Round up the kids and embark on an adventure through the 'Land of the Rising Sun' on this 12-day family trip through Japan
  • Try your hand at traditional calligraphy in Shinjuku, then learn to cook your own okonomiyaki on a relaxing boat cruise around Tokyo Bay – Tokyo’s full of fun activities for the whole family!
  • Explore Hakone by cable-car, pirate ship and with a peaceful walk around the lake – maybe even catch a glimpse of the iconic Mt Fuji on a clear day – before relaxing in the soothing waters of an onsen.
  • Visit Himeji Castle – Japan's grandest samurai castle – then dive into Kyoto’s local culture with a walk around the famous Gion district.
  • Learn about a sobering yet important chapter of Japan’s history at the Hiroshima Peace Park, followed by a visit to the relaxing island of Miyajima where deer roam the streets.
  • Take a daytrip from Kyoto to Arashiyama and cruise along the Hozugawa River on a boat ride – this route along the river is over 400 years old and surrounded by lush rolling mountains – then, visit a bamboo forest.
Stay in a mix of hotels and traditional Japanese-style inns. Expect twin or triple configurations for families, with larger families often split across twin rooms. In ryokans or minshukus, sleep on futons on tatami, with small bathrooms and shared bathing facilities that operate at set times.
