The 18 best things to do with kids in Edogawa

This place was pretty cool. It was really crowded when I went due to Golden Week and it being a free admission day, so families filled up the aquarium really quickly. I got there 45 minutes early and there were already so many people lined up outside. It was a pretty cool place, and their notable unique animal was the tuna, which was really cool to see how freaking big they were. It’s pretty much a one path aquarium so it’s easy to follow as well. Overall, I definitely enjoyed it.

Visited during Tokyo Citizens Day which was a mistake since I had to skip a few exhibits, but the variety and displays I did see were lovely! It's a nice place that is absolutely worth the price of the regular ticket because it has cool areas such as a touch tank that even expensive aquariums in Tokyo don't offer. I'll definitely visit again on a quieter day.

Amazing marine life experience! Tokyo Sea Life Park is a fantastic place to explore the ocean world up close. The aquariums are well-designed, clean, and showcase a wide variety of marine creatures, from colorful tropical fish to majestic penguins and seals. The park is family-friendly, educational, and perfect for a relaxing day out. Great for kids, couples, or anyone who loves marine life and photography!

just visited Tokyo Sea Life Park, tucked away in the scenic coastal setting of Kasai Rinkai Park in Tokyo. It’s very convenient to reach: from Tokyo Station take the JR Keiyō Line to Kasai-Rinkai-Koen Station, and from there it is only a 5-minute walk to the aquarium entrance.  Once inside you’ll be immersed in an incredible marine world: one of the signature exhibits is the vast donut-shaped tank holding hundreds of bluefin tuna, a truly memorable sight.  The facility also features one of Japan’s larger penguin habitats and a plethora of species from tropical seas, temperate zones, even arctic waters — over 600 different sea-creatures and many unique habitats.  For getting there, if you’re coming by car note that the aquarium has no dedicated parking lot, so it’s highly recommended to use the train, especially on holidays and weekends.  After your aquarium visit, you can stroll around the surrounding Kasai Rinkai Park — enjoy fresh sea breeze, views of Tokyo Bay and the large Ferris wheel in the park.  Practical tip: allow at least 1–2 hours for the aquarium portion; if you plan to also ride the Ferris wheel or explore the park grounds, budget half a day.  Overall, Tokyo Sea Life Park offers a relaxed alternative to busier Tokyo aquariums — ideal for a calm, memorable outing with nature, sea-life and waterfront scenery.”

Overall not that bad, but not good either. Ok for little children but even if there are multiple species, the aquariums are far too little. The sharks and fish seemed bored, they kept circling in their very reduced space. It was really heartbreaking. Penguins are a little bit better treated but they only have a concrete environment. There also are seabirds in cages with no space to fly at all. I wouldn’t recommend to support this kind of captivity. The place was also very overcrowded and loud (public holiday so it makes sense) at the point where it was difficult to see the fish at all. I recommend spending time and money on other attractions as this one didn’t stand out.

This park is very easily accessible by train, bus or car. It is very walkable, with plenty of food options. The aquarium offers a great variety of sea life. Very close nearby are parks, observation decks, and a giant Ferris wheel. It is very clean and you don’t get lost easily. However, some of the walking takes a while and a lot of the exhibits are a little repetitive.

For 700 yen as entry fee, this place deserves more than 5-stars!! The aquarium of fishes and organisms were centered around various parts of the world. I had an enjoyable time reading and identifying the fishes in the tank. Some fishes were so peculiar and the entire experience was so educational for someone with little knowledge about aquatic animals and fish. There is also a Humboldt penguin zone (super cute; though I worried for the poor birds in the summer heat) and a tide pool zone (where you can touch and feel some organisms). Because we entered the aquarium late, we did not have sufficient time to visit the gift shop and fully appreciate the jelly fish zone. Do allocate more than 1 hour here! I hope to be back again one day.

Our visit to Tokyo Disneyland was absolutely magical from start to finish! The park was beautifully maintained, and every corner was filled with Disney charm. The parades, attractions, and staff hospitality were all top-notch — it truly felt like stepping into a fairytale. What made our experience even more special was our stay at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel. The hotel was simply fabulous — elegant, spotless, and perfectly themed. The staff were warm, attentive, and always ready to help. Our room had a beautiful view of the park, and the convenience of being just steps away from the entrance made it easy to fully enjoy our day. The breakfast buffet was delicious, with a great mix of Japanese and Western dishes. We also appreciated the little Disney touches everywhere — from the decor to the amenities. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to return and make more magical memories! ✨

We had a great day here with 2 kids, coming early to queue is necessary if you are in a hurry to play many games, but if not, there is no need to come too early to queue, just wait for the opening time, the games always have a very crowded and long queue, but in 1 day you can play 3 to 4 interesting games. The weather is cooler in the evening, you can take advantage to play more games that you missed in this cool afternoon. The fireworks in the evening are not very excellent for me, but the music is great, experience it yourself until the evening

Can get really crowded during the weekends with lots of kids and parents at the theme park. Queues for the rides are often 1hr+ long so bring your entertainment to pass time while queuing (luckily, we had our Switch so time passed faster playing games). The whole experience was marred by the crowd. Still, the castle is magical and romantic - took many good pictures here that would shape some great memories ~ There also wasn't as many actors/mascots as I thought there would be - only saw one actress as Belle...

Visited on a Wednesday, the crowd was ok. Make sure you book in advance and download the app. Link your tickets to the app and ensure that you have secured your stop to view the mid day parade, the show and fireworks on the castle, and the evening parade. Its really worth it. On the app you may assess the need to buy a fast pass, the beauty and the beast ride is not to be missed.

Wow. Wow. Wow. What a great day. My wife and I had such a great day, being out inner child. Sure there are going to be crowds, and queues. Accept it. Embrace it. Look around at the faces of the children and families. Try do do something that makes their day a little bit more special. So many memories that the photos do not fully represent. Do it !! Commit to being your inner child, and bring a smile to the families around you.

Tickets are buy in advance only and not available at the park! This is an Amazing Disney park! Lines were long (average about 80 mins) for the big rides on our last visit but it was the day after a holiday, when we’re gone in the last the lines have been under 60 mins mostly. Wide walkways and abundant snack and food locations make this park a true gem. It’s easy to get everywhere and the low cost of treats and merch makes it a really lovely outing. Easy to get to via train from Tokyo station on the Keiyo line

Beautiful place with lots of fun experiences. Great for kids and lovers of animation. However the waiting time almost makes it a waste. To really enjoy both Disneyland and Disney sea, you need to purchase the express ticket. Otherwise you end up having just 2 or 3 experiences overall.

Had a great time at Tokyo DisneySea! Got there around 8:50AM and managed to get in pretty quickly when the park opened at 9AM. Definitely recommend getting your tickets ahead of time and having the Disney Resort app on your phone for access to maps and wait times. Priority passes can only be purchased after your ticket has been scanned, which is why so many people show up early. These passes go fast, so check for some of the popular rides soon after getting into the park to save yourself some long wait times. If you want to go to both parks, split it up between two days if possible. Also know that there is a good distance between the entrances so taking the monorail is a must if you have to go to both in one day. Tickets to ride the monorail do cost money, so I recommend having cash on hand. I didn't have a Suica card, but that would likely work, too. Of the two parks, DisneySea was my favorite. There are so many details to keep an eye out for. It was absolutely gorgeous, rides were great, and I would love to go again.

The wait-time to enter wasn’t bad at all. However, I do recommend arriving when they open to allow time to enter and get the fast passes. I arrived around 10am and all the fast passes were taken. Lines were long for the rides and restaurants as usual, but I was impressed by the rides, detail, food, etc. I had a much better experience in Tokyo than the other locations. It’s so much cleaner with such friendly staff. I recommend it!

Absolutely loved our day at Tokyo DisneySea! The park is stunning — every detail feels magical and unique. The attractions are so creative, and the shows were amazing. Even the food was surprisingly good for a theme park! The place is super clean and well organized, and the staff are always so friendly and polite. Definitely one of the best Disney parks I’ve ever been to. Highly recommend visiting at least once in your life!

Disney is Disney! Line up was nuts! More than an hour at the very least on the more famous rides. We obviously didn’t pay 20$ to skip because we think it’s not worth it to pay $20 per person with 11 people in the family! Details on everything is perfect though! They kept the high standards and good quality from the buildings, from the tiniest detail to largest and also the staff! They were friendly and respectful to guests! The rides were good! Fireworks. Meh! If you’ve been to Disneyland or world, the fireworks here is probably like 1/4 of what the other parks have. Not worth the stay and stop to watch fireworks. I’d rather just continue with the rides and check out the stores.

Amazing time at Disney sea, would definitely come again only problem is the wait times which usually take about more than two hours, but if you get lucky, you could buy the fast pass which runs about $20 or less. Food here is amazing. very affordable. Even the toys and hats that’s what she wants. Tell her we’re not are very affordable.

More grown up than Disneyland. The rides are bigger, more bold. The queues are equally as long as Disneyland. Be smart and pay for the priority access passes. Book these as soon as you enter the park, and then set an alarm for 60mins later. My advice is to join the smallest queue you can find and do something you wouldn't normally do. We had such a great day !! And I feel like we've only seen half the park.

It’s really magical,beautiful place wonderful experience on rides.must visit rides “Tower of terror”, ”indiana johns adventure” , raging sprit 360degree loop , Disney sea electric railway , Nemo and friends searider, aquatopia,these are most visited rides. I went on halloween and there was a show on Halloween that was great. but the fire works were okey okey not amazing. Please buy tickets in advance also please plan for either Disneysea or Disneyland in a day.

I visited this aquarium over the weekend with my girlfriend during our trip to Japan. While we truly enjoyed seeing the adorable little penguins and the vibrant goldfish, the overall experience fell short of expectations. The facility itself is quite compact, and the number of exhibits feels limited, especially when considering the relatively high ticket price. In terms of value, it may not offer as much as other aquariums of similar cost. That said, there are a few highlights. The beautifully displayed jellyfish create a calming and visually stunning atmosphere. Additionally, the location is extremely convenient—perfect for those already planning a visit to Tokyo Skytree. A pleasant stop if you’re in the area, but perhaps not a destination worth prioritizing on its own.

Spent a few hours here while waiting to check-in to our hotel and it was a fun time! Place is kind of small compared to other aquariums I've been to... but i think it's still worth it because of the penguins and jellyfishes!! Especially loved the display of the life stage of moon jellies! Gift shop at the exit also has tons of items you can buy as souvenirs!

Visited Sumida Aquarium inside Tokyo Skytree Town on a breezy afternoon, and it felt like stepping into an underwater dream. The place is modern, sleek, and surprisingly peaceful despite being in such a busy spot. What really makes it special is how close you can get to the tanks—no crowded barriers, just glass and glowing blue light wrapping around you. Even if your kids don’t understand Japanese, they’ll love it here—most of the exhibits are visual and interactive, from the elegant jellyfish drifting like slow-motion fireworks to the playful penguins splashing around in their open-air pool. The layout flows beautifully, with soft lighting and gentle music that make you want to linger at every corner. There’s a small café where you can rest with a Skytree view, and the souvenir shop has some of the cutest ocean-themed gifts in Tokyo. It’s not the biggest aquarium, but every detail feels thoughtful and calm—more like an art gallery of sea life. Perfect for families or couples looking for a relaxing, beautifully designed aquarium—especially convenient if you’re already visiting Tokyo Skytree!

Wonderfull place. Many different sea and ocean species. Very good placed Aquarius. Many lovers meet there for a date! You may be not decided but honestly you wont regret if you try it! I even had more fun than at other attractions, or shops there. For me just bullseye!!!

An aquarium I chose to visit for their jellyfish displays which were quite beautiful and showcased many rare varieties. Overall I would not visit again. The lower ranking is due to the high price of the aquarium combined with the unethical display of their goldfish and the small selection of display. Goldfish require something in their tank to move around and hide behind or they become stressed so I’m curious to know how long theirs live for. They had fewer species of penguin than the other aquariums I’ve visited in Tokyo and the rest of Japan and that seemed to be one of their main attractions. They had an attendant with a small cute stamp of the garden eels and I requested to put it in my book of stamps I’ve collected around Japan. They were stingy and unwilling to allow me to have the attendant use the stamp in my personal book. I decided not to purchase anything in the gift shop because of this clear stinginess though I always like to purchase something to remember aquariums as they are one of my favourite attractions.

Sumida Aquarium is definitely worth the visit. It’s well priced and the animals are super cute and you can tell they are well maintained here. Although the aquarium is kind of small compared to others, it’s got a lot of nice exhibits and being under the Tokyo Skytree makes it convenient to visit both in the same day. The gift shop is decently priced and the gacha are really cool.

If you are at the Skytree location I would recommend to also visit the Sumida Aquarium too. Was a very nice experience. I have seen sea-animals which i havent seen in that way. Especially the jelly fishes where amazing. The price for a single person to enter was 2500 Yen. I stayed in line 20 - 30 minutes. I went there in July on a really hot day (35 °C).

Great place to very briefly introduce young children to different types of jobs and basic concepts of earning, saving, and spending money. 80+ 30 minute experiences for kids to explore. They were thoughtful enough to include food and a parents only lounge when you want to recharge a bit.

A Must-Do for Families in Tokyo! Our visit to KidZania Tokyo was an absolute highlight for our family. We have three children (10, 8, and 4), and every single one of them had a blast and loved every job they tried. The attention to detail in the miniature city is just incredible. We specifically went on an "English Wednesday," which I can't recommend highly enough for visiting families. The staff were phenomenal—so patient, energetic, and amazing with the kids. We were thrilled to find there were many fluent English speakers available who helped our children feel comfortable and fully engaged in all the activities. A few tips for your visit: Get there early to check in and maximize your time. You should definitely plan to stay for the whole shift, as the time flies by. My understanding of the booking system is that you can pre-register for one or two popular jobs, as long as their times don't overlap. The best strategy is to fill the waiting time between your booked sessions with the many jobs that don't require a reservation. This way, the kids are always busy and having fun. It was a fantastic, well-organized, and memorable day for everyone!

Great attraction kids really loved this place. Well though out and well run activities. We booked the Wednesday which is the English speaking day but were a bit dissapointed that approx 50% of the jobs were not in English. My sons first job was on the Komatsu bulldozer with 3 other English speaking kids and 1 Japanese kid, and there was only a Japanese speaking staff member. My son and the other 2 kids had to read instructions on a card and understand by sign language. After this we realised it's only English speaking if there is an "E" on that job. This ruled out about 50% of the jobs. It was still a good place to take the kids a day they really liked it.

An amazing experience and a highlight of our daughter's trip to Tokyo. The variety of fun and educational activities was fantastic. We were initially concerned about the language barrier, but the staff were incredible. One team member truly went above and beyond to guide our non-Japanese-speaking daughter, ensuring she felt included and could participate fully. This made our time here just perfect. Highly recommended for any family visiting the city!

