Japan Family Vacation Reviews

5 - Excellent

Discovering Myanmar
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“This has been an outstanding holiday. We have seen some wonderful sights, heard about a delightful country and been given a real insight into life in a country facing many challenges.”
Cherry Blossom and so much more in Japan
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“We had high expectations for our visit to Japan for the Hanami (cherry blossom viewing) season and they were exceeded. Not only did we get to see the beautiful blossom but also the old Japanese streets of Kyoto, dancing Geisha, the spring fair in Takayama, snow monkeys bathing and so much more. We got to stay in a traditional ryokan with great dining which was a great Japanese experience. Over and above the standard tour, our group leader also arranged on our free days to see Mount Fuji (wonderful view from Lake Ashi) and the sumo wrestlers training. We've been back a week and still processing all the wonderful experiences.”
Ancient and modern Japan - a must-do tour
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“We loved this tour! We had wanted to visit Japan for years, and this was everything we'd hoped for. Loved the Japanese design ethos, which permeated everything. The contrast between rural Japan and Tokyo was huge, yet the underlying culture was a stratum running through it all. Touring round Tokyo by train and metro may look off-putting at first (the crowds!!!) but it's actually quite easy once you get the hang of it. We thought this trip would be a once-in-a-lifetime event: I can now say with confidence that it will not be!”

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. Relaxing onsen treatments, exclusive temple lodgings in Koyasan, and fine dining evenings in Michelin-starred restaurants are all on the menu.
  • 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.

Tips while on a Japan family vacation

  • Embrace supermarket dining in Japan. It is a great on-the-go way to feed the whole family without breaking the bank. Bento boxes are a favorite across the country.
  • When you visit countryside towns, consider renting a small house to give your family more space. Hotels in Japan have notoriously small rooms, so a little extra breathing space on your tour will be a welcome addition.
  • Go shopping at a local market to get some fresh produce for a family picnic. Japan’s big cities have several marvelous parks and green spaces where you can take a break and enjoy downtime as a family.
