“Good trip to get a taste of Japan.We'll definitely be going back to explore more.Apart from a day of rain,we were very lucky with the weather which was warm and sunny. The trip involves a lot of journeys by trains and it's essential that all group members are punctual. Food was varied. Hotels etc of a good standard and comfortable. The trip covers busy cities and visits to small villages.”

Japan Family Tours

Japan tours for families offer a broad mix of activities and experiences. Here are some of the family tours worth considering:

  • Family cycling tour in the Noto Peninsula: Take your family on a trip to the Nato Peninsula, a rugged piece of land projecting into the Sea of Japan. A cycling adventure suited for a family will take you past intriguing towns like Wajima city and stunning seascapes such as Kongo Coast, teaching you about Japan’s culture while also giving you a sense of adventure.
  • Family hiking tour to Mount Fuji: Adventure-loving families can summit one of Japan’s most sacred places, Mount Fuji. The hike spans over two days and takes on a slower pace—ideal for both young and elderly family members. This is the kind of expedition your family will forever cherish.
  • Sightseeing tour in Kyoto with the family: Kyoto is one of the most culturally rich places where your family can get immersed in the traditions of Japan. Enjoy a quintessential Japanese tea ceremony, take a calligraphy class to learn the intricacies of Japanese writing, or snap a few family portraits at the picturesque Kinkaku-ji’s reflective pond. Kyoto offers a relaxing cultural outing experience for everyone in your family.

Japan family tours based on a budget

  • Luxury family tours in Japan: Japan prides itself on its luxury offerings. Your Japan family tour can be steeped in sumptuous experiences, from private excursions to stays in top-tier hotels.

  • Budget family tours in Japan: Though Japan is not renowned for being a cheap travel destination, family holidays can be cost-effective. Look at some budget-friendly family tours to Japan to enjoy more local experiences. Stay at a traditional ryokan inn, eat street food, and travel with bullet train passes to get around the local towns.
