As there are a large number of people, and we are planning to have three generations, including grandparents and children, it will be very difficult to move around. Rather than deciding where to go first, such as ``Let's go to Hokkaido in the summer'' or ``I want to play in the sea in Okinawa!'', it's a good idea to consider travel time and means of transportation when deciding on a destination.If you have small children, it will be stress-free to choose a destination that is as close to home as possible or that is easy to access.
When traveling on the Shinkansen or on a plane, it can be difficult to keep small children quiet.Traveling for long hours with small children can be a burden on grandparents.If possible, it would be best to choose a facility that allows you to move by car.
With activities that the whole family can enjoy, you can create wonderful memories on a three-generation trip.If you want to reduce the burden of traveling to your destination, it would be a good idea to choose a facility that has activities on-site or that is close to tourist attractions.
For example, there are many accommodations that have facilities and activities coexisting within the facility, such as pools for small children to enjoy, playground equipment for playing in a natural environment, and natural hot springs where grandparents can relax.
Many hotels and inns offer buffet or buffet-style meal plans where you can choose what you like for both dinner and breakfast.However, it can be a burden for grandparents to have to travel every time they need to eat.You may have to take turns watching over the children while going out to eat.
When traveling for three generations, we recommend having dinner and breakfast in a sit-down style where you can enjoy your meal in peace.There are Japanese food and seafood dishes that adults will enjoy, and there are also places that offer meals for children, so be sure to check them out.
When traveling with three generations, it is common for everyone to stay in one large room, but this makes it difficult to maintain privacy for each other when changing clothes, etc.Most of all, many wives want to avoid sleeping in the same room as their father-in-law, and are concerned about being with their mother-in-law XNUMX/XNUMX.Also, many people want to let their grandchildren and grandparents spend as much time together as possible, but are worried about leaving them alone.
In such a case, it is best to choose a lodging where the grandparents and grandchildren can spend time together during the day, but have rooms that allow them to have privacy when sleeping.
At your accommodation, children's cries, running noises, and loud noises may be a nuisance to other guests.However, it would be pitiful to have to make your child quiet all the time on a special trip.
If you have small children, it may be a good idea to consider accommodations where you can rent out a whole house, such as a villa or cottage, rather than resort hotels or inns where the rooms are adjacent to each other.This is a private space where you can relax without worrying about your surroundings.Another great feature is that grandparents can rest in their room right away when they get tired.
In the case of a three-generation trip, the grandparents will often say, ``You can leave the meals and destinations up to us. Anything is fine.''However, when you actually go on a trip, you may find yourself complaining, such as ``I wish the food was lighter'' or ``I was tired because it was so far from the sightseeing spots.''
Rather than leaving it up to the children to decide on accommodations and plans, it is recommended that they discuss their opinions with their grandparents before making any decisions.
Glamping facilities are recommended as a place to stay when traveling for three generations.Glamping facilities have the following points that are great for three-generation travelers.
・Environment where you can spend time comfortably while being close to the outdoors
・Although it is a private space, it is easy to ensure privacy.
・Extraordinary and luxurious meals that can be enjoyed in a seated style
- Plenty of outdoor activities that can be enjoyed within the facility or nearby.
Glamping facilities are close to nature, but have the same comfortable facilities and services as resort hotels and inns.There are many facilities where you can rent out the entire building, and there are also many villa and cottage-type rooms where you can spend time together in a shared living space and sleep in separate rooms, making them perfect for trips with three generations.
We also have glamping BBQ and other meals where you can enjoy luxurious local ingredients without the hassle of preparation or transportation.In addition, some glamping facilities have meal plans that are appealing to the elderly, such as Japanese and Western food menus other than BBQ, and hot pots in the winter.
Some facilities, such as private pools, natural hot springs, and saunas, are located inside or right next to the room.When it comes to glamping in an outdoor environment, there are many facilities that offer outdoor activities that even those who are new to camping or have no camping experience can easily enjoy.Therefore, it is also attractive that you can enjoy it without leaving the facility.If you choose a glamping facility near the facility that offers tourist attractions and outdoor activities that even seniors can enjoy, you are sure to have a highly satisfying trip.
