This carefully crafted itinerary balances high-end attractions with kid-friendly activities, ensuring your family creates lasting memories without sacrificing comfort or style.
From serene gardens to interactive museums and magical theme parks, this journey through Tokyo will delight travelers of all ages.
Day 1: Arrival and Shinjuku Exploration
Your family’s Tokyo adventure begins in Shinjuku, where you’ll ease into the city rhythm with a perfect mix of natural beauty and urban excitement.
This first day is designed to help your family adjust to the time difference while still enjoying meaningful experiences.
We start our morning at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a peaceful oasis in the heart of bustling Tokyo.
The garden’s spacious lawns provide the perfect setting for children to run freely after a long flight, while parents can enjoy the meticulously maintained Japanese, English, and French garden sections.

The garden’s ¥500 adult and ¥250 child entrance fees are a small price to pay for such tranquility in central Tokyo.
Luxury Lunch Experience
After working up an appetite in the garden, we head to Kagurazaka Ishikawa for lunch.
This Michelin-starred kaiseki restaurant offers private rooms specifically designed for families, making it an ideal introduction to fine Japanese dining.
The multi-course meal showcases seasonal ingredients through beautifully presented dishes that even young diners will appreciate.
While the ¥15,000 per person cost reflects its luxury status, the private setting allows families to relax without worrying about disturbing other guests.
City Views from Above
Our afternoon takes us to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Observation Deck, where floor-to-ceiling windows present panoramic views of the sprawling metropolis.
Children will be thrilled to spot landmarks like Tokyo Tower and, on clear days, even Mount Fuji in the distance.
This free attraction offers an educational opportunity to orient yourselves to the city’s layout while creating an exciting first-day memory.
Day 2: Magic and Wonder at Tokyo Disneyland
No luxury family trip to Tokyo would be complete without dedicating a full day to Tokyo Disneyland, arguably the most family-friendly attraction in the region.
This meticulously designed park offers a magical experience that will delight both children and adults.
We arrive right when the park opens at 9:00 AM, ready for a day of enchantment.
The VIP fast passes included in our luxury itinerary (an additional ¥10,000 investment well worth making) allow us to skip the longest lines, maximizing our time on beloved attractions rather than waiting in queues.
The park’s immaculate cleanliness and legendary Japanese attention to detail elevate this Disney experience above others worldwide.
Character Dining Experience
As evening approaches, we’ve reserved a table at the atmospheric Blue Bayou Restaurant in Adventureland.
Dining inside the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction creates a unique experience where the gentle sounds of water and firefly lighting transport you to a Louisiana bayou.
The ¥6,000 per person price includes not just excellent food but an immersive dining experience that extends the day’s magic into mealtime.
Day 3: Cultural Exploration in Asakusa
Our third day balances cultural heritage with interactive learning, centered around the historic Asakusa district and nearby attractions.
This day offers a perfect mix of tradition and child-friendly activities that satisfy curious minds.
We begin our morning at Senso-ji Temple, Tokyo’s oldest Buddhist temple dating back to 645 AD.
Children will love the ritual of wafting incense smoke toward themselves (believed to impart healing properties) and drawing omikuji fortunes.
The vibrant Nakamise-dori shopping street leading to the temple offers traditional snacks and souvenirs, creating natural breaks during your cultural exploration.
Traditional Japanese Lunch
Nearby Mugitoro provides the perfect lunch stop after our temple visit. This restaurant specializes in traditional Japanese comfort food, particularly dishes featuring grated mountain yam (tororo).
The warm, family-friendly atmosphere and reasonable ¥3,000 per person price point make it an accessible luxury that introduces children to authentic Japanese flavors in a non-intimidating setting.
Science and Discovery
The afternoon takes us to the National Museum of Nature and Science in Ueno Park.
This world-class museum features interactive exhibits on dinosaurs, space exploration, and Japanese ecosystems that captivate young minds.
The ¥630 adult admission (free for children under 18) offers excellent value for the quality of exhibits and hands-on learning opportunities.
