Best Theme Parks and Attractions in Tokyo

Tokyo Disneyland

In terms of entertainment for the kids and relative value for money, number one on our list has to be Tokyo Disneyland.

First opened in 1983, it’s been kept up-to-date by cycling in new rides and attractions. In our experience, Tokyo Disneyland is more fun for smaller kids, while it’s sister theme park, Disney Sea, is more geared for older kids and adults.

Tokyo Disneyland is made up of seven themed areas:

World Bazaar: a shopping arcade area where you can buy souvenirs.
Tomorrowland: technology and space-themed rides like Space Mountain and Star Tours.
Toontown: where you can meet your favorite Disney characters like Mickey and Minnie, a favorite with young kids.
Fantasyland: the home of iconic, classic Disney characters such as Cinderella, Snow White and Peter Pan.
Critter Country: home of the popular Splash Mountain ride, this area is one of the best areas for younger kids (3-8).
Westernland: themed on the US western frontier, this is home to Big Thunder Mountain and Tom Sawyer Island.
Adventureland: popular attractions include Pirates of the Caribbean and a jungle cruise.

Insider Tip: Get there early and get a FASTPASS for the most popular rides to avoid the crazy long lines!

Hours:
Open: 8:00 am / 9:00 am – 10:00 pm, Monday to Sunday*
* Tokyo Disneyland varies its opening times on different days, so be sure to check out the park’s calendar for opening times on your next visit.

Admission price:
One day passport tickets are 7,400 yen for adults, 6,700 yen for over 65s, 6,400 yen for 12 – 17 year olds, and 4,800 yen for under 11’s. Kids aged 3 and under, get in for free!

There are also other ticket options depending on when or how long you want to visit the park (see the website for details)

How to get there

To get there by train from Tokyo Station, take either the Keiyo Line or Musashino Line and get off at Maihama Station.

Tokyo Disney Sea

Like its older brother Tokyo Disneyland, this newer theme park is also located within Tokyo Disney Resort near Maihama station.

Disney Sea was designed to appeal to an older audience than Tokyo Disneyland, namely teenagers and adults. That said, there’s still plenty of fun for kids to be found in some of the themed ports. For example, in Mermaid Lagoon kids can experience the undersea world of the Little Mermaid and meet Ariel, Sebastien, Flounder and other characters from the movie. In Port Discovery young visitors can learn about marine life with the help of Nemo and Dory from Finding Nemo.

Legoland Discovery Centre Tokyo

Legoland Tokyo is located in Decks Mall, Odaiba and is the first Lego attraction in Japan. It features a number of attractions and rides including a 4D cinema, laser shooting cars and hands on activities like the build and race test. Everything is kid-sized so the different attractions can be enjoyed by kids between 3 and 13 (and of course us older ‘kids’ who still love lego!). Kids go crazy over Legoland’s Miniland, which is a miniature city made of 1.5 million bricks!

During your visit, you can also see how lego bricks are made firsthand through their factory tour. For the adventurous, Kingdom Quest is a fun thematic ride which families can enjoy. Finally, a Legoland tour would not be complete without the kids showing off their building skills in the Duplo Village.

There is a wealth of educational and fun attractions to enjoy in Legoland and a typical visit usually lasts 2-3 hours but guests are welcome to stay for as long as they like.

“Hello Kitty” AT Sanrio Puroland

At first glance, this one might seem a little bit expensive for what you get. However, your kids get to see Hello Kitty and friends performing a number of unique shows, plus you get a boat ride through the Sanrio Kingdom. Also it’s hard to argue that the experience isn’t uniquely Japanese!

Namja Town

*Unfortunately no English explanations inside

Namja Town is a Japanese-style theme attraction based on the adventures of a cat called Najavu. As a theme park sponsored by Namco, a highly recognised Japanese video game producer, expect a day filled playing interactive games. Most visitors who don’t speak Japanese might be left bewildered as to how the games are played but it’s also this uncertainty of the rules that makes the whole experience enjoyable for many.

Namja Town is also known for its array of authentic dumplings and ice cream. Guests can have their fill of food in the dumpling section where they can have a taste of different types of gyoza including one that is only available in Namja Town. The ice cream shop, where guests can choose from 30 flavors, is an obvious favorite of kids and adults alike. Souvenirs and other gifts can be bought from the mini-shopping mall located inside the park.

