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.  

We stayed at the Tokyo Hilton and Sheraton Miyako hotels.  They were wonderful family-friendly hotels with outstanding service and convenient locations.  We rode the subways and trains to go everywhere.  The JR Yamanote line was so convenient to see most of the Tokyo tourist attractions.

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’t 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:
