Active Fun
Japan's clean, fast, and affordable public
transportation system provides ready
access to the Japanese countryside. The
densely forested mountains, lush green of
rice paddies, and pristine beaches are
idealnatural playgrounds. Take the kids to
Niseko’s slopes for
some of Japan’s best
Plowingthrough skiing (p319), or to
the snow on cross- learn to surf (p43) in
country skis in Niseko the waves of Miyazaki.
Theme Parks
Children will clamor to visit
Tokyo Disneyland, home to
Mickey Mouse and his pals. Here you
can ride hair-raising roller coasters,
and have your photo taken with
one of Disney’s iconic characters
(www.tokyodisneyresort.jp). If
you only have time for one of the
parks, choose Tokyo DisneySea for its
under-the-sea theme. To explore the
worlds of some of your favorite
movies, head to Universal Studios
(p220) in Osaka or, for a wackier
experience, go to Huis Ten Bosch,
near Nagasaki (p269). Occupying a
seafront plot the size of Monaco, this
vast park re-creates a 17th-century
Dutch town, with windmills, canals,
and narrow houses.
