Japan is safe, efficient and endlessly fascinating for children.

Pace

Fewer bases and longer stays work best. Two or three cities over ten days is plenty.

Moments they will remember

Bullet trains, deer parks, robot cafés and quiet temple gardens all have their place.

Practicalities

Luggage forwarding services make train travel far easier with a family. Ask us to arrange it.