The games, dumplings, and ice cream make this attraction worthwhile (especially for those who don’t speak the language!) and the whole experience memorable.

Hours:

Open 10:00 am to 10:00 pm daily (last entrance at 9:00 pm), every day

Admission price:

Passport tickets cost 3,500 yen for adults and 2,800 yen for children. Passport ticket holders get to enjoy all Nanja games and attraction.

Tsukiji Market (*Moved: now Toyosu Market)

For Japanese food lovers, perhaps one interesting way to enjoy sushi and sashimi is through its source. Tsukiji Fish market is in every travel book in Japan and thus, a must-see. It was dubbed the “inner market” and was best known for its tuna auctions until October 2018 when it closed down. Now renamed to Toyosu Market and located in a different site, it still hosts many of the original shops and restaurants.

Tsukiji / Toyosu Fish MarketThe market is free to enjoy by tourists, however there are paid guided tours if you want to know more about the market and its history. To learn about art of sushi-making, you can take short workshops on this in one of the restaurants in the market.

 

Best Museums for Kids in Tokyo

The Science Museum

Best Places in Tokyo to Shop with Kids

things to do with kids in tokyo: shopping

Toy shops

Kiddyland in Harajuku  (http://www.kiddyland.co.jp/en/stores.html) and Hakuhinkan Toy Park (http://www.hakuhinkan.co.jp/guide_en.html) in Ginza are two of the best toy shops in Tokyo.  

Insider Tip:  If you miss the toy shops in Tokyo, Hakuhinkan have smaller shop locations at the major airports in Tokyo.

Fashion and Clothes Shops

Older kids who are into Japanese fashion will likely want to visit takeshita dori in Harajuku. It gets crowded on the weekends here, but there’s also more interesting fashions to photograph!

 

Electronics, Games and Collectables

Akihabara, Tokyo’s nexus for Otaku goods and electronics, should rank high on any must-visit list for kids who are into video games, collectables, anime or manga.

Odaiba

Odaiba can be a fun day trip – first a ride on the Yurikamome Monorail then the world’s largest Ferris wheel (Daikanransha in Japanese). It is open from 10:00am to 10:00pm and until 11:00 on Fridays, Saturdays and Japanese public holidays. The price is 900 yen per person (over 4 years of age). The Yurikamome monorail starts at Shimbashi Station (JR Yamanote Line).

Best Multi-Day Excursions from Tokyo with Kids

Hakone

About 100 kms away from the busy capitol stands Hakone, a beautiful countryside popular among local and international visitors. Mesmerizing views of nature along with contemporary museums would surely capture you and your kids’ hearts when you visit this truly unique Japanese destination.

Day trip from tokyo: HakoneWhen you go to Hakone, a dose of hiking should be a must in your itinerary. Marvel at the sight of greenery as you hike the trails of Japanese mountains. Don’t worry about where you’re heading. You can simply hop on and off train stations and you’d find yourself following a trail that could lead you to a surprising view of the mountains or picturesque trees. This activity is especially fun to do in autumn since the blend of fall colors is a spectacular view to behold.

Moto Hakone

Moto Hakone is the place to see if you are craving for a view of Mt. Fuji. Along with this famous mountain, the town also has access to another famous Japanese landmark, Lake Asinoko. For starters, the giant tori gate that leads to a picture-perfect view of Lake Ashinoko is instagram-worthy. From here, you and your kids can enjoy a boat cruise and marvel at the sight of Mt. Fuji for 1000 yen. Children-friendly themed boats (swan boats and pirate ships) can be perfect for a bit of pretend game with your little ones.

Hakone Onsens (Hot Spring)

You wouldn’t want to miss out on Hakone onsens or hot spring baths if you want some rest and relaxation time for the mind and body. However, don’t just walk in into one without check out if they are child-friendly as spring baths can become crowded with too many people (the Japanese go to Hakone specifically for their traditional onsens which are best enjoyed nude). Hakone Kowakien Yunessun has a bathing suit only area and has slides for children.

