Fascinating culture, rich history and sci-fi cities
Japan makes for a truly compelling family tour destination, with something for everyone amongst its 6,582 islands.
This is a land where centuries of history sit alongside vibrant modernity, where both ancient traditions are proudly upheld and the latest fashion and technological fads are enthusiastically followed. You can spend the day wandering Zen gardens, bathing in hot springs amidst the forest, before heading into the city as an array of multi-storey neon lights colour the crowds below. It is this seeming contradiction – back dropped by sublime scenery – that makes Japan so fascinating.
Our expert travel designers have years of experience in delivering tailor-made family trips, and your dedicated designer will shoulder all the detailed planning for a seamless adventure you can simply sit back and enjoy. They will help you create an itinerary that fits your time, tastes and interests as a family, factoring in your ages and ideal accommodation along with private tours, effortless travelling ease, and personal support and service from start to finish.
Whatever you choose to do in Japan, be it as much or as little as you like, we can make your luxury family tour here about more inspired experiences, more comfort, and more style than any other.

Japan is a wonderful family destination - it’s such a varied country, there’s so much to do and it feels entirely magical. Sci-fi Tokyo is a great family city - clean, organised and utterly captivating for young and old. Away from the cities there’s lots of fun to be had hiking, canoeing and exploring pristine pine forests, pink cherry blossoms and azure lakes.
