Where to stay during a one week in Tokyo visit
Lodging in Tokyo can be expensive. Depending on your budget, you might not get a lot of space in your rooms. Consider it as just one of the costs of staying in the city.
For your family’s one week in Tokyo trip, the hotels I recommend are either hotels I’ve stayed at before or places that are convenient for getting around. They all can accommodate families of 4 people. If your family is larger than that, you’ll need to consider booking two rooms.
RoNa Hotel
During our one week in Tokyo, we stayed at RoNa Hotel, a simple studio apartment-style hotel in Shinjuku, which was perfect for our family. The quadruple rooms with bunk beds were small but had enough space to stretch out. Each room was equipped with a kitchenette, washing machine, TV, and WiFi, providing all the essentials for a comfortable stay.
The hotel's convenient location made it easy to access nearby restaurants and subway stations, making our Tokyo exploration hassle-free. This setup was ideal for families, offering both practicality and comfort in the heart of the city.
Sakura Hotel Jimbocho
If you’re looking for a great budget option for families, consider staying at Sakura Hostel Jimbocho. Located in the Jimbocho neighborhood, this hostel offers private rooms that can accommodate 3-5 people. Sakura Hostel provides easy access to the Imperial Palace and other attractions. The rooms are very basic and small, with just beds and a TV, but they do have WiFi.
While some rooms have shared bathrooms, there are also room options with private bathrooms. During a past visit to Tokyo that I took in 2004 (pre-kids), this hostel provided a comfortable and affordable base for exploring the city. I also enjoyed the opportunity to meet other travelers staying at the hostel.
At the time, I booked a private room, which I thought was decent enough for a one week in Tokyo stay. Sakura Hostel is an excellent choice for families looking to experience Tokyo on a budget.
Shibuya Stream Hotel
If your budget is not so tight (and you can afford to splurge), another hotel option for families is Shibuya Stream Hotel. This highly rated hotel is conveniently located near Shibuya station, within walking distance from the Shibuya Scramble, Yoyogi Park, and Meiji Jingu Shrine. It’s a great central location for families spending one week in Tokyo.
Rooms at Shibuya Stream Hotel have 2 double beds that can accommodate families of up to 4 people. The spacious rooms also have WiFi, refrigerator, in-room safe, air conditioning, and fantastic views of the city. Breakfast is available for a fee.
One week in Tokyo highlights
Tokyo offers a variety of family-friendly activities that cater to diverse interests. We loved the interplay between the old and the new that we experienced during our one week in Tokyo.
You can enjoy serene strolls in historic gardens one day, and then the next day experience the latest in technology and culture! Ancient temples sit alongside modern skyrises, and people just move seamlessly from one space to the next. Japan’s culture is so fascinating and rich. It’s the perfect destination for worldschooling families to visit.
For this post, I’ve compiled all the activities my family experienced during our one week in Tokyo, plus a few extra suggestions. Whether you’re first time visitors to Tokyo, or coming back for a return visit, I hope this post will help you create the perfect 7 day Tokyo itinerary for your own one week in Tokyo adventure.
1. Walk through the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace
While Japan is governed by a Prime Minister, it still maintains a ceremonial monarchy with an emperor who resides in the iconic Imperial Palace in Tokyo. The palace itself is not open to the public. However, you can visit the beautiful Imperial Palace grounds and its surrounding gardens.
Free guided tours of the palace grounds are led by the Imperial Household Agency. The website says you’ll need to register online ahead of time. These tours provide a unique worldschooling opportunity for families to learn about the history and significance of the Imperial Palace while enjoying the tranquil beauty of its surroundings.
If you are looking for something less structured, the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace are open to the public without the need for a tour. I visited the gardens in 2004. It was so interesting to see the juxtaposition of traditional architecture and landscapes against the backdrop of modern Tokyo skyscrapers.
The East Gardens of the Imperial Palace provide a peaceful retreat from the bustling city life. They are accessible every day of the week except for Mondays and Fridays. Families can stroll through meticulously maintained landscapes, explore historical ruins, and enjoy seasonal flora.
Besides the free tours offered by the Imperial Household Agency, you can also book paid guided tours from local tour companies.
