Tokyo's Parks, Gardens, Temples, and Shrines
Join us on a full day adventure in the bustling city of Tokyo, Japan.

We then went Shibuya, taking two trains - one subway and one above the ground train. Navigating the complex train system in Tokyo can be a bit daunting, but with Google Maps and our new Pasmo Passports in hand, we were able to breeze through the stations hassle-free.
Our next stop was Kiddy ...
