We’ve finalised our plans for our holiday to Japan – Osaka, Tokyo and Kyoto. We will be travelling with 3 children aged 5yo, 3yo and 7mo. I’ve put everything we WANT to do on each day, but am very aware that we may have to slow down/miss things if our kids aren’t feeling up to it.
Are there any days here that are so busy you think it would be absolutely impossible to do everything on them? I’ve tried to plan so that we’re not catching too many trains each day, and everything we want to do is in similar areas. Any tips/suggestions or tweaks to our itinerary you’d recommend?
Thanks all 😁
