour, then transfer to a cable car and bus, so plan around nap times if you have little ones. Toyama Bay sushi and shiroebi (tiny white shrimp) are served at restaurants in the city, and many of them have seating suited to children. Snow piles up in winter, so pack proper shoes and warm layers.
Best season
The season is set by what you want to see on the Alpine Route: the Yuki-no-Otani snow corridor at Tateyama in spring, the highlands in summer, and fall foliage in autumn. The city itself stays easy to get around by streetcar even in winter, but snowfall means outdoor spots such as Family Park are better from spring through fall.
Getting there
About 2 hours 10 minutes from Tokyo Station to Toyama Station on the Hokuriku Shinkansen. About 25 minutes by bus from Toyama Kitokito Airport to Toyama Station. By car, about 15 minutes from the Toyama IC to the city center.
