Travel

From nature trails and mountain walk to tree-top zip-slide, there's no better option for a family holiday.

With careful research and thorough planning, independent family travel is the best bet for freedom and flexibility. Why not? We know our kids the best and are therefore most capable of finding the magic formula.

Believe me, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much fun as simply compiling a wish list with family and making the dream come true. We did that when our family explored Hiroshima-ken this week. Three of us were relaxed and in good spirits. We always are when we travel.

When our flight left Hiroshima this afternoon, we were already counting the days until next trip.
