    A great place to spend the whole day in. Was fortunate that there were the Christmas light up during during my visit and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Always a huge crowd for the rides.

    We visited Tokyo Disneyland at the end of November. It wasn't a peak season Tuesday, but it was still quite crowded. You need to download the Tokyo Disney Resort App; it shows the map and real-time queue times for each attraction, which is very useful. It was our first time at Tokyo Disneyland, and with two kids, we didn't consider anything too thrilling or with queues longer than 30 minutes. Even so, a few shows, two parades, and some smaller rides filled our day. The only downside is that it gets dark very early in Japan in autumn; the sun sets at 4:30 pm. We were disappointed to miss the 5 pm light show and fireworks. The English of the park staff was also limited, and there was probably a communication misunderstanding. I thought the 8:30 pm fireworks were the must-see, so I didn't pay much attention to them and missed them. The 8:30 pm fireworks were quite beautiful, but they only lasted 5 minutes. Without the light show on the castle's exterior, the experience was just so-so. It's worth mentioning that almost all the interactive exhibits were in Japanese, which can be confusing for those who don't understand Japanese. The children's experience was average. Next time, we'll prioritize visiting Disneyland in areas where English or Mandarin is spoken, allowing the children more opportunities to participate. The prices are reasonable, and the themed restaurants are quite beautiful. I specifically checked, and you can bring your own snacks, fruit, water bottles, etc. Water can be filled for free, but lunchboxes and similar items are not allowed. Park ticket prices vary depending on the time of day and weekends, so you need to check in advance. Taking the subway and then the train from Asakusa was very convenient; it's about a 6-minute walk. There's also a special Disney miniature train there, which requires a separate ticket but goes directly there. First, you queue for security, then for ticket inspection, so it's best to arrive early to avoid crowds. Many people bring picnic mats to wait for the parades and light shows and fireworks, which require arriving at least half an hour early. Although it takes a while, it's definitely worth seeing.

    Aquarium is amazing and well maintained, my only problem were people who kept taping on glass and sticking their faces bothering fishes. There should be sign that glass should not be touched (especially for all grown up people who were doing it)

    There is a large park surrounding the castle, perfect for a pleasant walk. The castle is a popular tourist destination, so it’s best to plan your visit in advance, as there are often long queues. Unfortunately, the interior has not preserved its historical appearance and now resembles an office building from the late 1990s. Inside, there are small exhibitions, but photography is not allowed. From the castle roof, you can enjoy a picturesque view of the city and the park below.

    Near the subway station, there's a locker inside that refunds your money after use. The lockers outside charge a fee unless you have large luggage. Take off your shoes, go in, get a wristband, choose a yukata (light cotton robe) to change into, and then you can play. There are gashapon (capsule toy) machines inside. If you're not particularly hungry, I suggest eating outside; there are several restaurants nearby. Eating inside is a bit more expensive and has fewer choices. When you leave, use your wristband to pay.