Hakone Open Air Museum

If you and your children are feeling a bit artsy, you can visit the Hakone Open Air Museum where many of the world’s highly renowned artists’ masterpieces are on display. It features over-sized, outdoor exhibits that everyone of all ages can enjoy. Your children would love the fascinating interactive sculptures, too, that allow them to “play” inside massive works of art. Every single one of the outdoor installation can be a great subject of photography. It also has a fish spa (can be child-friendly, too!) and a cafe so you can relax after. Hakone Open Air Museum is accessible via train (the station is just a short walk away from the museum).

Hakone Ropeway

A fun way to tour Hakone is through the Hakone Free Pass which is composed of 5 different forms of transport (rail, bus, boat, cable car, and ropeway). Get a glimpse of the mountainside by taking a cable car ride in Hakone Ropeway which is probably the best if you want to get a birds-eye-view of the region. Starting at 840 yen for adults and 420 yen for children, passengers can enjoy the view of mountains. This is not always available, though, depending on the current geothermal activity and visibility of the area. Remember, safety first!

 

Kyoto

No trip to Japan would be complete without a visit to the cultural capital of Kyoto.  Although the city is mostly known for its shrines and temple, recently there are more parks and museums popping up with a family focus.

Kyoto is safe to travel with children but when planning your multi-day excursion in Kyoto, it is important that you consider your child’s (or children’s) age. If you have younger children, it’s best to visit parks and museums with less crowd, which is plenty in Kyoto. For families with older children, you may opt to go for long walks or even places with more people.

Kyoto Railway Museum

Kyoto Railway Museum is definitely a hit for all little train fans. It is one of the best museums to see as it is loaded with different kinds of trains on display from early steam to local bullet trains. The whole place is massive so this is a delight for lovers of all things train. Make sure to allot half a day touring this place and put on comfortable shoes on for you will be doing a lot of walking.

Kyoto Imperial Palace and Park

The Kyoto Imperial Palace and Park has a lot of room for your kids to run around and play. The palace itself is a great subject of your family photos but it’s the park that might grab your children’s attention. As it is a popular tourist spot, make sure to be there before peak hours (10 am) so that you can take advantage of the extra space.

Kamo-gawa Riverside

Head on over to Kamo-gawa riverside if you want to enjoy a bit of a walk. There are so many places to stop by as as you walk. There are temples and shrines on your path so a great excursion for older kids. The river itself is spectacular to see. It can also be the perfect spot for a picnic after a tiring day of sight seeing.

Kyoto Botanical Garden

Aside from being huge with lots of space to walk around, Kyoto Botanical Garden will steal your hearts. The gardens are beautifully manicured. For kids, learning about each plant can be very academic, too! Different trees bloom in different months so if you want to see the Sakura’s or cherry blossoms, remember that they’re perfect in April.

If it’s your first trip to Japan, these 5 tips will save you a lot of headache!

1. Get a Tourist SIM.  

You can purchase a tourist SIM card at the airport or at one of the big electronics shops (Yamada Denki, BIC Camera).  Data-only SIMs sell for around 4000-7000 yen ($40-$70) for 3 to 10 GB.

2. Download a Trains App.  

We recommend downloading the Hyperdia app to search train routes, directions, and times on your phone in English.

3. Download the Tokyo Subway Map.  

Save this Tokyo Subway Map to your phone — you’ll need it! https://www.tokyometro.jp/en/subwaymap/

4. Purchase a Suica / PASMO.

Buy a PASMO or Suica payment card at the train station. You can use it to pay for trains (just beep in and out at the entry stalls) and even to pay for things at the convenience store. One idea is to load one up with 500 yen and give to your kid to buy (healthy!) snacks at the 7/11.

5. Visit Popular Attractions on Weekdays!  

Most amusement parks and family-friendly attractions tend to be extremely crowded on weekends and holidays, and aren’t recommended.  Visit during the day on weekdays instead to avoid the crowds.

Hi! If you can help me decide which area to book our hotel. Shinjuku or odaiba? Our 4 day trip will be the end of June with a 5 and 10 yr old girls. A full day to tokyo disney and Sanrio puroland is a must for us. Which area is better for us?

Odaiba is less busy than Shinjuku and a little more “kid friendly” with the large shopping areas. Shinjuku is probably more convenient though. Shinjuku station can be a little intimidating at first. You just need to check the exact exit you need to use to get to your destination. Shinjuku Park is worth visiting also. Enjoy!

the monkey park is terrifying for adults!

It’s very run down, but memorable. I’ll never forget my experience there, that’s for sure.