This place is by far the best place for kids. They can basically do anything like an adult can do. They can go to the bank. They can be a firefighter. They can be a policeman. They can be anything which is really awesome for them. They can be really independent. I would recommend this place over disney land. They get paid for doing activities that earn the money and then they can pay for activities that are fun. They can make a hamburger at mosburger. They can make ice cream at ice cream shop they can make hi chew. Adults just have one job. Take photos. Reservations can be made for each activity to avoid wait lines.

Recommended by a friend. At first I was skeptical about this place and whether my 9 year old daughter would like it. We accidently bought the English Tour tickets which were 10x more expensive than regular tickets so quickly cancelled them and got regular Klook tickets instead. We went on a Wednesday where some staff spoke English. Arrived at 730am, there were about 20 people ahead of us. Place opened up around 830am...we went for our first Candy making activity (one of the most popular activities where you make Hi Chews). Some activities that involve making food or activity, you get to take the food or activity (soap) home. We don't understand Japanese but the staff were helpful and kids are abkd to follow along. There were many activities in English (marked with letter "E")-see photo. We completed 7 jobs by 3pm. We had a blast. Highly recommend this place. Its well organized once you figure out how it works. There are LED TV screens that tell you what activities are currently available. Recommend asking your child to pick a few activities they want to try and prioritize them first.

This review is for foreigners/visitors and includes some tips before visiting. This was our first time here. It's a great place for kids ages 4 to 14 to explore and experience different types of careers. Even though it's crowded, the place is organized and clean. All the staff are very nice. I would say this place is worth visiting at least twice to experience most of the jobs. The following are some tips if you don't speak Japanese: 1. You can buy tickets on their website ahead of time. Wednesday is the day when staff who speak English are available. It's worth booking on a Wednesday for a smoother experience. They have two time slots you can reserve. You can also book a premium English tour, which I believe includes a dedicated tour guide. 2. We took the Tokyo subway. KidZania is on the 3rd floor in the corner of the shopping mall. If you are going for the morning shift (9:00 AM – 3:00 PM), the shopping mall doesn't open until 10:00 AM. So once you get to the mall, you'll need to enter from the ground or 1st floor and walk across the mall. The 2nd and 3rd floors are not open yet. You'll see staff waiting in a bag-checking area. 3. To sign up for jobs, your kids will take a paper schedule and reserve a time slot. Very Important: Once you reserve a time slot—say 12:00 PM for policeman—you can't reserve any job that starts after 12:00 PM. However, you can reserve a job that starts before 12:00 PM, as long as it finishes before that time. For example, a bakery job might start at 11:00 AM and take around 40 minutes to complete. Most of the jobs are fun regardless, so I suggest letting your kids explore and try things they’ve never done. It’s okay if they miss out on a few jobs. Once you finish your 12:00 PM job, then you can go and sign up for jobs that are available after that, for example 1 PM job as a frozen food R&D. 4. Most jobs run around 35 to 50 minutes. But there are also part-time jobs available—like postman—which only take 10 to 15 minutes. 5. Each job has a sign outside or nearby. The top of the sign lists the time slots, how many kids can participate, how long the job takes, the suggested age, and how much money they can earn. Some jobs have a second sign below with information about part-time jobs. Also, some jobs involve real food ingredients—please check the allergy information carefully. 6. Please note that some jobs are only available to Japanese speakers, such as magazine editor. Unfortunately, if you don’t speak Japanese, you won’t be able to do these. 7. Once your kids earn money from jobs, they can either spend it at the department store (in the center of the venue) and shopping alley, or they can save it at the bank and receive a credit card. Remember, getting ice-cream is an experience that require a timeslot to sign up also! 8. Many kids want to drive the car, but they must pass a DMV test before they can sign up. I noticed that the driving activity still had availability near the end of the shift because many people didn’t take the DMV test in time. 9. If you like soccer, be sure to check out the soccer stadium—the jersey and magazine cover look really cool. My kids were able to experience game developer, stock investor, police, dentist, postman, pilot, bakery, and subway. Overall, they love the place and had a great time. Hope this review helps!

This place is tiny and you could walk through in under an hour, but overall it was pretty chill. It feels very communal and informal because it’s a free zoo you can just walk into, but they have some pretty neat animals despite that. I was just personally underwhelmed because it was so much smaller than I expected, so just know it’s a small place. Still fun though and I’d recommend it if you’re interested/in the area.

It's a free zoo! And most of the animals were quite active despite the rain. I really enjoy walking around the zoo and the surrounding parks. As others mentioned, it was small. We stayed a little more than an hour as we found the animals interesting to watch.

I came here late Jan, on the weekday. The zoo is a small cute place, inside the park. And free. I think it's worth to visit for a chill day

I give 5 stars to this small zoo which is free for all. The park is lush green with streams of water having many colorful fish… highly recommend to visit if you are staying nearby

The zoo is free but it is very very small with narrow/small area for both animals and visitors. Suitable for residents of the surrounding area but not really worth going for tourists.

A pleasant little zoo, free entry, and wonderful staff, if you’re in the area and have a little bit of time to pass it’s definitely worth checking out.

