Seaside Trip with Children: Minami-Boso

Close to Tokyo but far from the city, there are great places to visit in Japan if you're traveling with young children. On this edition of Journeys in Japan, the Koivumaa family from Finland - Mikko, Elisa and their children Eero and Eeva - are making a short trip to Minami-Boso, in southern Chiba Prefecture. This coastal area has great seafoods and products that you can buy at local markets, so you can prepare your own meals. The climate is mild and the air is clean, and there are lots to see and do - for both adults and children. Traveling as a family in Japan isn't just easy, it's lots of fun.
