We visited Tokyo  Fire Museum on the last day of our Airbnb stay. We didn't want to venture too far on this day, as we had more packing up to be done before making our way to Fujiyoshida the next morning.

In fact we already excluded places like Tokyo tower, Sky tree (we were there but did not go up), Akihabara, gyoens (gardens) which were not much of interest to our kids, and yet there are still many more places we have not covered over these 2 Tokyo vacations! I'm sharing our Winter Tokyo 2017 Itinerary here and will update the details and information to each individual attraction along the way. (highlighted yellow) Let me share some Tokyo travel tips first: 1)We rented a pocket wifi from Changi Recommends  for our trip. We also received a ...
