Hi all! We're finally doing my dream holiday of going on a road trip with a mini RV in Japan (Kyushu to be specific)! We've been to Japan just once in 2017, going to Tokyo, and it was great. Since then we've expanded our family and are now taking our 3y/o daughter with us. Originally the idea was to rent an RV and just go with the flow but we don't think that'll work well with our daughter. So we're trying to implement activities for her and take it a bit slower~
I have our itinerary ready to go but thought I'd be best if some people with more experience and expertise look over it. Depending on what time it is after our activities we're either driving to a parking spot near the next location the same day or the next morning, but mostly the same day.

Any tips/advice/critique is welcome. One thing I've always wanted to to since I was a teen was visit a Manga Kissa or internet cafe, just to experience it, and I had given up on that since my daughter was born but I saw that they now have "Family rooms" and advertise it with young children. Any thoughts on this?
Many thanks in advance o(_ _)o
