When my kid was that age we arrived March 12 and left April 2nd. About 3 Weeks. We went to Matsushima for a couple of days but that’s because we have family there. Frankly, there is SO much to do in the Tokyo area with a toddler that we had little interest in touring the country with her, that interest developed later when she showed how capable she is of hiking long distances in natural terrain (tireless with earth under her feet, not so much in paved urban settings). Anyway, even with those 3 weeks we only touched upon what Tokyo has to offer, it’s taken us several years to feel we have fully enjoyed some of the possibilities - still plenty of boxes we have yet to tick (and only a couple of years of half price childhood travel left).

I’ve enjoyed stopovers in Beijing and Shanghai with my kid. In April we will have just under 24 hours in Chengdu, but we haven’t managed Taipei yet. That’s something we hope to arrange in the near future, if we’d had the opportunity we would have been.

You still haven’t said when you are travelling. February or August?
