The best children's museums aren't quiet places where kids can't touch anything — they're the opposite. Look for hands-on exhibits, maker spaces, and outdoor play areas attached to the museum. In Tokyo, expect cherry blossom spring (March-April) is magical, summer is hot and humid, fall is pleasant. Pro tip: Get a Suica card for seamless train travel. Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea are separate parks — DisneySea is more unique. Convenience stores (konbini) are your secret weapon for cheap, great kid food.
