So we have decided to go to japan next month, its a rather sudden trip (around 3 week notice). Let me explain to you a bit about our situation.
1. There will be the 6 of us
– 2 person in the middle of their 40s
– 2 person in their early 20s
– 1 teen
– 1 10 yo kid
2. There are 2 older members of our group with knee problem (they can walk a long distance but stairs and running may be a problem)
3. The 4 of us have been to japan already but it will be their first time for the other 2
4. We don’t want to cover all the touristy area since we’ve been there. (We went to japan 5 years ago and its a 14 days trip to osaka kyoto and tokyo)
5. I have pre-booked everything that i can get in advance with such a short notice.
6. All of us love animanga and kawaii stuffs. and all girls family trip.
With that, here is what we have in mind

If stairs are a problem, some of the kyoto shrines will be a problem.
Tokyo days are so packed, small worlds is in odaiba, shinjuku and shibuya are on the other side of tokyo, and then the Yushime shrine is closer to Akihabara rather than shibuya.
Move the Odaiba day alongside smallworld, and shrine with akihabara together.
You don’t want to go to touristy areas, so you’re going to, check’s notes… Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo…
