October 1, 2011 - Tokyo with kids - July 2011 We spent a week in Tokyo last July with our 5 year old son and 8 year old daughter with daytrips to Kamakura and Hakone. It was particularly hot and humid so that was not the best time to be outside. There were noticeably less tourists considering it was only 3 months after the earthquake and tsunami.
Our family had an amazing time. The highlights for my kids were Tokyo DisneySea and Studio Ghibli Museum. The people were helpful, polite and friendly. We felt perfectly safe traveling with our kids. It was still such a beautiful country and we would love to go back and explore other parts of it.
This was our itinerary:
Day 1 (Sat.) - Imperial Palace and East Gardens/ Asakusa & Sensoji Temple
Day 2 (Sun.) - Shibuya/Harajuku/Meiji Shrine
Day 3 (Mon. ) - Studio Ghibli Museum/Akihabara in the afternoon
Day 4 (Tues.) - Kamakura day Trip
Day 5 (Wed.) - Tokyo Municipal Gov稚 Bldg/ Zojoji Temple/Tokyo Tower/Ginza District
Day 6(Thurs.) - Hakone day trip
Day 7 (Fri.) - Tokyo Disney Sea
Day 8 (Sat. ) - Odaiba/Sensoji Temple & more shopping at Asakusa
It was a busy week but we made the most of it and visited the main attractions we wanted to see. For a more detailed account of our trip, please visit our blog:
