    We had an absolutely wonderful trip to Japan with our family of 11! Thanks to UME Travel’s amazing arrangements, every city we visited came with a warm welcome from our local guides. We enjoyed so many fantastic experiences — making sushi, dressing up for a kimono tea ceremony, trying out ninja costumes, and of course, Tokyo Disneyland, which our kids completely fell in love with! The endless street food was another highlight — we ate so much every day we could barely walk. Our hotels were fantastic too. Since we were traveling with 6 kids, Amber made sure we always had family rooms or connecting rooms, all super spacious and comfortable. We saw so many fun sights and had so many unforgettable experiences. Next time we travel, we’ll definitely choose UME Travel again!

    With Phoebe’s help, we had an amazing trip to Japan with our son! She made some big changes to the itinerary based on what I wanted, and we got to see all the spots we were interested in. Our son had an absolute blast at Disneyland and Universal Studios! Phoebe also upgraded us to spacious family rooms, which made it so much more comfortable to relax after a long day. The hotels were all in lively areas, so it was super convenient for food. The Japanese guides were really friendly and enthusiastic! For anyone looking to avoid group tours, I highly recommend UME Travel — they’re just amazing!

    We just got back from the most amazing 10-day trip to Japan with our kids, and we couldn’t be happier! Amber from UME Travel did an outstanding job organizing everything for us. The itinerary was perfect for our little ones — they absolutely loved the fun-filled days at Nintendo, Tokyo Disneyland, and Universal Studios Japan. It was such a joy to see them so excited! Our guide was fantastic, especially when it came to helping look after the kids. He was patient, kind, and made sure they had a great time, too. The driver was equally wonderful, always there to help with the luggage, making our lives so much easier. Amber even arranged a spacious family room for us, so my sister, my kids, and I were able to all stay together comfortably — it was perfect for our family! Now we’re already planning our next trip with Amber for the end of the year to China! Can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next! Highly recommend this tour for anyone traveling with kids!

    We had such a wonderful family trip to Japan with our little girl — everything was smooth, fun, and super well organized! Our guide made the whole experience even better with his great sense of humor and excellent English. He kept the tours fun and engaging, not just for us but for our daughter too! Our driver was also amazing — always on time, super friendly, and even helped us with our luggage every day, which made things so much easier. The hotels were clean, comfy, and conveniently located, which was perfect for a family like ours. And to top it all off, at the end of the trip, UME Travel arranged for our guide Vincent to give our daughter a beautiful little gift — such a thoughtful surprise that made her day! Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better way to experience Japan together as a family. Highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling with kids!

    This was such an amazing trip! Two moms, two boys, and 10 unforgettable days exploring Japan together — honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better family adventure. The itinerary was so thoughtfully planned, with the perfect balance of fun and culture to keep both us and the kids happy and engaged every step of the way. The sushi-making class and ninja experience were total highlights — the boys had an absolute blast (and so did we!). And of course, a full day at Tokyo Disneyland was pure magic. The boys are still talking about it! Huge thanks to Amber from UME Travel for arranging such comfortable and family-friendly hotels for us. We had connecting rooms, which made it easy to stay close while still giving everyone a little space to relax. Amber really thought of everything — the whole trip felt smooth, fun, and totally stress-free. And a big shoutout to our guide, who was so kind and patient with the kids. They even surprised the boys with cute little gifts at the end of the trip — such a sweet and thoughtful touch that meant so much to all of us. Highly, highly recommend this family-friendly Japan itinerary — it’s the perfect way to explore the country with kids and make lifelong memories together!

    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.

    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?

    John

    Asked on September 24th, 2024

    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
