Tokyo

Edited by the ErBiage editors

TL;DR

Plan a family trip to Tokyo. What to do with kids, best time to visit, where to stay, and family tips from ErBiage.

Tokyo is the world's easiest hard destination. A city of 37 million people that feels safer, cleaner, and more considered than any capital in the West. Trains run on time to the minute. Vending machines dispense hot corn soup at midnight. And it is stealthily one of the best family destinations on earth: kids adore the theme parks (Tokyo Disney and DisneySea are widely considered the best in the world), the food is a nine-year-old's dream (ramen, tempura, gyoza, taiyaki, everything on a stick), and the culture of quiet public behaviour turns even a long train ride into a peaceful outing. Base in Shinjuku, Shibuya, or Asakusa. First-timers should give Tokyo four full days: Asakusa + Senso-ji + Skytree, Shibuya crossing + Meiji Shrine + Harajuku, one theme-park day, one museum day (teamLab Planets is a life memory), plus a dinner in a tiny yakitori alley in Omoide Yokocho. Add a Shinkansen day trip to Hakone or Kamakura for balance.
