FAMILY GETAWAY
Japan Family Holiday
Tokyo for the children, Kyoto for the temples, trains in between.
Overview
Two cities, two hotels. Tokyo has the teamLab-or-Disney day if you want one; Kyoto keeps temple mornings short. Shinkansen between them. Built so younger children are not asked to do Hakone as well.
Highlights
- Four nights in one Tokyo hotel.
- Optional Disney, teamLab or Ghibli day as quoted.
- Shinkansen to Kyoto.
- Three nights in Kyoto with one early temple morning.
Why this trip
- Two stays — packing happens once.
- Park days only when you add tickets.
- Daily load can be cut for younger children.

Suggested family order: Tokyo, then Kyoto. A Hakone day trip can replace a Tokyo leisure day if you ask.
