Still continued from the previous entry on travelling to Japan with kids and family. Since we have divided the task to arrange on the itinerary on each place. So my husband and I took the responsibility to plan on the next town which is Tokyo. We have decided to make an agent while we were in Tokyo, this is just because we are planning to go to a lot of places while we were there and by bringing the kids together we need a van or minibus to ensure the journey is smooth from one place to another plus to save more time.
After some searching for a possible agent that we can use, and some comparison of price.we agreed to used Miyako International. You can check it out through this link Tourist agent Halal in Japan . The person that I contacted is Mar, and she is a Malaysian that has been living in Japan for a couple of years there. So she helps me to work the plan and everything within our budget. The important thing is while bringing kids to travel is eating time. So we just leave it to the agent to handle it. We don't deny that it is quite several halal restaurants have existed there, but the thing is to go and search with a bunch of groups we think it much easier to leave it to them. But if you still want to search by yourselves, our advice is there is some group end up calling the agent over there and asking for the direction to go to the restaurant and wasted time in searching place to eat. After all, it is up to you to decide. If you are familiar in the areas in Japan, it should be no problem in searching for Halal food.
`Here is The website of the tour agent in Japan. You can check it out as they always have an attractive package to offer or else you can customise your plan as we did.
We went to Tokyo from Osaka by Shinkansen - High-Speed inter-city passenger train in Japan or we called it bullet train. You can buy the ticket online or walk in. For the kids basically no charge for them. We just follow Maria's advised on what time to buy the ticket and her agent will wait for us at the station.

Some tips for parents travelling with a kid
- Prepared the appropriate clothes (suit with the climate at the place to go)
- Healthy snacks/food-biscuits, fruits, rice or anything that keep them full.Unless you then to spend all day to stay in a restaurant.:}
- Formula milk day to day-small storage to keep the milk for the travelling day today.
- Formula milk For the length of your stay -You can estimate the amount of the formula milk with the days you are travelling.
- Bring adequate pampers/diapers.
- Also, baby swipe-You can bring the small packet each day you travel.
- Small thermos with hot water and also standard water to make their milk in case they want it in the bus/taxi/van.
- Hot oil or any oil associated-To ensure the warmest of your kids. It is Also useful to avoid them catch a cold, sprinkle leg or arms, any cut, stomach ache or any minor use.
- Get some essential medicine from your doctor such as for fever, cough, flu, allergic and so on.
- If the place that you go need to take some injection to make sure you do that 2 weeks before you go the site.
- Baby Stroller-get some plastic cover according to your stroller or appropriate blanket if it is during winter. Suit with the climate of the country
- Don't let your kids alone or tend to leave them for a second. You are not familiar with the place and also the people.
Tips for packing your luggage bag
- If you are bringing a lot of clothes, I suggest you get a vacuum bag. I have bought that through my deal.com. I guess you also can get it at luggage department, daiso or any store related. You won't believe that small luggage can accommodate a family of two small children. Try it yourself.
Here are some photos to enjoy.
This plastic cover for the baby stroller is a big helper for me.It is beneficial since it is windy and so cold. The best thing is when my children sleep comfortably while walking here and there.
The most essential thing while travelling with kids is the accessories for them while holidaying during winter. This to avoid them from caught a cold.
Bare in mind, all are in Japanese text...This picture above is the ticket machine for the train as we have in Kuala Lumpur except they are in the Japanese language.

.
Inside The Shinkansen, is a network of high-speed railway lines to Odawara. From there we will go to Tokyo by minibus.
It is a high-speed train...until We have not realised we have reached the destination.
Ok the bus has been waiting for us to a restaurant
Still can't believe the beauty of His Creation...
Since I also have a friend who studies her PhD there, she had suggested me to pay a visit to Hokkaido next if we are planning to go to Japan again. From my personal perspective, I love the country for their cleanliness, their culture, the exciting places and of course you can do your shopping thing. Do plan one for yours.:}
