Hotel Review – RIHGA Royal Hotel Tokyo – Travelling with Kids – Family Travel Blog
There are so many hotel options when travelling to Tokyo and to be honest it can seem a little overwhelming.

DisneySea, Tokyo – Travelling with Kids – Family Travel Blog
DisneySea is one many Tokyo theme parks, it’s one of a kind and opened in September 2001 in Urayasu, Chiba just outside Tokyo.
