🛺 Rickshaw Tours — Local guides pull you through traditional alleys while sharing stories of old Tokyo. Great for grandparents or younger kids who tire easily.

 

🌳 Sumida Park — A riverside walkway with cherry trees and benches facing Tokyo Skytree. A peaceful spot to slow down, take pictures, and enjoy fresh air.

💡Family Tips

  • Arrive earlier in the morning to avoid mid-day crowds.
  • Wear comfortable shoes, stone paths can be tiring.
  • Set a meeting point (ex: big lantern) before exploring.
  • Carry some cash, many small vendors don’t take cards.
  • Photography is usually fine outdoors, but not always indoors.
