Day 01 - We took a red-eye flight and arrived in Narita at about 0730 and first order of business was to get breakfast!
KINEYA MUGIMARU UDON NOODLE [ Narita Airport Terminal 1]
Then make transportation arrangement to HOTEL GROOVE SHINJUKU. Though we are a group of 9 (with two active toddlers + a handful of luggages), getting a bus to our hotel was a breeze. We did not prebook and just head over to Airport Limousine counter and book a bus to Kabukicho tower.
We end day 01 with a trip to Shibuya Sky
I highly recommend staying at Groove Shinjuku purely because there is a 24/7 Halal Kebab shop
Day 02 - Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo - The Making of Harry Potter
From our hotel, we took the train to the studio. Japanese railway map maybe be intimidating at first but it is pretty straight forward. Just google map your destination and follow the signs and you’ll get there!
Day 03 & 04 - Shopping [mostly ABC mart]
Another reason why Groove Shinjuku is a good base is because Genki Taisho Wagyu is just 10 mins away.
This is your guy when you are in Tokyo.
Japan shopping list : Gundam and Sneakers
Day 05 - En route to Mt Fuji
Rented a car from [https://nissan-rentacar.com/en] Tokyo Shinkansen station. We chose this location as it has a direct train to Kyoto for later on our trip.
Plenty of photo opportunities along the way and day 05 end with more photos and a trip to a nearby supermarket,
Day 06 - Makaino Farm
Day 07 - Park Cafe, Toy Story Hotel and Disneyland
We left our Airbnb for a quick breakfast at The Park Cafe, [- 3752 Hirano, Yamanakako, Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi 401-0502, Japan] before making our way to Toy Story hotel.
Checked in, check out the hotel facilities and room and we only left for Disneyland at about 6pm :x
Took one ride then it is goodnight day 07

Let’s go Atok!
Day 09 - Kyoto, Arashiyama Bamboo Forest