This was an amazing gem of a place just steps from my hotel. It was a beautiful place to walk and enjoy the animals. Even though the park is free don’t overlook the donation boxes at the park entrance and exit as you will surely want to support this amazing place.

This park was small but it’s very relaxing. It has a pond, a small covered waiting area and lots of trees. There’s also a baseball courts nearby where you can see happy students playing. We actually stayed there for few hours until we headed back to our hotel.

I finally returned after more than 5 years. This time I was able to visit the zoo because the last time I went ( pre-pandemic ) it was closed because it was a Monday. The zoo has free admission. Restrooms are available. The animals seem well-cared for. There are penguins, anteaters, wallabies, monkeys and others. It's a popular spot with the locals, it seems.

Very compact and comfortable outdoor for a half day out with couple and children must visit

Large and beautiful park. Peaceful for walk and relax. Great place for childrens. Also you can have some nice photography with nature. Washroom available.

A beautiful medium sized traditional Japanese-themed park. Has a free zoo to visit which is good to bring your children. The scenery is so vividly green in spring.

It is best park in Edogawa-ku.Good facilities for kids.Atmosphere is friendly.Zoo is well maintained. Old Citizens are enjoying fishing.Nice small lake.Good playground.You can spend two three hours with full enjoyment.

Small garden in Nishikasai city. Every year in summer is having a matsuri (festival) for Goldfishes. Edogawa is famous for Goldfish and you can bring here to catch with your kids some fishes. Lovely and very living event. I really enjoyed going there. You can also buy fishes or accessories for your aquarium and eat some matsuri food.

Most underrated thing in Tokyo! This is well worth a visit. Intricate miniature models, many with interactive buttons you can press. The airport is the attention grabbing highlight but there is lots more besides. Truly the work of dedicated enthusiasts, and probably the most advanced 'model world' type of attraction in the world. We went in the afternoon and there were no lines at all. Stress-free, enjoyable and interesting, and uniquely Japanese in content too.

I didn’t know what to expect and it was amazing. It is an interactive miniature world. The level of detail in the models is very impressive. The airport is simply breathtaking. In the larger models they have cities so you can see it from the middle and these are worth entering (they are a little tight but I joined the kids to get the unique vantage point). Visit this place, you’ll be happy you did.

We originally planned to come here five years ago on our very first trip to Japan but never managed to find the time. This year we just happened to be near enough to it that we saw the building, remembered it, and decided to actually go there this time. Honestly it turned out to be one of the coolest places we ever visited. The dioramas have such wonderful attention to detail in them, and the artists clearly have a sense of humour with some of the little hidden (or not so hidden) details in the sets! You can also see the workshop where they make them and many of the exhibits have interactive elements that highlight and animate certain details in the models. Fantastic place for all ages, young and old.

Really cool place. The miniatures are all highly detailed and very awesome to look at. And it's not like these miniature sets are completely still. There are tons of moving parts. As an example, the rocket and space shuttle in the space center area even take off into the ceiling! Also this place is a must visit for aviation nerds and Evangelion fans. There's a big recreation of the Kansai international airport with model planes that even take off. The Evangelion part of the place has a place where the EVA units get launched into the city! Very cool place

Such beautiful detail in all of the miniatures. I was able to get very close and take many perspective photos without any issues. Not overbearing and not crowded. I was never rushed. Price is reasonable for the numerous features and the food from the dining area was tasty.

SMALL WORLDS Miniature Museum (stylized “SMALL WORLDS”) opened in 2020 in Ariake, Kōtō-ku.  It’s one of the largest miniature museums in Asia, covering about 7,000 square meters.  The museum features dioramas (miniature worlds) with both real-world and fantasy/anime themes, interactive elements like buttons, moving vehicles, sound & light effects, and even workshops and a “figure making” program.

We were in the area and decided to come here last minute. It was bigger than I expected and a lot of things were interactive and very detailed which was amazing. Even the interior of things were so well designed. If you really take your time to look around then it’s worth a visit to come here.

If you are into cute items, the mall has good selection of cafes, sweets and anime products (including Medicom/Medicos action figure). Pokémon center is less busy compared to Ikebukuro, when we went in Oct, there was ongoing oktoberfest. At floor 4 near Jump and Pokémon there is a store selling fresh strawberry and coffee milk which we really like, including Yuzu Powder/Salt which is pretty rare to find.

This is my first mall experience in Japan. My child asked to go to the mall, and it turns out there's a Tokyo Skytree here that attracts many tourists. The mall has a concept with quite a few open areas, but there are also many great shops inside

The World Beer Museum alone, makes it worth a visit, with over 100 taps of beer Retain your planetarium ticket for a discount

There are two observation areas on 30F and 31F which are free and open to public. They offer great views of Tokyo Skytree and the cityscape. This place wasn’t crowded when I visited before sunset. Would recommend giving it a visit.

Great mall with lots of shopping options and even a walk in optometrist! We visited during a beer festival, so there were also German food stalls outside and we had a lovely meal

Tokyo Solamachi is a shopper's paradise. This bustling hub offers a treasure of Tokyo's latest trends, from fashion and souvenirs to delicious eats. With Asakusa's historic charm as its backdrop, Solamachi is the perfect blend of old and new Tokyo.

