Hi AFF brains trust!
We have decided that in 2015 our family vacation will be in Japan, probably in the June/July or Sep/Oct school holidays.
At this stage it will be about 10 days give or take, and we have some questions!
Last time I was in japan was about 15 years ago and kids were certainly not part of my holiday back then.
So we have two 7 year olds who study Japanese at school and who their best friends from school are also Japanese and have taught them a lot of Japanese (We on the other hand know about 10 words at best!)
Anyway we figure its a great opportunity to get them over there and to enjoy another culture.
We are looking for tips on things which are great for kids and of course good for us too!
The things on our must see list are:
Akihabara (yeah im a tech nerd junkie!)
Japanese gardens (Kenroku-en) - but that may not be feasible/easy to get to with only 10 days of our trip.
Bullet train past mt Fuji
Id like to do a hot springs stay as well, but I don't think the wife is too keen on the whole nudity in front of others thing. - im also not sure how children are accepted.
Anyway looking for tips and must see family things to do from the always reliable AFF
thanks in advance
