Thanks, jib71--I really appreciate the links and the heads-up on the toilet supplies situation. I'm guessing we'd probably stay somewhere a bit central and let papa take the train in to work during the days, unless Ikuta is an interesting area. I'm mostly happy wandering about rather than doing traditionally touristy things, though I'm sure there are a few things I'll decide I don't want to miss. Grocery stores and markets, parks, and the like usually keep my son happy. And me.
