We explore some of the city’s most famous spots—including Shibuya Crossing, Shinjuku Gyoen, and Takeshita Street in Harajuku. But we don’t just stick to the tourist trail. We also venture off the beaten path to discover kid-friendly activities, local neighborhoods, and hidden gems that most travelers never see.
