People from Tokyo & Kansai travel all the way to Noto for Wakura Onsen & Kaga Onsen at Ishikawa. You at Ishikawa but go to Gifu  biggrin.gif

That said, I visited Noto more than 10 times, mostly car camping around the peninsula laugh.gif

Kagaonsen not that many but only when bringing new visitors

Dont think I noticed any during my recent visit. Ended getting one near a matcha shop and the price is also on the fancy end sad.gif
Heading over next month and hope to get something nice and cheaper smile.gif

I don't usually come across the tea ceremony stuff here but the last time i saw one of it was in this museum..otherwise usually buy online Amazon.jp, etc.

Mid Jan in Osaka will be cold. Japan alot restraurant (small) & famous are not baby + children friendly / welcome. Make sure you do homework, find baby welcome restraurant. Alot alot restraurant do not accept age 7 belowsmile.gif

Family style restraurant like Ootoya , Yayoi 100% ok  biggrin.gif

Let say some restraunt you like to try...you saw from youtube / xiaohongsu / Insta....etc etc...Just go to Google Map key in the restraurant name....then go to menu section....if  menu no children meal means ..Age below 7 are not allow.

Anyone self drive when travel in Japan?
I am traveling with baby stroller.. taking public transport find bit hassle
*
which part of JP? rural vs big city Osaka/Tokyo very diff.
if rural then self drive no probs..Tokyo drive w/ stroller vs public transport w/ stroller, I would go for public transport and not travel during rush hour time.

the only thing that's a hassle with stroller is looking for lift whether in station/building exit.
