Toyosu

I vividly remember two years ago, when I had to regretfully turn back after trying to leave with just my first and second sons. But this trip to Japan was different. Finally, the whole family boarded the Yurikamome bound for Odaiba. It was like keeping our promise to "come back together someday," and my heart was pounding from the moment we stepped onto the platform. The highlight of this trip was definitely securing the front row seats on the Yurikamome. My children, train enthusiasts who would jump out of their sleep for a train, got in line a little early. Luckily, the kids were already seated at the front, their eyes brimming with curiosity. Thanks to the driverless system, the view of Tokyo Bay and Rainbow Bridge unfolding through the expansive windows was like a giant panoramic movie. The kids screamed, "Wow!" as if they were the train drivers themselves. With each twist and turn along the rails, the children's bodies swayed with excitement, and just watching them wash away all the regrets of the past. As a parent, I couldn't be more proud to see this scene, which I had only imagined two years ago, unfold before my eyes. As I began to see the massive, life-size Gundam and the Palette Town Ferris wheel outside the window, I knew we had finally arrived in Odaiba. That short ride, spent laughing and chatting with the whole family, will remain one of the most cherished moments of our trip. Being together made it all the more perfect, and the children's laughter never ceased. It was the start of a family trip that was even more refreshing and enjoyable than the azure sea of Odaiba.

It's hard to imagine experiencing such exquisite Japanese spirit and activities specifically designed for children at such a very affordable price; it's truly excellent value for money. This trip would be highly recommended for families with children visiting Tokyo.
