Family trips from Japan with kids — and with the grandparents.
We write about what we actually booked and what we paid, how we split rooms for four or six people, and how we got from the airport to the hotel.

YamagataWho we are
I’m Jinbei, a father of two from the Kanto region of Japan (around Tokyo). I have been traveling for about 20 years and have visited more than 30 cities. Since our first child was born, we have taken at least one family trip every year, starting when he was a baby.
We also travel as three generations — grandparents, parents and kids. Our records from 2014 to 2026 alone include 25 domestic three-generation trips (53 nights) in Japan, plus two abroad: Guam and Taipei.
With the kids and grandparents, we have traveled to Okinawa, Guam, Kanazawa, Tokushima and Yamagata, and abroad to Taipei, Hong Kong, Cebu and Bangkok. Most of our pages are in Japanese for now; we are adding English versions of the places we know best.
In every page: what we paid for our dates and rooms, how we split rooms for four or six, getting there with kids and luggage, and what we did not use — we say so, instead of guessing.
