Cat search
This is a game where you search for and tap on cats that blend into black-and-white landscapes.
When you correctly find and tap a cat, it gains color.
If you get stuck, you can get hints, and it also shows how many cats remain, which makes it fun.
The cute “meow” sound that plays when you find and tap one is irresistible.
As you move up through the stages, the number of hidden cats increases, and they may become harder to find.
It’s a game we highly recommend for households that love cats.
My first camping experience.
If you want to have a blast with your kids, a camping trip is highly recommended.
In the great outdoors, they can run around to their hearts’ content and try things they don’t usually get to do, like setting up a tent or cooking rice in a mess tin.
Camping also boosts survival awareness, so be sure to enjoy it as a family!
Try canyoning.
Are you familiar with the sport called “canyoning”? It’s a sport where you make your way down a mountain stream using just your body, and it’s well known overseas.
This sport has recently made its way to Japan, and there are courses where even children can try it.
Why not give it a go and get ahead of the trend?

Let’s rent a camper van.
If you want to enjoy camping safely even in winter, I recommend using a camper van.
Owning one can be very expensive, but renting solves that problem.
It’s great that many have heaters you can use even with the engine off.
If everyone can stretch out and sleep comfortably inside, your kids are sure to be thrilled.
Challenge: Conquer the adventure course in the forest
How about trying an activity where you tackle an adventure course in a park at your travel destination? It’s not just a mountain trail—there are nets to climb and logs to cross, making it a course full of real adventure.
You’ll encounter local plants and animals, so it’s educational too—two birds with one stone.
It’s an activity that leaves kids highly satisfied.
Challenge yourself with trekking.
How about enjoying a trekking experience surrounded by nature on a trip with children? Trekking through the mountains while observing lots of animals and plants is easy to enjoy since the goal isn’t to reach the summit.
Breathe in nature’s energy, and you’re sure to soothe both your mind and body.
Let’s enjoy fruit picking
A recommended activity for enjoying local specialty fruits while traveling is fruit picking.
The luxury of eating the fruit you’ve just picked on the spot is a rare treat, and kids will love it.
In this video, it’s heartwarming to see two sisters enjoying fruit picking with several varieties like grapes, peaches, and pears.
