Tokyo with kids - Yamanote Line stroller access and Ueno Zoo strategy

Survived 8 days with three kids under 10 using jr passes. Here's what actually works in tokyo:

stroller-friendly zones: tokyo station marunouchi exits, shibuya sky building, newer odaiba areas have elevators everywhere. Asakusa sensoji is beautiful but stairs and crowds - skip with strollers

kid-approved tokyo spots:

• tokyo disneyland maihama (obvious but worth the jr keiyo line trip)

• ueno zoo plus park combination - pandas and playground

• odaiba aqua city and gundam statue

• harajuku takeshita dori for sensory overload they'll love

restaurant strategy: family restaurants like dennys and gusto near jr stations have high chairs and english kids menus. Sushiro conveyor belt entertains them

sanity saver: tokyo station and shibuya department stores have nursing rooms and quiet areas on upper floors. Used these daily for emergency naps
