I’m planning a trip to Tokyo with my sister and 12 year old daughter. My daughter is keen to go to Disney Sea and see all the Tokyo sights but I know she will need time to unwind in a quiet space after the sensory overload. Any tips for quiet suburbs to stay and/or tips for finding accomodation that has 2-3 bedrooms rather than just hotel rooms?

Ooh I stayed at a lovely Airbnb in a quiet neighborhood about a 10 minute walk from Ikebukuro! It’s quite far from Tokyo Disney, but definitely a quiet place and had two big (for Tokyo) bedrooms. Check out Airbnb and you should be able to find a lot!
You may want to checkout Mimaru Apartment Hotels. They have several properties in Tokyo. They are hotels but with apartment style accommodation.
All apartments will have a living room area. You can choose usual Western style hotel rooms or the Japanese tatami rooms. Some apartments may even have a small kitchen.
While I don’t have a specific place recommendation, from what I’ve seen, the difference between a booming touristy street and a quiet residential street is literally a block.
And generally speaking, outside of known entertainment areas and late night areas like izakaya streets, the rest of Japan is very, almost shockingly quiet, at night. A lot of the commercial places close by 5 or 6PM and the foot traffic (outside of those areas mentioned ahead) is very low.
My daughter also has sensory processing difficulties, and one thing that helps when we travel to places with a lot of people/noise is noise reducing ear buds. You can find them on Amazon pretty easily and they have kids sizes.
I have SPD and I travelled with my autistic sister. Japan is rather quiet and you can pretty easily find a cafe or something to relax. You can even rent a nap room for an hour like at a manga cafe. I think the big challenge is to intentionally take the time for breaks and not let yourself be distracted.
If you stay at the Disney Sheraton, they have lots of nice quiet areas where you can decompress. We took advantage of that a lot when we brought my daughter to Disney.
