Itinerary check – 7 nights in Tokyo for family of 5

Hi everyone,

This is our very first trip to Japan and we have 3 young kids in tow – 7yo, 5yo and 1.5yo.

We will be there in September for 18 nights:
– 8 nights in Tokyo
– 3 nights in Kanazawa
– 3 nights in Kyoto
– 4 nights in Osaka

I would like your advice/input on my proposed itinerary for the Tokyo leg.

Day 1 – Saturday
Arrive from Haneda in the afternoon, check in Mimaru Asakusa, explore Asakusa in the evening.

Day 2 – Sunday – Odaiba – Asakusa – Skytree
9.30 – 11.30 Teamlab Planets
11.30 – 14.00 Lunch and explore somewhere near Odaiba Seaside Park
14.00 onwards – Rivercruise back to Asakusa
15.00 onwards – Sumida River Walk across to Tokyo Skytree
16.00 onwards – Hang out at the observatory to watch sunset, then dinner at Solamachi Mise

Day 3 – Monday
Exploring Asakusa, Senso-ji

Day 4 – Tuesday
Dedicated to Disneyland, hopefully I'll get a booking for Bibbidi Bobbidi to surprise my 5yo daughter

Day 5 – Wednesday
Tsukiji and Ginza area, planning to go to the Pokemon Centre

Day 6 – Thursday
Meiji Jingu, Shibuya, Harajuku

Day 7 – Friday
Yokohama day trip, planning to check out Manyo Club so we can all have a bath together in a private room after checking out the Cup Noodle Museum and Cosmo world

Day 8 – Saturday
Odaiba again because we couldn't cover it on Day 2
Miraikan, then Toyosu market, I've got Yanaka Ginza in my radar as well for the afternoon

Day 9 – Sunday
Head to Kanazawa

I would appreciate your feedback, especially on Day 2, let me know if I am squeezing in too much. The other days I am keeping it fairly cruisy because of the kids.

Thank you in advance!
