Tokyo is a surprising city of contrasts — where ancient temples sit alongside neon-lit futuristic skyscrapers. It’s an essential inclusion in any family trip to Japan. There’s something for everyone — from manga and anime to pop culture, shrines, and sushi. With our Konnichiwa Tokyo trip, you’ll explore it all at a relaxed, family-friendly pace.
When you think of Japan, you might picture ancient temples, manicured zen gardens and geisha-led tea ceremonies. Well, that’s Kyoto in a nutshell! It’s the cultural heart of Japan. We’ll arrange a guided bike tour, and have factored in plenty of time for you to immerse yourself in Japanese culture and traditions.
Explore the impressive mountain landscape of the Hakone region by bus, gondola, train and boat. In good weather, enjoy views of Japan’s landmark Mount Fuji.
Admire the magnificent views of Mount Fuji from your canoe on Lake Kawaguchiko and experience Japan like a local by staying in a spacious family apartment, just steps away from the lake.
Hiroshima will always be remembered for the events of 1945, but today it’s a vibrant city with a welcoming atmosphere and lively food scene. During your stay, we’ll arrange a walking tour where you can learn about its history in an engaging way.
Venture into the wild Japanese Alps, stepping into the world of the samurai with a visit to Matsumoto, and then stroll along the forested paths in Kamikochi, before exploring the vibrant markets in the beautifully preserved alpine town of Takayama.
Koyasan is the place to slow down and soak up Japan’s spiritual side. You’ll stay in a Buddhist temple where monks follow ancient traditions and a simple life. It’s an unforgettable experience for families with teenagers.
Welcome to the street food capital of Japan, where vibrant food stalls sit beneath glowing neon signs amongst the buzz of city life. Take your family on a flavour-packed street food tour through the iconic districts of Osaka.
Less than an hour from Tokyo, you’ll find the lively coastal town of Kamakura. Spend a few days relaxing on the sands, building sandcastles and visiting the second largest Buddha statue in Japan.

“I love the retro-futuristic vibes of Tokyo, not to mention the tasty donburi! Staying in a traditional ryokan and bathing in the natural hot springs (onsen) are particular highlights for me.”
