Enjoy a family day filled with nature and Japanese culture!

This one-day course begins in Nagoya, a city famous for its historical castle. After you've enjoyed exploring this castle town, head out the next day for this one-day trip through some of the rich natural beauty, history, and family-friendly cultural spots of Kyoto Prefecture. Once you've arrived in Kyoto, you can rent a car to most easily move your family from one spot to another. But after a car ride, the kids especially might want to stretch their legs. First stop for this: Kyoto Tamba Park, which even includes playgrounds, pools, and waterslides! Next, its on to Fukuchiyama Castle, to experience a bit of local history, and then to the Japan Oni Cultural Museum for a fun look at Japan's traditional monsters, or "oni." Finally, you can end the day watching the sunset and playing at the beautiful Hamazume Yuhigaura beach.
