Japan Family Tours & Travel

One of the key reasons to visit Japan as a family is its eclectic mix of past, present and future, all of which provide something of interest for all ages and makes for lots of things to see and do. Blue Dot Travel has carefully crafted this itinerary with adults and kids in mind for a wonderful cultural experience. You won’t see it all but you will get the right mix, moving well beyond the greatest hits to some of the hidden gems that give a real taste of Japan’s diversity, at a pace that will keep the kids engaged. 

Japan is located in the northern Pacific Ocean and surrounded by China, North and South Korea, Russia and Taiwan. Although comprised of nearly 7,000 islands, the four largest — Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku — make up 97% of Japan’s land area. 

Japan is a land of contrasts where the ancient blends with the modern ... where urban blends with nature. The population of 126 million is the world’s 10th largest with just over 9 million people living in Tokyo, the sixth largest city in the OECD. Less well known is that forests cover two-­thirds of Japan’s land with its tempting rural scenery of wandering coastlines and bays, towering mountains, twisting valleys and glorious lakes. We make sure you will venture into some of the more enchanting areas of this fascinating country and while the family tour is tailored to just the right length, we can help you stay on longer if you’re up for it. Sometimes enough is simply not enough!
