About this experience

We've tailor made this tour for families travelling together to be able to spend a fun day in Tokyo the way local families do. Whenever we meet up with friends to spend a family day out, this is the kind of place we go to, and we want you to enjoy it too. It's a place where everyone in the family can have fun, not just the parents or the kids. We understand both the joys and challenges of raising a loving family, and that's why we've included some time for Parents to getaway and spend some alone time while our family guides the kids around the park's fun activities. My wife is Japanese, but we've also lived together overseas, and perks like these are one of the reasons we chose Japan. We want to spread our love to you too!

This park has:
- Beautiful landscapes, Japanese ponds, Bonsai, and Tokyo's biggest flower park
