Whether Studio Ghibli, Akinhabra “electric town”, Nara Park, or a luxury ryokan takes your fancy, discover Japan.
Japan for Family Experiences
Fun and education for children, yet rewarding for adults, Japan is the perfect place for a multigenerational holiday. One of the safest and cleanest countries in the world, Japan boasts superb amenities and excellent family accommodation, making travelling with all ages wonderfully stress-free. Japan’s cities are a flashing, whirring paradise for kids of all ages. In Tokyo alone, the family can enjoy anime masters at Studio Ghibli, take a masterclass in manga drawing, meet Hello Kitty at Sanrio Puroland, and get lost in the amusement arcades of Akihabara ‘electric town’. In the countryside, families can kayak to Miyajima Island, cycle through rural villages, and feed the friendly deer in Nara Park. There are also endless hands-on activities to try, from martial arts to origami or taiko drumming. www.japan.travel/en/uk
