Summer Vacation Experiences / Activities / Leisure Frequently Asked Questions
Q Which prefecture is popular with families with children for summer vacation experience and leisure?
A Okinawa Prefecture, which can be said to be an "activity paradise," is the most popular destination for families with children as a summer vacation experience / leisure destination. Okinawa is one of the best resort islands in Japan where you can experience the outdoors with your children not only in summer but throughout the year. Hokkaido, with its magnificent nature, is also a popular leisure spot for families with children. Hokkaido has a strong image of a "winter resort", but there are many popular outdoor activities that you can experience only in the summer. There are many cheap tours, and it is an area that parents and children can enjoy.
Q What are the popular experiences / activities / leisure activities for children during the summer vacation?
A From July to September, when travel demand peaks, "outdoor activities" are actively held at many spots such as the sea, rivers, mountains, and the sky. Marine activities such as snorkeling and diving are also recommended for families as there are tours that even children can easily experience. Depending on the location, there are many summer tours such as rafting and nature guides, so it is recommended that parents and children participate.
Q What spots can children and elementary school children (lower grades) enjoy leisure during the summer vacation?
A During the summer vacation, it is hot and you are worried about heat stroke, but you can rest assured that it will be cool if you experience making things indoors. Compared to the outdoors, the target age is often younger, so there is no need to worry about sudden changes in the weather such as rain. Manufacturing that can be experienced in a short time is also recommended for summer vacation homework and assignments. Factory tours are attended by children, and there are many activities that adults can enjoy by returning to their childhood.
Q What are the precautions to take when experiencing the outdoors and leisure during the summer vacation?
A There are unexpected dangers in outdoor leisure activities in rivers and the sea. When you are experiencing the tour, you need to keep an eye on your child even for a short time, take a break when you are not feeling well, and be sure to wear a life jacket. It's also not uncommon to get absorbed in playing and forget to rehydrate. Even if you are not thirsty, set a time and try to prevent heat stroke by hydrating frequently. Recently, ultraviolet rays are getting stronger year by year. Be sure to wear a hat and sunglasses to protect your eyes and skin when you experience the outdoors and leisure activities in the river or the sea. Don't forget your sunscreen.