View @ Tokyo Solamachi. . A large shopping, dining, and entertainment complex at the base of the Tokyo Skytree and Sumida Aquarium, housing over 300 shops. . Seemingly endless walking, so many things to see.

Kasai Rinkai Park is a very beautiful and spacious park with plenty to do for all ages. It is well connected with its own station, making it easy to access, and also has a huge parking area for those driving. The park features designated barbecue spaces, fishing spots, and long running paths that make it ideal for outdoor activities. There is also an observatory and a large Ferris wheel that give great views of the area. With so much to explore, you can easily spend three to four hours here just walking around and enjoying the natural surroundings.

If you want to spend some quality time with family, you should come here. You can come here by bus or train. Upon arrival, there is a beautiful water show. Within the street side of the park, you can find food, toilets. You can also enjoy the surroundings by a train which runs on the street, basically for kids. On the seaside, you can bring your tent or own sitting arrangements and enjoy the sea. Also,if you want to go nearer to the sea, there is a bridge open towards the small island type portion opened till 5pm. You can do barbecue parties by reservation. There is a big ferris wheel, the biggest I've ever seen, under 800yen (I forgot the actual price). There is a few rides too for kids. Big parking area makes it easier to come by car. Overall, a very nice place.

This is an aquarium run by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Of course, you can just enjoy the incredible fish, but what really stands out are things like the feeding times, instructors immediately answering kids' questions, and even an exhibit showing actual trash found in Tokyo Bay. It's a fantastic place for building awareness about environmental issues and fostering respect for nature.

It’s a beautiful park by the Tokyo bay. There are many different functions for different people. I mainly came to watch their designated areas for birds watching. The directions to the area from the entrance were very clear. There were about 5 to 6 areas but there were not many birds in fact. The last place gathered more professional photographers using their telescope lens but variety of birds were limited.

Very nice park you can enjoy with your family, you can ride the steel wheel to see Tokyo, also there's birds sanctuary, it's a nice park but my advise is to make this visit to the last as it's not expressing Tokyo

Tokyo Sea Life Park was free to public on 10/10/2025 for its 36th anniversary. Good little getaway from Tokyo!

Amazing place, the atmosphere was really nice and relaxing. Was not too crowded on a Thursday morning. Spent about 2-3 hours there including lunch and a ferris wheel ride. Would definitely picnic there if I were to visit again.

The Tokyo Metro Museum is a fantastic destination for train enthusiasts and families alike! The exhibits are incredibly detailed and interactive, making it both educational and fun for all ages. I was especially impressed by the life-size train models and simulators that let you experience being a driver—it felt so realistic! The museum does a great job of showcasing the history and technology behind Tokyo’s iconic subway system. Staff members were friendly and helpful, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re a railfan or just curious about how the metro works, this museum is well worth a visit. Highly recommend setting aside a few hours to explore everything it has to offer!

The Tokyo Metro Museum is an underrated gem and a fantastic value at just ¥220. There’s a surprising amount to see and do for the price, tons of interesting information that never feels overwhelming, along with interactive exhibits and old trains you can actually step inside. Some even let you play around with the controls, which is a blast. One of the highlights is the train simulator. It’s in Japanese only, so it might be a bit tricky if you don’t speak the language, but when I visited, an attendant kindly guided me through it, and it was a really fun experience. If you’re still in train nerd mode after that, check out the rest area with gacha machines. all train themed and then pop into the small gift shop. It’s mostly geared toward kids but still has a few fun items for adults too.

A little out of the way, but really amazing museum for train fans. It's smaller than the rail museum in Omiya, but a little easier to get to, and much less crowded (even on a weekday). There are tons of exhibits on the history, how subways are constructed, interactive exhibits for kids, etc.

Brilliant day out. The best bit was the metro simulator. Loved driving the train. So pleased we didn't have kids with us.... we would have had to share. It is worthwhile waiting to see the miniature train set working. The times are on a board by the display.

It's perfect. We enjoyed going here. It's not that big of a museum, but you will learn a lot about trains and how they work. There's an English translation, too, so it's okay for foreigners. Please do visit this place. There are kind Japanese workers here who will be happy to help you out with the train simulators and other things. Kids will have fun too, they can get inside different trains, like the real names of trains. We went here with my students and they all enjoyed

Plenty fun for a low price! There’s even a metro simulator experience where you pretend you’re the driver responsible to get people to work / home on time in a retired metro / subway carriage. Great value and worth seeing. It does also have some English translations on some exhibits too. Not to be confused with the railway museum, which are about trains (such as the Shinkansen and some JR lines with the pretend to be a driver experience outdoors). This is the Metro (Ginza line for example in an indoor simulated experience).

If you're thinking of someplace to bring your younger children but don't want to spend too much, come here. Adult tickets cost 220yen and child tickets at only 100yen. They get to learn about the trains in Japan and may even try the simulation.

