Enjoy Japanese traditional culture, history and lifestyle. We are happy to offer inspiring and fun experiences for the varied interests of different generations in a family. For a family with small children, we will arrange kids-friendly cultural activities such as folding origami paper and wearing kimono. For a family with teenagers, more sophisticated activities can be included such as tea ceremony, or even visiting exclusive restaurant where geisha (maiko or geiko in Kyoto) entertain your family.

Our previous family travelers also enjoyed private lessons on wadaiko (Japanese drum), calligraphy, cookings and more.

Unique accommodation stay

Staying at unique accommodations would make your family trip so special! There are several types of unique accommodations for family travelers.
Ryokan (Japanese-style inn) stay is one of the best ways to experience traditional culture and Japanese hospitality. Immerse yourself in Japanese traditional lifestyle by staying in a tatami-floor room, wearing yukata (casual kimono), and enjoying kaiseki dinner. Though most luxury ryokans have your private bath at your room, if you like, you can relax in a large common bath (many of them are hot spring).

Machiya (Japanese traditional house) and Bukeyashiki (samurai residence) provide different experience for your family. Both are the renovation of old architectures. Although they are perfectly modernized for comfortable stay, you will be able to sense the lifestyle of old days.

Culinary experiences are very important part of the journey. Japanese cuisine, "Washoku" is registered as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Sushi is probably the best known Japanese food, and we recommend you to try at least once in Japan. Sushi in Japan would be a whole different experience. "Washoku" ranges from sophisticated vegetarian dishes in Buddhist temple to juicy beef steak utilizing worldly renowned Kobe beef. We would like to recommend perfect restaurants for you based on your preferences and dietary requirements.

Is your child a picky eater? No worries! We are sure your children munching happily in Japan. Depachika sweets (high-end sweets sold in the basement floor of department stores) and local snacks will be your children's new favorite during the trip.
