Michelle decided on a whim to head to Japan with her two kids alone for two and a half weeks.  While many people plan their trip to Japan for months and even a year, she did this with just three weeks prep.  Planning some activities and hotels befor her trip and others while there, she is going to bring you interviews with those hotels and tours she did and chat about some of their activities along the way.  This week's episode features Tokyo.  She stayed at the beautiful and conventient Shiba Park Hotel and Park Hotel Tokyo.

They took an amazing tour with Tourist Japan to Mt. Fuji.  Check out their website here.
It was great because they met and then the rest of the day were transported in a comfortable vehicle with a small group which is perfect when traveling with kids.  Michelle also got lost on the trains more than once so having a group show you are around saves a ton of time and makes sure you see all the great spots! In additon, they went to see a Sumo wrestling show and had dinner at Sumo Live Restaurant in Ginza, spent a couple of hours at the incredible immersive art experience, Team Labs Borderless.  They fed and cuddled with capybaras at Capybara Cafe Moffu in Harajuku.  And of course, the first stop of the trip was to the Pokémon Center in Shibuya!
