Japan's Secret Rules for Kids + Family Trip Planner | Japan Travel with Kids Printable | A4 & US Letter PDF
JAPAN FAMILY TRIP PLANNER — for parents traveling with kids 0–12 (Updated Nov 2026)
Plan your Japan trip around naps, snacks and energy — not just sights. Made by a homeschooling family living in Japan, this 36-page printable planner answers the questions parents ask most: strollers and elevators, pacing by age, jet lag, food and allergies, kids' fares, and where children can simply run and play.
★ THE SECRET SAUCE — JAPAN'S SECRET RULEBOOK
24 unwritten rules locals know but never say (no tipping, the little money tray, toilet slippers, escalator sides, chopstick rules and more) — explained by a family who lives here, as cut-out cards with a mission for your kids on each one. Plus a Rule Detective quiz and a “Japan Manners Master” certificate.
