    Thanks to the amazing itinerary Phoebe planned for us and the great local guide, my son and I had such a wonderful holiday in Japan! Our guide, David, was fantastic — not only did he teach my son so much about Japanese culture, but he also made sure we had tons of fun at both Disneyland and Universal Studios. When David found out my son loves sushi, he even recommended a few famous spots for us to try — and they were absolutely delicious! This trip was truly unforgettable. We had an incredible time and can’t wait to come back!

    Amber with UME was wonderful in planning our 2 week family trip to Japan. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was scheduled and her and the team coordinated every detail perfectly. The tour guides (Kyle, Gary, and Shuo) were all very knowledgeable and helpful. Kyle delivered an item on our last day to our hotel that was left at a restaurant on a previous tour. His service and professionalism was exceptional! He always went above and beyond to ensure our family was well taken care of. Gary kept our itinerary on schedule. Shuo made sure our last day at Universal Studios was organized and stayed to ensure we made it back to the hotel after a long day. We loved traveling with them. Japan is a beautiful country filled with culture, amazing sites, delicious food and nice people. This was a trip of a lifetime and will have the memories forever. Thank you.

    The Perfect Family Cherry Blossom Trip in Japan! I took my kids on this 10-day private family tour during cherry blossom season, and it was absolutely unforgettable! Everything was smooth and well-planned — from hotel check-ins to daily sightseeing. We felt taken care of every step of the way. Our guide, Bianco, was amazing with the kids — super kind, patient, and full of positive energy. He made every stop fun and engaging for them, telling stories in a way that sparked their curiosity about Japanese culture. It never felt like a history lesson — more like an adventure! My kids absolutely loved him. Bianco also made sure we had enough time to enjoy the cherry blossoms at each spot, and even helped us take lots of great family photos. We never felt rushed — just relaxed and happy. The itinerary was very family-friendly, with a great balance between sightseeing and downtime. Our driver was always punctual, and the hotels were perfect for traveling with kids — clean, comfortable, and close to restaurants and shops. Huge thanks to UME Travel for helping us create such beautiful memories. We’d absolutely book with them again!

    We just got back home, but we’re still talking about our amazing trip to Japan! It was such a memorable experience for our family — especially for our 8-year-old, who absolutely loved Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Japan. He’s still talking about the rides and characters every single day! The whole tour was incredibly well-organized and family-friendly, with just the right balance of fun and sightseeing. A huge thank you to our wonderful guide and driver — they were so kind, patient, and thoughtful the entire way. Traveling with a child can be tricky, but they made everything smooth and stress-free. We’re already missing Japan and all the special memories we made. Truly a trip we’ll never forget!

    I traveled with my three kids on this amazing tour, and I can’t say enough good things! The itinerary was just right — we had plenty of time to enjoy all the sights without feeling rushed, which made the trip so much more relaxing. What really made a difference was that in every city, our guides helped take care of the kids, so I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Amber from UME Travel even made sure we had big, comfortable hotel rooms so the four of us never felt cramped. Huge thanks to Amber and UME Travel for making this family trip stress-free and truly special!

    It was a family trip for us, and everyone had a fantastic time. The sightseeing spots were thoughtfully chosen, and our guide was amazing — very engaging and made sure every detail was taken care of so we could relax and enjoy the journey. The hotels were also a highlight — carefully picked and located in lively neighborhoods, which made it super convenient for us to step out, explore, and shop whenever we wanted. Since we were traveling as a couple with our 6-year-old daughter, Phoebe made sure we had family-friendly rooms, which we really appreciated! Overall, it was a wonderful trip, made even more special by the beautiful cherry blossoms we got to see along the way!

    We had the most amazing time on this trip with our two kids! From start to finish, everything was so well thought out for a family traveling with young children. Our guide was incredibly warm, friendly, and so good with the kids — it really made all the difference. They went above and beyond to help us with the little ones, and it felt like traveling with a trusted friend. What we loved most was how the entire experience was tailored to our family. At every major attraction, the guide explained things in a fun and engaging way that really captured our kids' attention — learning felt like an adventure! When we visited the theme parks, they gave us plenty of time for the kids to enjoy the rides without rushing, which we really appreciated. Every part of the journey felt smooth and stress-free, and we made so many unforgettable memories together as a family. Thank you UME Travel for making this such a special and fun experience for all of us — especially our kids! Highly recommend for any families looking to explore and enjoy without the hassle.

    This was my second time booking a trip with UME Travel. I was a bit sad to hear that Chen, who helped me last time, had left—but this time I was assisted by Amber. To my surprise, she had all the details I’d shared before, like our preferences, budget, and hotel requirements! After a quick chat, she put together an amazing Japan itinerary in just half a day. She even added some fun activities for my two sons, like a sushi-making class and a food tour in Osaka. What really made me happy was that she upgraded our rooms from standard to family rooms for free—and even gave each of my boys a beautiful little collectible figure. I’ll definitely keep choosing UME Travel for future trips!

    We just got back from the 10-Day Japan Essential Family Tour with Kids and couldn't be happier with the experience! We were a group of 6 adults traveling with three energetic kids (two 10-year-old boys and one 8-year-old girl), and this tour was absolutely perfect for a multi-generational family like ours. From start to finish, everything was incredibly well organized. Our guide was amazing — so knowledgeable, patient, and always ready to adjust to the pace and interests of the kids. The driver was also fantastic, making every transfer smooth and comfortable. The itinerary was super family-friendly with the right mix of cultural sights, hands-on experiences, and fun moments for the kids — they especially loved feeding the deer in Nara and the ninja/samurai activities. For the adults, everything from the food to the temples and scenery was a dream. This tour made exploring Japan with kids easy, relaxing, and full of unforgettable memories. Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this trip so special!

    Nathan

    Asked on February 9th, 2025

    We would like to book the family tour but are having some trouble with the accommodation portion. If it is possible to have one queen bed and one single bed that would work. Alternatively having an extra mattress would be okay. My son is 10 years old and will need a full sized single bed mattress.

    Accommodation
    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten February 2025

      In Japan, a double room is normally very small at around 16-19 m² which is not able to add 1 more extra bed, but the twin bed is usually bigger than double bed which is about 20-25 m². For your family, do you think we can arrange either a twin bed + 1 extra bed or a triple room with 3 singe beds for you?

    do you see a few kids on the 10 days Japan Tour with Kids? I dont' want my kid to be the only one on the tour. If you usually have another kid on the tour, that would be advantageous for him
