Japan is one of the few countries where you can find all the modern conveniences of home with the perfect combination of modern culture, cuisine, and historical values that every family will enjoy. Whether you have a little kid or a teenager, or both, the dynamic and eclectic Japanese culture has something to offer to people of every age group. While the kids will love the bullet trains, ancient castles, and high-tech cities, not to forget the anime world, elders can enjoy the beauty of the cherry blossom, the relaxation in the onsens, and the taste of Japan’s very own sake.
Make a perfect plan
Planning the japan family tours is a matter of customization as tour operators try to plan the trip as per the age group of your children and include the places where both the elders and the youngsters can have fun. For instance, if you plan to travel with your five-year-old kid, you should definitely include Hiroshima, Kyoto, Hakone, and Tokyo in your list. It is essential for the kids to learn about the aftermath of Hiroshima’s atomic bomb blast, which has been a part of their history books. The Sensoji temple, Himeji Castle, strolling through Hakone, and exploring Arashiyama is almost mandatory on your itinerary.
Alternative tour plans
If you have children above six years, then Takayama and Osaka can enter the list, replacing Hiroshima. There are lots of museums to quench the thirst for knowledge of the little pair of eyes. They will also love the Maiko and Samurai performances and make the origami cranes at the Children’s Peace Monument. How about a boat ride on the Hozugawa River? You can also encourage them to join a bento box cooking class or a mochi-making demonstration session. The bullet train ride will be a memory the kids will cherish forever.
