Trip Overview

Call this your crowd‑aware 1 day blueprint for rainy day Tokyo kids. Mornings are crisp; afternoons suit slow garden walks under blossom canopies. We rotate districts, vary tempos, and weave in food stops that keep spirits high. We’ll keep detours in pocket: a café with modern roastery flair and a calm shrine when crowds swell. You’ll start at 10:00 with teamlab planets interactive digital art museum in TeamLab Planets, Toyosu. Booking: Book 2-3 weeks ahead, especially weekends. Tip: Morning slots less crowded, allow 2-3 hours. Midday brings at 14:00 with tokyo dome city indoor amusement park in Tokyo Dome City, Bunkyo. Booking: No advance booking required. Tip: Afternoon is peak time for families. Later at 17:00 with ghibli museum (advance booking required) in Ghibli Museum, Mitaka. Booking: Reserve 1-2 months ahead (international sales vary). Tip: Tickets sell out; afternoon slot available. Wear broken‑in walking shoes to avoid blisters. Carry a refillable water bottle; convenience stores will keep you topped up.
