12 BEST Theme Parks in Tokyo, Japan (family-friendly)

If you are looking for theme park for kids to spend 1day, these are popular destination in Tokyo/Kanto area.

Tokyo Disneyland

Needless to say, the most popular theme park of all in Japan.
Compare with DisneySea, Disneyland might be slightly easier for family with baby (on stroller) as it’s flatter site than Disney Sea.

Tokyo DisneySea

The DisneySea is equally great place – biggest difference from Disneyland might be “OK to drink alcohol in the park”.
And you can see Duffy (popular character) at DisneySea only, not at Disneyland.
