Tokyo Tower with Kids – Tokyo Must Do – 1st Stop on Tokyo One Day
A great one day Tokyo itinerary with Kids is Tokyo Tower (9:00 -11:00), walk through Zozoji on your way to Hamarikyu Gardens (10:30-12:00), take the boat to Asakusa for lunch and to visit Sensoji (13:00 – 17:00) and then home. If you are on the go early, try a quick breakfast at one of my favourite nearby spots Le Pain Quotidian in Shibakoen open everyday 7:30, or Maison Landemaine Tokyo, Roppongi open M-F 7:00 or S/S 9:00; both shops are about a 5-8 min walk from Tokyo Tower.

Tokyo One Day Itinerary: The Akasaka Area with Kids
When we came for our look-see, Akasaka was our main focus. I had lived in Akasaka before from 2000-2003 and we stayed in a hotel in Akasaka during our honeymoon in 2009. We loved the busyness of the nightlife and the numerous little intimate restaurants and bars. It probably was not the most kid-friendly neighbourhood we thought, but we had found a big 2-story house there and we were fine with having to travel to playgrounds and such. But boy, were we wrong. Akasaka turned out to be very kid-friendly and is a great neighbourhood to live in.
