Hello everyone who is viewing Activity Japan BLOG. Usually, I write this blog mainly about outdoor activities that I am interested in, but this time I will make an exception. When I write these kinds of blogs, my friends ask me things like, ``Don't you know anything about ○○ in ○○?'' or ``Can't you get a reservation at a discount?'' The latter is completely impossible, haha. As for the former, I have some details, but there are also areas and events that I have no interest in (unrelated to), so I feel like I can't say anything... However, this time it's an area that I have some interest in, and I'm a parent who has the same child. As a special request, I would like to research and write about ``Plays you can enjoy with children while traveling to Kyoto''. Of course, it wouldn't be a good idea to just research it and tell it personally, so I'd say, ``Check out this blog!'' Lol So if you are thinking of traveling to Kyoto in 2019, please use this as a reference.
