Food, castles & Universal
Start in Japan's kitchen: a curated Osaka food tour, mighty Osaka Castle, the playful Cup Noodles Museum where kids make their own, the Kaiyukan aquarium, and a full day of magic at Universal Studios Japan.
Samurai, matcha & bamboo
Old Japan's capital: temples and shrines, a hands-on samurai lesson, a family matcha tea ceremony and garden, kimono dress-up for a family photo, a vintage train through the gorge, and the Arashiyama bamboo forest.
Castles, Ghibli & Lego
A city of wonder for curious kids: the 400-year-old Nagoya Castle with its golden roofs, the dreamy Ghibli Park of Totoro and Spirited Away, and hands-on building fun at Legoland.
Castle, onsen & soba
The striking black-and-white Matsumoto Castle, a historic shopping street full of local finds, a soothing onsen soak, and Nagano's famous Toji soba noodles dipped in warm broth.
Mount Fuji up close
Wake to postcard views of Mount Fuji mirrored in Lake Kawaguchi. Ride the ropeway up for a sweeping Fuji panorama, paddle an optional family kayak across the calm lake with the mountain as your backdrop, and unwind in a hot spring that looks straight out at Japan's most iconic peak.
City wonder to farewell
From mountain calm to city energy: a friendly local half-day tour, a cozy yakitori night, a magical day at Tokyo Disney, interactive teamLab art, and optional Tokyo Skytree views before your journey home.
The family journey, day by day.
A clear overview of the full route — every day flexible and fully tailor-made to you.
Food, castles & Universal
Land in Osaka and settle in with a private transfer to your family hotel. Dive into Japan's kitchen on a curated food tour through the lively streets, then explore the mighty Osaka Castle and its parkland. Kids love the Cup Noodles Museum — where they design their very own cup to take home — and the Kaiyukan, one of the world's largest aquariums. The days build to a full day of rides and characters at Universal Studios Japan.
Whispers of old Japan
Step into old Japan among Kyoto's temples, shrines and wooden lanes. The whole family learns the way of the samurai in a hands-on lesson, then slows down for a matcha tea ceremony in a serene garden. Wander the historic streets in kimono for a family photo to treasure, ride a charming vintage train through the gorge, and — if you like — explore by family bike. The towering Arashiyama bamboo forest rounds out three days of culture and wonder.
Castles to blocks
Nagoya is a city of wonder for curious kids. Visit the 400-year-old Nagoya Castle with its glittering golden roof ornaments, then choose your family's adventure: step into the magical worlds of Studio Ghibli at Ghibli Park — meeting Totoro and wandering the Spirited Away bathhouse — or spend a hands-on day building and riding at Legoland Japan.
A castle town with soul
Break the journey in the castle town of Matsumoto, framed by the Japanese Alps. Admire the striking black-and-white Matsumoto Castle, one of Japan's oldest original keeps, then browse the historic shopping street for crafts and treats. Unwind with a soothing onsen soak and taste Nagano's famous Toji soba, dipped hot into a rich, warming broth.
In the shadow of Mount Fuji
Trade the cities for lakeside calm at Kawaguchiko, one of the Fuji Five Lakes, where Mount Fuji rises straight across the water. Take the ropeway up for a sweeping panorama of the peak, paddle an optional family kayak across the mirror-still lake, and soak in a hot spring with Fuji filling the view. It's a magical, restful pause before the buzz of Tokyo.
The city's heart
From mountain calm to city energy, Tokyo unfolds layer by layer. A friendly local host guides your family through the highlights on a half-day tour, followed by a cozy yakitori dinner down a lantern-lit alley. Spend a magical day together at Tokyo Disney, lose yourselves in the interactive light-and-color worlds of teamLab, and take in the whole city from the soaring Tokyo Skytree.
See you next time
Enjoy a relaxed final morning in Tokyo — a last bowl of ramen, some souvenir shopping, or one more skyline view. When it's time, a private transfer brings you smoothly to the airport. It's not goodbye — it's simply see you next time.
Family trips to Japan — your questions answered.
The things Dutch families ask us most before traveling to Japan with children.
Is Japan a good destination for a family holiday with children?
Yes. Japan is one of the world's most family-friendly destinations: it's exceptionally safe, clean, easy to explore by train, and full of experiences kids love — from Ghibli Park and Legoland to Cup Noodles museums, samurai lessons and hot springs.
When is the best time to travel to Japan with kids?
Spring (late March–May) brings cherry blossoms and mild weather, while autumn (October–November) offers beautiful foliage and comfortable temperatures — both ideal for families. Summer is warm and full of festivals; winter is quieter with snow and onsen. We match the timing to your school holidays and wishes.
How many days do you need for a family trip through Japan?
Two weeks is ideal for a first family trip, letting you combine Osaka, Kyoto, the Japanese Alps and Tokyo at a relaxed pace. Shorter 10-day trips are possible by focusing on fewer regions. Every Kunji journey is fully tailor-made to your family.
Is Japan safe for families?
Very safe. Japan consistently ranks among the safest countries in the world, with low crime, reliable public transport and helpful locals — a reassuring choice for parents traveling with children.
What does a tailor-made family trip to Japan cost?
Our tailor-made Familie Japan journey starts from € 2.000 per person, based on 14 days with hotels, transport between destinations, guided experiences and airport transfers. The final price depends on your dates, group size, hotels and season.
What is there for children to do in Japan?
Plenty: Universal Studios Japan and Legoland, the magical worlds of Ghibli Park, making your own cup at the Cup Noodles Museum, meeting deer, dressing in kimono, learning the way of the samurai, and soaking in family-friendly hot springs.