2. Visit Tsukiji Fish Market
Visiting Tsukiji Fish Market during your one week in Tokyo is a delightful adventure for the whole family. Once a bustling wholesale fish market where you could see live auctions of tuna and other fish, Tsukiji Market is now a vibrant hub filled with seafood vendors, charming restaurants, and quaint shops selling small goods (the wholesale market moved to Toyosu Market in 2018). Despite its change in focus, it remains a must-visit destination, offering a taste of Tokyo that is both educational and delicious for the family.
We visited Tsukiji Market on our own and had a memorable meal at a small restaurant within the market, where we enjoyed kaisendon—rice bowls topped with an assortment of fresh fish, or sashimi. Our bowls were generously topped with succulent fatty tuna and salmon, briny salmon roe, and creamy sea urchin. It was truly an unforgettable culinary experience.
The market opens as early as 5 am, although on Sundays and Wednesdays it opens at a more family-friendly 10 am. Closing time is 2 pm every day, but some restaurants will still stay open after that time.
If you’re uncertain about visiting Tsukiji Market on your own, book a guide to walk you through the market to learn more about the seafood and history. Book this great Tsukiji Market tour, which takes you through the many areas of the market.
3. Food tour or cooking class
Besides Tsukiji Market, there are plenty of other neighborhoods to try Japanese food, including Shibuya and Asakusa. Japanese food is so diverse! We loved trying out udon, ramen, and soba, as well as sampling Japanese curry and okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake with noodles and cabbage). There are also izakaya restaurants, where you can sample all sorts of Japanese food in one place! And if you’re on a budget, the convenience stores are great for getting cheap meals.
If you want to get to know Japanese culture during your one week in Tokyo, taking a food tour or cooking class is definitely the way to go. While a bar-hopping tour through Golden Gai (a series of narrow alleys known for its bars) is probably not ideal for kids, there are plenty of other food tours families can take that are suitable for all ages. These highly rated tours are just what you need to get a taste of Japan!

4. Say hello to pandas at Ueno Zoo
Ueno Zoo, located in central Tokyo's Ueno Park (this park is a great place to visit during cherry blossom season!), is a sprawling wildlife sanctuary featuring a diverse array of animals. The zoo is divided into two main sections, showcasing birds, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals from around the globe.
One of the zoo's most popular attractions is the giant pandas, a must-see for visitors of all ages. In addition to the pandas, the zoo is home to a variety of fascinating creatures, including aye-ayes, elephants, tigers, and bears.
With so much to see, plan to spend several hours exploring the zoo to fully appreciate its extensive collection. Ueno Zoo also offers several cafes and restaurants, providing convenient spots for a meal or a restful break during your visit. The zoo's location within Ueno Park also makes it easy to explore nearby museums.
Tickets to Ueno Zoo can be purchased on their website ahead of time, or the day of at the gates. The cost of admission is 600 yen (roughly $4 USD) for adults and 200 yen (roughly $1.34) for junior high students. Kids younger than junior high are free.
5. Hang out with Hello Kitty at Sanrio Puroland
For a whimsical adventure into a world dedicated to Hello Kitty and her friends, take a trip to Sanrio Puroland during your one week in Tokyo. This enchanting indoor theme park promises a magical and memorable day out for families, celebrating the joy and charm of Hello Kitty and friends. As avid Hello Kitty fans, we were thrilled to immerse ourselves in this colorful world.
Sanrio Puroland offers a variety of attractions that cater to young visitors. The park features two simple but delightful rides—a boat ride and a car ride—alongside several interactive shows that captivate and entertain. Children can visit various themed rooms dedicated to their favorite Sanrio characters, including Hello Kitty and the enchanting twins, Kiki and Lala. The fun extends to the park’s eateries, where meals are whimsically decorated in Sanrio themes. We ordered the Hello Kitty bento kids meal, which comes with a Hello Kitty container!.
Located about an hour outside of central Tokyo, Sanrio Puroland is easily accessible via subway and commuter train. Opening times vary, so it’s best to check their website for the latest details. Tickets can be purchased online ahead of time through Sanrio Puroland's website.
6. Experience otaku culture at Akihabara
The Akihabara neighborhood is a great way to experience Japan’s otaku (gaming and anime) culture during your one week in Tokyo visit. This vibrant area is the go-to spot for buying electronics and video games, making it a tech enthusiast's paradise. For families with an interest in anime, Akihabara also boasts numerous stores selling a wide range of anime figurines, adding to its unique appeal.
