Thanks for this post. I am travelling over to Tokyo in August - with my 2 year and my 7 year old! This sounds like a perfect day out. Do you know if you can get baby seats on the bike hire? also I guess they do kid bikes to?
ReplyDeleteDo you know of any good child friendly hotels to stay in? I am looking at staying in a Tokyo serviced apartment but if you could recommend any good cheap hotels I might have a look into that.
I also really wanted to go to the imperial palace - but I am unsure on how child friendly it is? Do you think it would be ok?
