Food costs: what to expect
Expect to spend anywhere from $30 a day per person to $100 a day per person. this is dependent on how fancy you want your food to be. but either way lunch meals average $10 and dinner meals $30 for a nice restaurant. Ideally we will be getting half our meals "togo" to eat at the air bnb for a kid friendly feel. I'd only plan on eating on a select few nice places for date nights or large set meals that are sharable with the kids.

About
Plan A - 12 Days
Only plan with both EXPO and Hotsprings. The hot-springs are more for adults and may be too hot for children to enjoy, the air bnb here is extra kid friendly to offset the adults and kids wants evenly. I would recommend the hotsprings option if you do not plan on coming back to japan since it's a must try bucket list, but if you do plan on coming back then maybe wait till kids are older for best experience. This one is Most expensive but has all the bells and whistles. 15th- Loose day in travel 16th- AM Plane travel, PM Gion city walk around 17th- Arashiyama 18th- AM Osaka Aquarium, PM Dontonburi shopping canal 19th- AM Osaka world expo 20th- AM Nara Deer park, PM Fushimi-inari sunset hike 21st- AM Osaka Flea market & Kids Plaza, PM Train to tokyo 22nd- AM Teamlab borderless, PM Skytree Tower Shopping 23rd- Hakone Day trip Resort spa stay 24th- AM Hakone Open-air Museum, PM Back to Tokyo 25th- Tokyo Disney SEA 26th- AM Botanical Gardens, PM Plane ride back
Getting the most out of the trip for kids and adults but priciest option.
About
Plan B - 12 Days * Brii's Pick
More adult Air BNB with amazing views at a better price but No Hakone
Slower paced allows day to be dictated by kids need for rest when needed, still hits all the expected places to see and gives lots of time for exploring and chilling out. Personally, Brii likes having a flexible schedule like this one cause lets you stop and smell the roses and not worry about packing in experiences in a short time, more spontaneous for finding hidden gems. 15th- Loose day in travel 16th- AM Plane travel, PM Gion city walk around 17th- All DAY Arashiyama 18th- AM Osaka Aquarium, PM Dontonburi shopping canal 19th- All DAY Osaka world expo 20th- AM Nara Deer park, PM Fushimi-inari sunset hike 21st- AM Osaka Flea market & Kids Plaza, PM Kizumadera Temple 22nd- AM Train to tokyo, PM Skytree Tower Shopping plaza 23rd- AM Botanical gardens, PM Themed cafes & Shibuya crossing 24th- AM Teamlab borderless,PM Asakusa Temple Shopping 25th- All DAY Tokyo Disney SEA 26th- AM Last Minute Shopping, PM Plane ride back
About
Plan C - 10 Days *George's Pick
Most bang for your buck option for what you get because it still hits majority of highlights, there is No Expo day and it is a little more crowded schedule. This option is good if you think 12 days is too long to be away from work, but still want to try to see as much as you can. This plan will be a hit or miss in regards to how well the kids adjust to traveling at a faster pace. So that is something to keep in mind. 17th- Loose day in travel 18th- AM Plane travel, PM Gion city walk around 19th- ALL DAY Arashiyama 20th- AM Nara Deer park, PM Fushimi-inari sunset hike 21st- AM Osaka Flea market & Kids Plaza Osaka PM Kyoto Shopping street 22nd- AM Osaka Aquarium PM Train to tokyo 23rd- AM Teamlab borderless, PM Skytree Tower Shopping 24th- AM Asakusa Temple Shopping PM Themed cafes & Shibuya crossing 25th- ALL DAY Tokyo Disney SEA 26th- AM Botanical Gardens, PM Plane flight home
Ticks All of the marks, sacrifices world expo and Hakone but allows extra time in tokyo
About
Plan D - 08 Days
This is the cheapest possible option I could come up with that still gives everyone a good taste of what japan has to offer. The tokyo air bnb is muchhhhhh smaller than the other options and the schedule doesn’t really allow for much wiggle room. But its a great option if you can’t go for longer than a week. I will keep in mind it is a shorter time period so time zone changes can be harder for the kids in this short of a span. But it will be great regardless of the time trame. This is good if you just want to test the waters and come back again soon. I have done this itinerary with adults but not with kids before. 17th- Loose day in travel 18th- M Plane travel, PM Gion city walk around 19th- AM Arashiyama PM Gion Shopping street 20th- AM Nara Deer park, PM Fushimi-inari sunset hike 21st- AM Osaka Flea market PM Osaka Aquarium 22nd- AM Train to tokyo, AM Teamlab borderless, PM Skytree Tower Shopping 23rd- ALL DAY Tokyo Disney SEA 24th- AM Botanical Gardens, PM Plane flight home
Cheapest possible option, but rushed and a little cramped.
