We are sharing our Best Living Japan moms favorite Tokyo cool locations with kids. The Japan rainy season is now over, and heat is cranking up, so it is hot, hot, hot. It is easy to get heat stroke and sunburn in Japan so please be prepared with plenty of water, hats, and sunscreen. Extra care with little ones who can not express how hot they may be, especially if you a stroller or baby carrier. Here are also some products to keep the kids cool when out and about.

- Sunshine Aquarium (Ikebukuro) – Combine a visit to the Aquarium, Pokemon center and shopping at the Sunshine building mall (some great stores including KiddyLand toys, the LOFT and plenty of adult and kids clothing stores). Car parking available in the basement. For other Tokyo area aquariums check here.
2. Visit a Cool Art Museum – We update this list 4-5 a year to reflect the exhibits in Tokyo we are excited to visit with the kids.
3. Adventure Sports – Our kids love the thrill nights, speed and flying. Check out these great adventure sports locations in the Kanto area. We can assure “risk taking” for all ages. We recommend the indoor activities when crazy hot outside!
4. Tokyo Science Museum – Located right next to the Imperial Palace this makes for a great cool rest stop and learning experience for a few hours. For all Tokyo area science and tech museums check here.
5. A Day in Odaiba – Plenty of Indoor Locations to have fun and stay cool! Take the boat there for an extra cool treat, or ride your bikes.
Shopping, Legoland, Miraikan and more.
