# Tokyo with kids: a day out

> A family day in Tokyo: a park, a tower and digital art. Morning in Ueno Park: Shinobazu Pond with its boats, Japan's oldest zoo and the museums. Then Tokyo Skytree, the world's tallest TV tower at 634 m, with decks at 350 and 450 m, and lunch. After lunch, teamLab Planets in Toyosu, where you walk barefoot through digital art rooms, sometimes knee-deep in water. Transfers take 26–36 minutes.

## Things to do in Tokyo with kids

Ueno is north of the centre, the Skytree is in Sumida and teamLab is in Toyosu by the bay. The Skytree and teamLab sell timed tickets — buy them online the day before.

Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, and add another one nearby — the times recalculate.

## Tickets

Ueno Zoo is 600 yen for adults and closed on Mondays. The Skytree is from 1,800 yen online for 350 m and from 3,000 for both decks; 500 yen more at the desk. teamLab Planets starts at 3,800 yen depending on the day. Child tickets are cheaper.

## Full-day parks

[Tokyo Disneyland](https://yesgo.io/japan/tokyo/tokyo-disneyland) is 15 minutes by JR from Tokyo Station, with dated tickets. [Odaiba](https://yesgo.io/japan/tokyo/odaiba) is an island in the bay with the Gundam statue and a beach. The [Ghibli Museum](https://yesgo.io/japan/tokyo/ghibli-museum) is by booking only.

## Tips

- Book the Skytree and teamLab online for a time slot the day before.
- Wear shorts or roll-up trousers for teamLab: some rooms are knee-deep in water.
- Keep quiet at temples and shrines and take your shoes off before entering halls; photos inside halls are often not allowed. There is no tipping in Japan.
- Japan uses the yen. Foreign cards work almost everywhere, but temples, markets and small cafés want cash. A Suica or PASMO card pays for trains, metro and shops by the station.
- Stations have lifts, but rush hour with a stroller is tough — travel after 9:30.
