August Tokyo (or nearby) Trip with 5 year old
I'm taking my daughter on her first overseas trip in August for 6 nights, arriving HND.
I still have total flexibility to take her anywhere and do anything. She's quite mature. I know the August weather will challenge both of us, so I'm looking for forays into the heat that take a few hours, and can be mixed up with indoor stuff. I'm thinking zoos, castles, and parks/gardens mixed with kid friendly museums.
I have a Booking at the Mandarin Oriental, but am not above cancelling and going elsewhere.. even elsewhere in Japan, if it will make for a better trip for her to start her international adventures.
So with that in mind, I humbly ask the help of those with more knowledge of Japan in general and Tokyo specifically for this kind of trip.
