Japan Family Vacation Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 53 customer reviews
Ancient & modern Japan
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“This was a brilliant trip with a great group of fellow travellers. It took us along the length of Honshu, from the coast, cities, and into the mountains, using very efficient public transport - the Shinkansen & Tokyo metro which are experiences in themselves. We saw friendly deer, excitable snow monkeys and dressed-up dogs in prams (an example of an eccentric sight Japan will offer many of). It offered relaxing moments like bathing in the hot springs and warming sake, to quite intense moments like navigating busy train stations and some longer days on our feet exploring parks and cities.”
Two weeks of fun!
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“Our trip was two weeks of non-stop fun and adventure - I enjoyed the time spent in both the cities and the mountains. Japan surprised me in so many ways -- the politeness of the people, the speed and efficiencies of the RR system, the beauty of the mountains, the throngs of people in Tokyo, the majesty of its shrines and temples, and the rich traditons best seen in Kyoto. I was not disappointed by anything.”
A wonderful introduction to Japan [Ancient and Modern]
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“This trip balanced history with ultra-modern culture. At one point, I started the day with a traditional bath at our ryokan, then we visited the snow monkeys and by evening we were in the centre of Tokyo's night life. The last week of March was cherry blossom time in Kyoto but early April was too late for most of the blossom in Tokyo: I guess you can't have everything! Also bear in mind Mount Fuji's modesty: I've now visited Japan twice but haven't caught the slightest glimpse.”

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.

  • 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.
