Tokyo Prep (Part 2): Places to Visit in Tokyo

While conducting my research for our upcoming trip and realising that we can't possibly go to all the awesome destinations in Tokyo (time is limited and we've got kids and a senior with us), I've decided to compile a list of good places to visit in Tokyo. Tokyo is such a beautiful city with so many things to do!

As I've never been to Tokyo before (not out of the airport at least), I'm relying on my friends and fellow parent bloggers to help me out (thanks guys!) =)

Most, if not all, of these places have been tried and tested by parents so you can be sure that they are kid-friendly. Without further ado, here we go...
