Happy New Year!

Are you in Tokyo with your kids and just realized that all the museums are closed during the New Year period?!

Don’t worry!

Here are 5 great places that are still open:

1. Meiji Shrine in Harajuku – one of the most famous shrines in Tokyo for making a wish for the New Year (my favorite shrine!!)

Have a wonderful holiday in Tokyo!