The museum’s bilingual displays make scientific concepts accessible to English-speaking families.
Day 4: Digital Art and Shopping in Odaiba
Odaiba, Tokyo’s futuristic entertainment district built on reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay, provides the setting for our fourth day of luxury family experiences.
This area perfectly balances cutting-edge attractions with practical amenities for families.
Our morning at TeamLab Borderless delivers a truly unique experience where art and technology merge to create immersive digital landscapes.
Children delight in the interactive nature of the exhibits — running through rooms where flowers bloom at their feet or creating music by touching floating light orbs.
The ¥3,800 adult and ¥1,300 child tickets grant access to this extraordinary sensory journey that families rarely experience elsewhere.
Family-Friendly Sushi Experience
For lunch, we change pace with a visit to Hamazushi in DiverCity Tokyo Plaza.
This conveyor belt sushi restaurant offers a fun, interactive dining experience where children can select dishes as they pass by or order specific items using touchscreen panels.
At approximately ¥2,500 per person, this represents an accessible luxury — high-quality, fresh sushi in a setting where young diners can practice using chopsticks without pressure.
Shopping and Entertainment
We spend our afternoon exploring DiverCity Tokyo Plaza, a shopping complex designed with families in mind.
Children will be awestruck by the life-sized Gundam robot statue performing hourly shows outside the mall.
Inside, the complex houses toy stores, character shops, and family-friendly entertainment options. Setting aside ¥10,000 for family purchases allows for meaningful souvenirs rather than impulse buys.
Day 5: Serenity and Green Spaces
Our final day in Tokyo focuses on relaxation and natural beauty, with a gentle pace that allows for reflection on your journey before departure.
This thoughtfully planned day provides cultural touchpoints while giving children space to play freely.
We begin at Meiji Jingu Shrine, walking through the towering torii gate that marks the entrance to this Shinto sanctuary.
The shrine’s forested grounds create a peaceful atmosphere where families can watch traditional ceremonies if timing allows.
Children enjoy participating in Shinto customs like writing wishes on wooden prayer tablets (ema) or cleansing hands at the temizuya water pavilion.
Gourmet Comfort Food
For lunch, we visit Tonkatsu Narikura, known among locals as serving some of Tokyo’s finest breaded pork cutlets.
The restaurant’s commitment to quality is evident in their careful selection of premium pork and housemade panko breadcrumbs.
At ¥3,500 per person, this represents accessible luxury — simple food elevated through exceptional ingredients and preparation techniques that children and adults equally appreciate.
Outdoor Family Time
We conclude our Tokyo adventure with a visit to Yoyogi Park, where local families gather on weekends for picnics and recreation.
This sprawling green space allows children to burn off energy before the journey home.
The park sometimes hosts weekend events and performances, offering a glimpse into everyday Tokyo life and a relaxed ending to your luxury family experience.
Accommodation and Transportation Tips
Selecting the right home base enhances your family’s Tokyo experience considerably.
Luxury accommodations in central areas like Shinjuku or Roppongi range from ¥20,000 to ¥50,000 per night, with many high-end hotels offering family suites or connecting rooms.
For getting around the city, we recommend purchasing or topping-up Suica or Pasmo cards for each family member.
These rechargeable transit cards work on virtually all trains, subways, and buses in Tokyo, eliminating the need to purchase individual tickets for each journey.
For a truly luxury experience, consider hiring a private driver for certain days, particularly when visiting multiple locations.
Planning Ahead for Family Comfort
When traveling with children in Tokyo’s luxury scene, advance reservations become essential.
Restaurants like Kagurazaka Ishikawa require booking weeks in advance, particularly for private rooms suitable for families.
Similarly, scheduling rest breaks throughout each day helps prevent overtired children and enhances everyone’s enjoyment.
Carrying snacks and water proves particularly valuable during full-day excursions like Tokyo Disneyland.
Even in luxury travel, preparing for children’s immediate needs ensures smoother experiences at high-end attractions where food options might be limited or involve waiting.