I ate here on December 1, 2024 and I just arrived to japan with some friends and I decided to come here because I loved it from my last years trip. Now I am here writing a day later and im here to tell you to never eat at this location. I gotten severe food poisoning from ordering the pork cutlet with rice. Never in my life I felt so much pain after eating at this location. Not just me,, everyone in my friends groups gotten really sick. We will go somewhere else if I want coco's again. Be aware if anyone does come to this location.

I feel bad for the waitress, we were a family of five who tried to sit at a table too small for us, and she had to move us. Some of us were not gracious about it. She was very accommodating and her English was excellent. Food was the usual CoCo curry fare, and tasted fine.

Wonderful chill atmosphere. Very friendly and patient staff. My friends and I couldn’t speak any Japanese but the staff were very helpful in guiding us through the ordering process. If you’re a foreigner who thinks they can handle spice try Lv5 first.

Nice and Friendly Staff. Food is superb ⭐️

Best hand made tonkatsu ever

(Translated by Google) 2024.12 This is my first visit to Cocoichi. In the first place, it was my first visit to Cocoichi in several years, even if I included other stores. It seems like the price has gone up somehow? I ate it with stewed chicken, tuna, and 1 spiciness, and it felt like coco ichi curry, and it was consistently delicious. The lineup of beef curry has increased, so I decided to try the beef curry series next time I visit. (Original) 2024.12 ここのココイチは初訪問です そもそも他の店舗入れても数年ぶりのココイチ訪問になりました なんとなく値段が上がったような？ チキン煮込み、ツナ、1辛で食べましたが、やはりココイチカレーという感じで、安定した美味しさでした ビーフカレーのラインナップが増えてましたので、次回訪問するならビーフカレーシリーズにしようと思いました

(Translated by Google) The store is calm, but the lighting inside is very dark, making it uncomfortable. Also, be careful as there is a step in front of the entrance cash register. The curry itself has a stable taste. I always wish the price was a little more reasonable. Today's choice is scrambled egg curry + hamburger topping. The scrambled egg curry is similar to the omelet curry from a rival restaurant, but this one has a fluffier texture. November 2024 Cocoichi's cost performance has also deteriorated considerably. This cutlet curry is 1000 yen. Thanks to this, there are many empty seats in the restaurant even at lunchtime. ``Tobispi Spice'', which had disappeared from the table for a while, has returned. (Original) 落ち着いた店内だが、店内照明が非常に暗く、居心地が悪い。また入口レジ前に段差があるので要注意。 カレー自体は安定の味。もう少し価格がリーズナブルだったらなあ、といつも思う。 今日のチョイスは、スクランブルエッグカレー＋ハンバーグトッピング。 スクランブルエッグカレーは某ライバル店のオムレツカレーに似ているが、ふわふわ感はこっちが勝っている。 2024年11月 ココイチも随分コスパが悪くなったものだ。このカツカレーが1000円。おかげで昼時も店内は空席が目立つ。 一時テーブルから消えていた「とび辛スパイス」が復活していた。

Nice place to visit during summer. There’s a nice water fountain. Kids really enjoyed. Water fountain is till 4pm and works only on summer

Cool park but the water features were not open at 1545 on 6/23.

There is a waterfall and shallow pond that are great for kids to play. There is no water in winter

Wonderful place for kids to enjoy in this hot weather, the only thing that is no car parking near the park you have to park in the parking lot of Life super Mart

Kids aged 2-10 will love its free outer pool in summer

If u have kids, it's the great place for them. U will b v tired after running after kids though.

Getting crowded at 10am☺️

Nice garden and well maintained park. A good hangout place with family and children. Best to go by own car or bicycle the station is bit far, you need to take a bus even if you commute by train. Sakura trees 🌸 Good enough space and play zone for children. Rest rooms are well maintained even on weekends during rush hours. A 2 mins horse ride for children, for free of cost.

Pony ride is free. Lines are long. They allow babies (<1-1.5) to touch and feel the horses

Beautiful park with ponies and pretty flowers.

Beautiful park

One of the best spots for kids to play and enjoy. It’s beautiful during the Sakura season, awesome cherry blossoms 🌸 and plum blossom could be enjoyed. It has a pony land and sports ground for students to play and enjoy.

Wonderful place to enjoy the sunny day with kids. Don’t forget to bring some outdoor toys with you!! Free pony ride and active play area worth your time.

Beautiful park with lots of good places for picnics, playing or enjoying the outdoors. Well landscaped, lots of parking, even free pony rides for the kiddos if you time it right! i

Very nostalgic and it was a great to be on set in this park where a famous drama was

Beautiful little park situated within residential area.

It's a nice park for kids. Spring time is good with sakura trees. There is a good water fountain too.

Peaceful park with many kids

A nice place to walk with❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It was fun!!!

Beautiful

Beautiful and really clean area. It’s a perfect place to take a stroll or have a picnic. Make sure to come here during sunset, the view is amazing. However, I wish it wouldn’t close so early though (5PM)

Not brilliant. Obviously you can’t jump in the water but the park around it is tranquil and it’s good to get a glimpse of the large horizon once in a while when in Tokyo.

Awesome for a stroll and great views of Tokyo bay. On a clear day you can see Mt Fuji. What sucks is it closes at 5pm.

the swallow passage for local boats to travel by. there is a water police station along the bank, sometimes they would stop you and check you licence

could use some better water fountains- how about water bottle filling stations?

