12 Best Things to Do in Tokyo With Kids | Condé Nast Traveler
"Located a short stroll from the Senso-ji temple, Mokuhankan Print Parties, craft sessions with professional artists, are the perfect way to break up a day of walking around the atmospheric side streets of Asakusa. Over the course of an hour, kids will learn about the ancient technique of ukiyo-e, or woodblock printing. Pre-carved blocks mean that even tiny hands can make a masterpiece for the refrigerator back home. Booking ahead isn’t essential, but it only takes a minute and guarantees that there won’t be a wait. At ¥2,000 (about $18) per person or ¥5,000 (about $45) for a family of four, these workshops offer great value for anyone who wants a little extra insight into Japanese culture. Don’t be surprised if the older siblings—or parents—in your group end up having as much fun as the little ones. Especially since it’s a low time commitment, a woodblock printing workshop is easy to squeeze into a day full of sightseeing." - Diana Hubbell
