Japan Family Vacation Reviews

Temples, Trains and T'cherry Blossom
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“An absolutely brilliant introduction to Japan: Plenty of time to see Kyoto and Tokyo as well as sampling the delights of the Japanese alps in Spring. And, of course, the cherry blossom. We went in April and hit it just right. We experienced ancient Japanese culture with an array of stunning temples and modern Japan where the simple phrase "Shopping" cannot do justice to the experience that is the Ginza (and other parts of Tokyo) on a Saturday. Nearly all the travelling on this trip is by train - which I thought was fantastic. Bullet trains and little narrow gauge jobs up in the mountains - and ALL of them we spot on time. Staying in Royokans was interesting - if a little challenging to my aging joints - and pretty basic but it's worth the effort for the experience and the hot tubs.”

“This tour was amazing on many levels. From the beginning, communications were prompt, helpful, and clear. All questions and concerns were addressed. The tour preparation information was very helpful and appropriate, assisting in smooth transition for the tour. The tour guide, agenda, and opportunities for personal impute, made the tour like a customized personal tour. Attention to needs and wants of the participants was consistently attended to, making the tour so very pleasurable and memorable.”

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.
