Mom traveling in Japan w/2 kids... suggestions please

Mom traveling with 2 boys (ages 10 & 12) in October. Spending 1st week on a 'student summit' in Murakami (north of Niigata). 2nd week we're on our own and anxious to experience the culture, people and sights of Japan. Why Sadoshima? Planned on spending a couple days on Sado-shima, 2-3 days around Kanazawa and stopping in Takayama on the way back to the airport in Tokyo. ****however, I am very open to suggestions**** A 14 day JR line pass is a definate purchase. Is it necessary? If you're on a 'student summit' will you be traveling around a lot? Will you actually use seven days of travel? Is travel to/from the summit paid for? I'd check out all your options; the passes are easier, and if you're going to use for more then seven days (such as if the summit is only five days; you get the idea) then it's a no brainer. Use http://www.hyperdia.com/cgi-english/ if you need to rough figure rail costs. Also, investigate the regional passes available. Would love to hear suggestions, options and experiences of traveling with a budget in mind... and perhaps what you have witnessed other children enjoying. Perhaps think about Kamakura; though I've yet to take my son to it (he's four), I've heard from other parents that the kids really like the big buddha (you can go inside it). John W. |
