[quote=Anonymous]We did a family trip to Japan a few years ago. Our kids were a little younger than yours. We had a great time!

We all really enjoyed Tokyo Disney Sea. Since we had to come back to Tokyo for our flight home, we tacked Disney on to the end of the trip and stayed by the park. This worked well for us. Also found the tips here helpful: https://www.disneytouristblog.com/tokyo-disneysea-best-theme-park/. Definitely check out the Teddy Roosevelt Bar!

Tokyo was fun, but a couple of days was sufficient for us. We did a tour of the fish market followed by a cooking class and would recommend that! Also would recommend catching a baseball game. We loved the Yakult Swallows experience—easy to get tickets and exuberant fans!

We spent one night in Hakone on our way to Kyoto. There are lots of ryokan to choose from, and the mountain setting is beautiful. Also in Hakone we LOVED the Open Air Museum—spectacular incorporation of art into the landscape, and very kid friendly. There’s an onsen-themed water park that was also fun (https://hakone-japan.com/things-to-do/onsen/how-to-enjoy-onsen/hakone-kowakien-yunessun-2/). So if you are so inclined, Hakone is worth a stop.

I agree that you should spend plenty of time in Kyoto. There are great day trips available (we enjoyed Nara and the Fushimi shrine). My favorite thing of everything we did in Japan was a day trip from Kyoto to Kurama and Kibune. You take the train to Kurama, hike up to a beautiful mountain-top temple, then continue down the mountain to Kibune. In summer there are restaurants where you can sit on platforms on top of the water and it is just delightful. [/quote]
