![]() There is also a bus that you can take from Shinjuku station. Depending on which station is closest to you, it will vary how you get there. On our way home, we did use the train and found it fairly easy to use. Yes, this is the more expensive option but if there are 4 “adults” it really isn’t so much more expensive. We were not in any shape to figure out the train and get to our hotel. We arrived at Narita Airport which is quite a distance from Tokyo proper – about an hour drive! When we arrived I had booked a transfer and I am SO glad I did. It’s worth checking the cost of getting around. Sometimes it really was cheaper for us to use a taxi instead of the subway for 4 of us. The other mode of transport we used? Our feet! Yup lots of walking!įinally, there are taxis in Tokyo of course. This was great because it gave us some extra spending money at the end to pick up some food before we left! When you leave you can exchange your card at the station or at the airport train station to get back the balance plus your deposit amount. It is so easy to use and you can charge it at any stop and either on entering or exiting the station. There is a 500 yen deposit on the card and then you just charge it as you go. You can purchase a PASMO card at any station. The lines are color-coded and the stops are numbered. The number one question you’ll probably have is how in the world do you move around Tokyo?

Tokyo is a huge city with over 9 million people. If you’re planning a week in Tokyo with teens this is a great itinerary! While we hadn’t planned to spend a week in Tokyo, we ended up doing this due to a few personal reasons and a major hiccup when our pre-ordered train passes never showed up.

Tokyo Teen Checklist – The Must See and Do for Tokyo Teenagers If you are visiting this summer visit a Festival. Also check out our recommendations for Tokyo Nights with Kids, Free For Kids!, Open on Monday attractions, and the Tokyo Family Bucket List. All of the activities below can be conducted without parental supervision if desired or necessary. Share this list with your teen to have them vote on what they want and reduce the emotional rollercoaster of living or traveling with a teen(s) just a tad. To make sure the list was not too male oriented the list was edited by a select group of members of the female persuasion. However, they were able to agree on this Tokyo Teen Checklist on the must see and do. My three teen boys have grown up in Tokyo and do not agree on much.
