We love to travel abroad and have been so lucky to have been able to take our young children to different countries. Recently, with high fuel charges backyard travelling is even more enticing. In this blog I intend to include:

Recommended places by longterm residents
Restaurants
Budget trips
Easy access, out of prefecture places
Camping
Hiking
Parks
Shopping

Due to the fact that I have young children and their requirements are more demanding this blog is particularly written with similar families in mind- although in most cases, the places mentioned are suitable for all ages.