Be sure to visit some of the popular stores like Yodabashi, Don Quixote, Animate Akihabara, and Mandarake. These shops offer everything from the latest gadgets to exclusive anime merchandise, providing a fascinating shopping experience for visitors.
Akihabara also has some inexpensive ramen shops that are perfect for a family meal. We particularly enjoyed Hakata Furyu Akihabara, which offers delicious ramen options and two free noodle refills. That means everyone leaves satisfied. The quick and easy service at Furyu (you just order your dish from a screen!) adds to the pleasant dining experience. It’s a great spot to refuel before continuing your Akihabara adventure.
If you want to fully experience Akihabara, a walking tour is perfect for your family. The walking tours offered by Magical Trip take you to all the best anime and gaming spots, as well as a maid cafe!
7. Check out the scramble at Shibuya
Shibuya, a bustling shopping district in Tokyo, is renowned for its iconic street crossing, often known as the Shibuya Scramble Crossing or Shibuya Crossing. It reminds me of Times Square in New York City.
This vibrant neighborhood is a hub of fashion and commerce, featuring international brands like Uniqlo and IKEA alongside a variety of other popular fashion retailers. The lively atmosphere and endless shopping options make Shibuya a must-visit for anyone looking to experience Tokyo's urban culture.
One of Shibuya's notable landmarks is the statue of Hachiko, located near Shibuya Scramble in front of Shibuya Station. Hachiko was a loyal dog who used to accompany his owner to the train station every day. After his owner died, Hachiko continued to visit the station for almost a decade, waiting for his owner to return. Hachiko eventually became a symbol of loyalty for Japan.
Whether you’re visiting Shibuya for the famous crossing, for shopping, or to see the Hachiko statue, Shibuya offers a unique and memorable experience for visitors exploring the heart of Tokyo.

8. Learn about Buddhism at Asakusa Senso-ji
Asakusa Senso-ji, Tokyo's oldest Buddhist temple, offers a captivating glimpse into Japanese Buddhism and its practices. The temple was originally built in 645 AD, but had to be rebuilt after sustaining damage during World War II. It’s one of the most popular Buddhist temples in Japan, up there on the list with temples like Ryoan-ji in Kyoto and Todai-ji in Nara.
The iconic Thunder Gate, adorned with a giant paper lantern, is the most well-known part of Senso-ji and serves as a striking entrance to the temple complex. Leading up to the temple is a lively pedestrian street lined with souvenir shops, called Nakamise Shopping Street. This street is an ideal spot to purchase unique Japanese souvenirs and mementos.
If you want to dive deeper into Asakusa history and significance, taking a guided walking tour is the way to go. You’ll be able to learn more about Senso-Ji temple, as well as other points of interest in Asakusa.
9. Go head-to-head with a sumo wrestler
While visiting Asakusa, don’t miss out on the exciting sumo demonstration at the Asakusa Sumo Club. This unique experience includes an all-you-can-eat chicken hotpot meal, similar to what sumo wrestlers eat daily. Unlike more formal and strict sumo demonstrations, this one is lively and interactive, making it perfect for families.
The show features a traditional geisha dance, a brief history of sumo, and a demonstration by two wrestlers. The highlight is the opportunity for audience members to try wrestling one of the sumo wrestlers, adding a fun and engaging twist to the experience. My husband tried his hand at wrestling one of the wrestlers while we were there, and put up a pretty good fight, in my opinion.
Our family loved the sumo demonstration, as it provided a fantastic blend of learning and entertainment. This memorable event offers a deep dive into Japanese culture while ensuring everyone has a great time. It’s definitely an activity you don’t want to miss in Tokyo!
10. Relax at an onsen or sento
Experiencing an onsen in Tokyo offers a delightful immersion into a cherished aspect of Japanese culture. Onsens, traditional public baths using water from hot springs, are believed to have healing properties and are an integral part of Japanese life. You can find onsens throughout Tokyo, catering to all ages, and many feature both indoor and outdoor baths, providing a serene retreat from the bustling city. There are also sentos, which are also public baths, but don’t have the hot springs component.
