Japan 2026

Tokyo is the final chapter: settle into Shibuya, choose a few strong family days together, then leave calmly from Narita on July 30.

Shared family plan · updated 24 July

Tokyo · the final six nights

We have landed at Haneda Terminal 2 and the driving chapter is over. Each remaining day offers a few realistic bundles so the family can choose the wake-up time, energy level and tradeoff together.

Right now: use the Yamato counter before leaving Haneda if the large bags should wait at Narita, then go directly to Tokyo Guesthouse / Jinnan. Keep tonight easy.

Go to tomorrow Departure plan

The Shibuya base and flights are fixed. Choose only one major anchor per day and leave room for friends, food and recovery.

Explore Activities

Tokyo is now the active cluster. Hokkaido remains available below only as completed trip history.

Start here · Tokyo 24-30 July

The remaining shape is intentionally simple: settle in today, fireworks tomorrow, one TeamLab visit, then flexible family time before the Narita departure.

Today · arrive without dragging the bags

AIRDO landed at Haneda Terminal 2 at 14:20. At the 1F domestic-arrivals Yamato counter, send any unneeded large suitcases to Narita Terminal 1 North Wing for collection on 30 July, then take a taxi to Jinnan.

Haneda → Jinnan route.

Saturday · protect the fireworks evening

Keep the morning local and light. Check the official decision at 08:00, eat early and leave for the Sumida viewing area around 15:30-16:00. Fireworks run 19:00-20:30.

Open the fireworks plan.

Choose one TeamLab

Planets in Toyosu remains the recommended family choice because it is physical and interactive. Use Borderless only if the closer, more art-led experience fits better.

Book one timed slot for 26-28 July; do not put it on fireworks day.

Keep one child-owned choice

Disney can be a complete day if the children choose it. Otherwise use the same day for friends, Shibuya, food and shopping without manufacturing another attraction checklist.

Disney, TeamLab and fireworks are three separate high-energy anchors.

Wednesday · close calmly

Complete KLM online check-in at 06:15, choose seats, see friends, buy only specific final items and keep the evening for packing.

No new all-day attraction on 29 July.

Thursday · Narita is the whole day

Leave Shibuya early enough to reach Narita Terminal 1 North Wing around 09:15. Collect forwarded bags from the 4F Yamato counter, then check them with KLM for KL0862 at 12:15.

Forwarded luggage is delivered to the airport counter; it is not checked automatically onto the aircraft.

Current Route

Hokkaido is complete. The only remaining movement is Haneda to Shibuya today and Shibuya to Narita on 30 July.

Hokkaido · completed 24 Jul

The car was returned and AIRDO reached Haneda Terminal 2 at 14:20. The mountain and road-planning chapter is now history.

Tokyo · active 24-30 Jul

Tokyo Guesthouse / Jinnan is the six-night Shibuya base. Fireworks, one TeamLab, friends, one possible child-led day and enough unstructured Tokyo time.

Narita → Amsterdam · 30 Jul

Reach Terminal 1 North Wing around 09:15, collect any forwarded bags, and protect KL0862 at 12:15.

Hokkaido Car Help

Toyota Sienta
Accident, even minor

Safety, police, then Toyota

  1. Stop safely. Check everyone and prevent further danger.
  2. Call 119 if anyone is injured.
  3. Call police on 110, even for a scratch or minor collision. A police accident report is required for insurance.
  4. Call Toyota Suzuran. Do not settle privately with another driver. Keep every towing/payment receipt and sign Toyota's accident report.

JAF provides basic roadside service. Tire repair or replacement, parts, fuel, ditch recovery, and excess towing can still be chargeable.

Coverage and remaining exposure

Booked: Toyota compensation coverage waives the JPY 50,000 property and vehicle deductibles. For an eligible accident, ToCoo T.A.S. covers N.O.C. and accident-related towing up to JPY 100,000.

  • Police and Toyota must be contacted, and Toyota must issue its accident report. Submit any T.A.S. reimbursement claim within 60 days after return.
  • Towing may need to be paid first. Keep the towing receipt; T.A.S. covers towing only when the same incident also incurs N.O.C.
  • Insurance can be denied for an unauthorized or unlicensed driver, alcohol, an unauthorized rental extension, or other rental-agreement violations.
  • Flat-tire repair/replacement, hubcaps, wrong fuel, battery service, lockout/key loss, parking/traffic penalties, and prohibited-use damage remain outside T.A.S.
  • If an accident makes the car unusable, Toyota says the rental ends with no refund or guaranteed replacement vehicle.

Toyota's base sheet lists N.O.C. at JPY 20,000 if the car returns under its own power or JPY 50,000 if it does not; our T.A.S. is the separate protection for that charge.

Open Planning Gaps

One timed booking

Choose and book one TeamLab slot for Jul 26-28. Planets remains the recommended family fit; Borderless is the closer, more art-led alternative.

Narita exit
