Places I've been to that were absolutely the best!
I know it sounds cliche but the BEST experience I had in Tokyo was hands down Tokyo Disneyland. It was actually my first time going to Disneyland so maybe that's why lol. But even when compared to USJ, I think Tokyo Disneyland definitely takes the cake in terms of short wait times (5-45 minutes average) and the number of interactive things to do! The food is also better than other theme parks and I highly recommend going to Tomorrowland Terrace to get the Baymax Burger and the Fried Chicken Burger. Both taste delicious ASF! Overall a 10/10 experience to feel like a kid again and get that rush of nostalgia and play!

Tokyo Disneyland is DEFINITELY worth the visit. For just 6400 you have access to so many different areas, exhibits, merch and food!
I highly recommend checking out these:
1. Pirates of the Caribbean (10 min themed ride)
2. Jungle Cruise: Wildlife Expeditions (5 min boat ride)
3. The Enchanted Tiki Room: Stitch Presents Aloha E Komo Mai (shows every 10 minutes, English Translators available)
4. Peter Pan's Flight (2 min themed ride)
5. Haunted Mansion (5 min themed ride)
6. Goofy's Paint 'n' Play House (1 min game)
7. Chip 'n Dale's Treehouse (5 min interaction)
8. Minnie's House (interactive photo op)
9. Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin (funny 5 min themed ride)
10. Stitch Encounter (funny 10 min show that interacts with the audience)
11. Monster's Inc. Ride & Go Seek (fun, interactive 5 min themed ride)
I absolutely love that you can visit from 2pm and still get to do everything + still have energy to possibly see the fireworks in the evening at 8:30pm!

Next is an ode to the Harry Potter Series. It's a very interactive self tour of the "studios" and sets where Harry Potter was filmed. Take part to pretend to be in a Quidditch match cheering, as a painting on the wall, appearing in fireplaces and flying away on brooms! I even cast some spells and mixed potions while I was there too. Be sure to take a quiz on which Hogwarts house you belong to and cosplay while you are there. Trust me, you will absolutely thank me in the end because this is truly a 1-time experience. You will spend approx 4hrs on the self tour and 1hr eating (optional.) Be sure to use the bathrooms when you see them as they are few and far in between. And be on the lookout for the SALE rack in their gift shop!

Ticket price: 6400 yen
Allowance for food: 3500 yen
Allowance for merch: 10,000 yen (trust me everything is so detailed, you will find yourself wanting to buy A LOT! Even if it's just to save the packaging and have it on display. I spent 150 yen just on decorative paper bags at the checkout lol)

Of course I also have to mention teamLab Planets. This is a truly unique experience. Go into it with zero expectations and the mindset of play to have the most fun. A lot of people get carried away with what they THINK this will be and don't enjoy it to the MAX. Remember, you can go through multiple times at no additional cost, so why not enjoy yourself the first time and then film on the second walkthrough. Really enjoy yourself and feel like a kid again!
