In Tokyo: Disney, Harry Potter and Sanrio Puroland

• Tokyo Disney Resort (Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea) is at Maihama, just east of central Tokyo. A 1-Day Passport is for one park on one date. Adults start from ¥8,900, and most days cost more. Tickets go on sale two months ahead, from 2:00 pm Japan time, so buy early for weekends and holidays. See our Tokyo Disney tickets guide.
• Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo (Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo – The Making of Harry Potter) is 2 minutes on foot from Toshimaen Station, about 17 minutes from Ikebukuro on the Seibu Line or 20 minutes from Shinjuku on the Toei Oedo Line. Tickets are for a set date and time, from ¥6,600 for adults, and the official site recommends allowing 3 to 4 hours. See our Harry Potter Studio Tour guide.
• Sanrio Puroland, the indoor home of Hello Kitty, is at Tama Center, about 30 minutes from Shinjuku by Keio Line limited express. You need both a ticket and a visit reservation. Counter prices are ¥3,900 to ¥6,900 for adults, and buying online in advance is cheaper. See our Sanrio Puroland guide.

Indoor fun in Odaiba: Joypolis and LEGOLAND

Both are inside DECKS Tokyo Beach in Odaiba, so they make a good rainy-day plan.

• Tokyo Joypolis is an indoor amusement park. Entry alone is ¥1,700 for adults, with rides extra, or ¥6,000 for a Passport with unlimited rides. An evening passport is ¥5,000. Adults 60 and over and children under 7 enter free. See our Joypolis guide.
• LEGOLAND Discovery Center Tokyo is made for younger children. Online tickets are ¥2,350 to ¥3,300 depending on the date, up to 30% cheaper than at the door, and children under 3 are free. Adults must come with a child, except at special Adult Night events. See our LEGOLAND guide.

Day trips: Fuji-Q Highland, Edo Wonderland and Tobu World Square

• Fuji-Q Highland, at the foot of Mt. Fuji, is famous for its roller coasters. Entry is free with a free admission ticket; you pay for rides or buy an unlimited-ride pass, whose price changes by date. Take a highway bus from Tokyo, or the train via JR Otsuki and the Fujikyuko Line. See our Fuji-Q Highland guide.
• Edo Wonderland Nikko is an Edo-period theme park where you can dress up as a ninja or samurai. A 1-day ticket is ¥5,800 for adults and ¥3,000 for children, cheaper after 14:00 (13:00 in winter). It is about 15 minutes by bus from Kinugawa-Onsen Station. See our Edo Wonderland guide.
• Tobu World Square shows miniature landmarks from around the world. Adults pay ¥2,800, and hours change by season. It is about 2 hours from Asakusa by limited express. See our Tobu World Square guide.

Edo Wonderland and Tobu World Square are both near Kinugawa Onsen, so you can add a hot spring.

Tips

• Book early for Disney (on sale two months ahead) and Harry Potter (set date and time). For Sanrio Puroland, make the visit reservation as well as buying the ticket.
• Prices change by date at most parks, so compare a few dates before you book.
• With small children: LEGOLAND, Sanrio Puroland and Joypolis are all indoors. See Tokyo with kids.