Great place for kids and bbq

Very good place to walk fresh air

Quiet & peaceful getaway near Nishiarai Station

quiet a big park with calm environment

(Translated by Google) It's a park that lives up to its name. Since it's right in front of the station, I think it would be nice to have some more play equipment. Play equipment includes swings, health play equipment, toilets, clocks, and running water. There are no children. Only one has wheels from the Tobu line. (Original) 名前負けしてる公園です。駅前なのでもう少し遊具が有ってもいいかなぁと。遊具はブランコ、健康遊具でトイレ、時計、水道あります。子供達はいません。唯一は東武線の車輪があります。

(Translated by Google) It's very clear that this park is the site of an abandoned railway line. The former Tobu Line tracks between Nishiarai and Kita-Senju have been turned into a road, and the adjacent land is a park with wheels on display. The park and street names even include "train." The current Arakawa River is an artificial river. A large river was dug to prevent flooding. The previous route had to be changed. The cramped curve between Ushida and Horikiri is also a result of the Yoginakusare. The Nishiarai-Kita-Senju section crossed the Arakawa River at an angle, so the current route was created by the Yoginakusare to shorten the distance between bridges. Kameda Train Street, which runs in front of this park and Umeda Street, which is separated by the 9th Municipal Junior High School, are the former Tobu Line tracks. (Original) 廃線跡なのがとても判りやすい公園です。 東武線の西新井‐北千住間の軌道敷跡が道路になっており、隣接地が公園になっており車輪が展示されています。公園の名前や通りの名前にも　トレイン　がつけられています。 今の荒川は人工河川です。洪水対策で大きな川幅の川を掘りました。前から引かれていた路線は変更を余儀なくされました。牛田‐堀切間が窮屈に曲っているのもヨギナクサレです。 西新井‐北千住間は荒川を斜めに通っていたので、橋の距離を短くするためヨギナクサレで今の経路になりました。 この公園前を通る　亀田トレイン通り と 区立第九中学校で分断された先の　梅田通り　が、かつての東武線軌道敷です。

(Translated by Google) This is the site of the Tobu Railway Nishiarai factory. In the 1960s, it was called ``Denshako'' (train depot). The area where the wheel monument is now located is the main gate, the main gate is across from the Panasonic electronics store, and the entire park grounds were home to the factory's offices, cafeteria, and bathhouse. Opposite the drug store and 7-Eleven, the railroad tracks leading from the station to the depot cross the road, and when trains pass, the factory deploys gates to restrict traffic. The main line is now a double-track elevated track, but at the time it was double-track, above ground, and had a level crossing. On the north side of the park, on the other side of the railroad tracks, there were many fields and the scenery was relaxing. There are no traces of those days anymore, and I feel nostalgic. (Original) 東武鉄道西新井工場の跡地です。 昭和40年代、『でんしゃこ（電車庫）』と言っていました。 今、車輪のモニュメントが置かれている辺りが通用門、正門はパナソニックの電気屋さんの向いに有り、公園の敷地一帯は工場の事務所や食堂、浴場が有りました。 ドラッグストア、セブンイレブンの向いは駅から車庫に通じる線路が道路を横切っていて、電車が通る際は工場の方が門を展開して通行規制していました。 本線は今は複々線の高架になっていますが、当時は複線で地上に有って踏切が有りました。 公園の北側、線路の向こう側は田畑が多く、のんびりした風景でした。 当時の面影が無くなり、懐かしさが募ります。

(Translated by Google) In the past, Tobu Railway's Nishiarai factory and vehicle inspection area was located here. It is thought that it was made as a proof of that memory. There is a monument of a railway wheel. Behind it are paved stones with a motif of rails and sleepers. If I had to be greedy, I would have liked to have the vehicle itself, with the front cut out. The strange curved road on the south (west) side was there before, and the wide road on the north side was created as a result of land readjustment. Children from nearby kindergartens are having fun in the square. (Original) 昔、東武鉄道の西新井工場･検車区があったところ。その記憶の証として、作られたと思われます。鉄道車輪のモニュメントが、置かれています。その後方には、レールと枕木のモチーフで、敷石されています。欲を言えば、車輌本体、前面カットしたものでも良いから、置いて欲しかったです。 南側(西側)の変なカーブの道が前からあったもの、北側の広目の道路が、区画整理によってできたものです。 広場は、近くの園児たちが楽しんでいます。

(Translated by Google) It seems to have been the site of the Tobu Railway, and there is a simple panel photo explanation and wheels on display. The only play equipment for children is a swing and a low horizontal bar. The health play equipment (hanging rods, chairs for stretching out) and seats were prominent, so I thought it was designed more for the elderly than for children. (Original) 東武鉄道の跡地だったらしく、簡単なパネル寫眞での説明と車輪が展示してある。子供の遊具は少なくブランコと低めの鉄棒。健康遊具（ぶら下がり棒、体を伸ばす用の椅子）と座席が目立つので、子供向けと言うより老人向けに設計されていると思った。
