Two adults traveling with two kids (ages 7 and 10). Beginning of October. We are working on the timing of transportation. Want to make sure we aren't trying to do too much or too little with our time in Japan.
Day 0 (Tues): Arrive 2pm, make our way to AirBnb in Nakano City (trying to decide between public transportation and hiring a car to take us after a long day of travel). Explore the area and grab food.
Day 1 (Wednesday): Rest, explore in the AM (may stick near AirBnb or head across city), food, Tokyo SkyTree, 4:30p Maikoya Kimono Tea Ceremony (kid friendly version)
Day 2 (Thursday): DisneySea day
Day 3 (Friday): Day Trip to Hakone. We plan on buying the Hakone Free Pass. Spend 2-3 hours at the Open Air Museum. Ride the Ropeway, starting at the Sounzan End. Ride the Pirate Ship across the Lake. Would love recommendations for kid friendly dining in the area.
Day 4 (Saturday): AM Making of Harry Potter (likely around 4 hours with some flex time). PM Sunshine City Mall to go to the Pokemon Center, Pokemon Sweets Cafe and Ghibli store.
Day 5 (Sunday): Day trip to Kamakura/Enoshima. Plan on going to the Hasedera and the Caves in Enoshima. Want to give ourselves time at each place. May stop at the Enoshima Aquarium or the Lighthouse on the island.
Would love input on sights we shouldn't miss and on kid friendly food (I imagine it's going to be lots of Katsu and plain ramen noodles).