When visiting an onsen or sento, there are several important rules to follow. Men and women have separate bathing areas, and it's essential to shower thoroughly before entering the bath. Bathing is done without clothing, and while most onsens and sentos do not allow tattoos, some are tattoo-friendly. Onsens and sentos range from basic facilities offering just the bathing experience to more luxurious ones where you can enjoy meals and massages before or after your soak.
Our own onsen experiences varied from a fancy onsen in Kyoto to a small, basic one in Tokyo. But we enjoyed both experiences immensely. Whether you opt for a simple bath or a more indulgent visit, experiencing an onsen is a soothing and culturally enriching activity that offers a glimpse into the traditional Japanese way of relaxation and rejuvenation.
11. Experience a traditional tea ceremony
Experiencing a tea ceremony in Japan is an enchanting way to immerse yourself in Japanese culture. We did a tea ceremony when we were in Kyoto, and we all thought it was such a unique and meditative experience!
Tea holds significant importance in Japan, with matcha being the star of these ceremonies. Matcha is made by steaming and drying tea leaves and grinding them into a fine powder, creating a rich and vibrant green tea.
Japanese tea ceremonies are traditionally performed to mark the changing seasons, celebrate special occasions, and observe holidays. The intricate rituals of the ceremony are designed to promote inner peace and tranquility, offering participants a moment of calm reflection amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Taking part in a tea ceremony during your one week in Tokyo allows you to appreciate the deep cultural significance and meditative practices that have been cherished in Japan for centuries. I recommend the tea ceremonies offered by Maikoya (while we didn’t do our tea ceremony with them, we did a samurai experience with them and loved them!).
12. Visit the Samurai Ninja Museum
If you’re into samurai and ninja history, visiting the Samurai Ninja Museum in Tokyo during your one week in Tokyo offers a fascinating journey into the history and culture of Japan's legendary samurai class.
The museum, which is operated by Maikoya, is dedicated to showcasing the rich history of samurai, who were once highly respected warriors serving the shogun, the leader of Japan. Known for their discipline and rigorous training, samurai also integrated spiritual practices into their martial arts. They embodied a unique blend of physical prowess and inner peace.
The museum tour, narrated by an expert guide, provides an insightful overview of samurai history and the cultural context of their era. You'll learn about the various aspects of samurai life, from their fighting techniques to their code of honor and spiritual beliefs. This immersive experience offers a comprehensive understanding of the samurai's role in shaping Japanese history and culture.
One of the highlights of the visit is the interactive activities at the end of the tour. Visitors get the chance to throw shuriken (ninja stars) and try on replica samurai armor, adding a hands-on element to the educational experience. Our family visited the Samurai and Ninja Museum in Kyoto and found the museum both informative and engaging. The Tokyo museum is certainly just as memorable.
13. Step into history at Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum
The Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum is a captivating destination that transports visitors back in time with its collection of restored homes and buildings from the Edo period. Located about an hour from central Tokyo by train, this open-air museum and park were established to preserve Tokyo's historic architecture. As you walk through the museum, you'll encounter homes dating back to the 1600s, as well as residences from the 1920s to the 1950s, offering a fascinating glimpse into different eras of Japan's past.
Exploring the traditional farmhouses gave us a vivid sense of what life might have been like during the Edo period. The attention to detail in the restoration work is impressive, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the historical ambiance. The museum also features a section with restored shops and businesses from the 1800s to the 1920s, providing further insights into Japan's cultural and economic history.
For those feeling hungry, the museum offers two on-site eateries. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at the noodle house, where we savored traditional handmade cold soba noodles. The Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum is a perfect blend of education and entertainment, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in Japan's rich history.
If you want a deeper dive into the Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum, having a guide is extremely helpful. They can offer more explanation about the history of the buildings. Note, guides are offered by private companies and not by the Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum.

14. Worship at Meiji Jingu Shrine
Visiting the Meiji Jingu Shrine in Tokyo offers a serene and educational experience set amidst tranquil grounds near Yoyogi Park. Built during the Meiji period, this Shinto shrine is free to enter and provides a peaceful retreat from the bustling city. It is an excellent place to learn about Shinto beliefs and observe the practices of Shintoism.
