Begin your Tokyo adventure at the legendary Shibuya Crossing, one of the busiest intersections in the world. Kids will enjoy crossing with the bustling crowd, looking up at the massive neon billboards, and taking photos with the famous Hachiko Statue. Keep an eye out for the popular 3D cat billboard, which appears throughout the day between other advertisements, adding a fun and whimsical touch to the scene. Then visit Shibuya PARCO, home to two of the city's most exciting gaming stores: Nintendo Tokyo and the Pokemon Center. At Nintendo Tokyo, kids can spot beloved characters like Mario, Link, and Kirby, and explore shelves filled with colorful merchandise and unique Nintendo-themed souvenirs. Just a floor above is the Pokémon Center Shibuya, one of the world's most thrilling Pokemon stores. Here, a giant Mewtwo statue greets visitors, hundreds of plush Pokemon line the walls, and Japan-exclusive toys await collectors and fans alike. Choose to visit one of these stores to browse and pick up a few keepsakes. Next, head to Harajuku, Tokyo's vibrant heart of kawaii culture. Start along Cat Street, a pedestrian-friendly avenue lined with quirky boutiques and cafés, then dive into the colorful chaos of Takeshita Street. While exploring, don't miss one of Harajuku's iconic treats: either a giant rainbow cotton candy or a sweet, stuffed Japanese crepe, perfect for kids and Instagram-worthy photos. Continue to Kawaii Monster Land, a playful and brightly decorated space that feels like stepping inside a pop-art dream world. Every hour, 15-minute dance performances feature elaborate Harajuku costumes and the lovable mascot, Choppy the Monster. You can enjoy a snack or lunch at the café while watching the show. A short stroll away is Kiddy Land, a multi-floor toy paradise featuring beloved characters from Hello Kitty, Miffy, Snoopy, Studio Ghibli, and Disney. End the day with a peaceful walk through the forested path leading to Meiji Shrine. The serene grounds offer a quiet escape from the busy streets, and kids love wandering under the giant wooden torii gates, observing traditional Shinto rituals, and writing their wishes on wooden plaques to leave at the shrine--a calming and memorable way to conclude a day full of color, fun, and adventure.

Then you will travel together to Hakone and have the chance to explore the Hakone "Loop". The loop can be done in clockwise or anti-clockwise order and your guide will decide the best course depending on where you are staying tonight, the season and how busy Hakone is when you visit. The loop typically includes a journey up to the Gora area to ride the Hakone Ropeway to Owakudani volcano crater, where you can try the tasty black eggs boiled in water bubbling up from within the volcano itself. Also included in the day's arrangements is a cruise across Lake Ashi. On clear weather days, you may be able to see Mt. Fuji peeping over the mountains (visibility is best from November to March).
