[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you really want to go to Asia pick one city (I would pick Kyoto). Only you know how your kids would do with the long travel and time change, but my kids’ first international trip was to Asia (to visit family) and they were totally fine. They slept on the plane and just woke up early for the first couple of days we were there. I actually think young kids adjust the easiest. [/quote]
Was this trip 7 days? I flew solo w/ 8 & 5 yr olds to Kyoto and they were perfect. But we were there almost 2 weeks. Note: jet lag on the return is a harder adjustment. [/quote]

Yes, jet lag on return was harder for my kids too.  For OP, we took my family of 5 to Europe a couple of times (my kids were around the ages of your kids the first time), and then we were just in Asia for about 2 and a half weeks.  It's a long time to get to Asia but they just thought of it as going to Europe but double the flights.  Hahaha...  My kids adjusted to the jet lag very well but we're pretty good about reminding them to stay awake until bedtime for example.  We also don't pack the schedule.  We usually just do one touristy thing a day and then let the kids veg the rest of the day and night.  It's a vacation after all!  [/quote]