Before our visit, we familiarized ourselves with the purification rituals at the water fountains and the proper way to pray at Shinto shrines. It was heartwarming to see the kids engaged and participating in the worship, making the visit both a spiritual and educational experience. The expansive grounds and the solemn atmosphere provided a perfect setting for reflection and learning.
One of the most touching aspects of our visit was the tree adorned with ema, wooden tablets where visitors write their prayers and hopes. These tablets are read aloud by monks during their daily prayers. My son and I took some time to write our own wishes on an ema and hang them on the tree, adding a personal and memorable touch to our visit to Meiji Jingu Shrine.
If you want to learn more about Shintoism, taking a guided walking tour of Meiji Jingu Shrine is helpful. This one hour tour will provide insight into the landmarks of the shrine, and how to worship at shrines.
15. Immerse in art at teamLab Planets
Located near Tsukiji Market, teamLab Planets in Tokyo offers an immersive art experience that goes beyond visual stimulation to engage all your senses. This innovative art installation incorporates natural elements like water, air, and plants, designed to evoke a wide range of emotions and feelings as you move through each exhibit. The multi-sensory experience includes smell, touch, and sound, creating a truly unique interaction with the art.
The museum features several distinct rooms, each housing its own captivating installation. An interactive app can be downloaded to enhance your engagement with the exhibits, adding another layer of interaction. Walking through teamLAB Planets, you feel as though you've stepped into another world, with each room offering a new and mesmerizing sensory adventure.
Our visit to teamLab Planets was unforgettable, as the immersive environment allowed us to fully lose ourselves in the art. It was a transformative experience that delighted all our senses, making it a standout highlight of our time in Tokyo.

Suggested one week in Tokyo itinerary
Tokyo has so much to offer travelers, it’s easy to fill your days with activities and sightseeing. During our time in Tokyo, we ended up walking at least 20,000 steps a day!
However, I know that not every family is going to be able to fill your days with activities. And if you have young kids, especially, it’s better to limit your activities while you’re in Tokyo. For your one week in Tokyo, try not to pack in too many activities or else your kids will get too tired.
Here’s my suggested 1 week in Tokyo itinerary.
- Day 1: Tsukiji Fish Market in the morning and Team Labs: Planets in the afternoon
- Day 2: Ueno Zoo in the morning and Sky Tree
- Day 3: Walk Akihabara in the morning and spend the afternoon at an onsen or sento
- Day 4: Asakusa exploration at Senso-Ji, then the Samurai Museum and ending with the Sumo demonstration
- Day 5: Morning at Meiji Jingu Shrine then shopping in Shibuya
- Day 6: Take a day trip to Sanrio Puroland
- Day 7: Day trip to Edo Open Air Museum and a late afternoon tea ceremony
Tips for a great one week in Tokyo itinerary
Visiting Tokyo can be an unforgettable experience, and a little preparation goes a long way. Start by booking your activities in advance, as many popular attractions and tours fill up quickly. Learning a few basic Japanese phrases can also be incredibly helpful and appreciated by locals, making your interactions smoother and more enjoyable.
It's wise to carry some cash with you, as not all places accept credit cards, especially for subway tickets and small restaurants. Convenience stores are a fantastic option for quick, cheap meals, offering a wide variety of fresh and tasty options.
For families coming from Narita Airport, do not take a taxi as it will cost you hundreds of dollars. Instead, take a train or book an airport bus. From Haneda Airport, you can take the subway or train as well.
If you must use a taxi for some reason during your one week in Tokyo, the Go taxi app ensures you have a reliable way to hail a cab if needed, adding an extra layer of convenience to your trip. By following these tips, you'll be well-prepared to explore and enjoy all that Tokyo has to offer.

We made so many memories watching sumo in Asakusa, eating fish at Tsukiji Market, and interacting with immersive art at teamLAB Planets. Tokyo gives families a chance to engage with both traditional and modern.
For families planning a one week in Tokyo visit, the diverse activities I highlight in this post ensure that each day in Tokyo is filled with new adventures and learning opportunities. The city's seamless blend of ancient traditions and cutting-edge attractions offers something for everyone in the family.
Whether it's marveling at historical landmarks, participating in interactive experiences, or simply enjoying the local cuisine, Tokyo promises unforgettable memories.
