And this is truer than ever in the country&#8217;s cultural hub Kyoto, where temples, ancient tea houses and bamboo forest lie amidst the forested mountains. The city is also home to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toei-eigamura.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Toei Kyoto Studio Park<\/a>, a theme-park-style movie set recreating a samurai town from the Edo period. Catch live ninja performances, get lost in the ninja maze and be astounded by the 360\u00b0 3D theatre and haunted house. Visitors even have the opportunity to dress up as samurai and geisha. While you&#8217;re in Kyoto, enjoy panoramic views on the Sagano Scenic Railway. This nostalgic train follows railway tracks through the mountains and along Hozugawa River, before arriving in Arashiyama where a bamboo forest is waiting to be explored.<\/p>\n<p><em>Travel to Kyoto as a family on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/destinations\/asia\/japan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Samurai Discovery<\/a> trip with Trafalgar.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Spotting Elks in the Grand Canyon<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5690\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/02\/Must-visit-destinations-for-kids_Grand-Canyon_\u00a9-Erik-Harrison_iStock_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Destinations for Kids\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Must-visit-destinations-for-kids_Grand-Canyon_\u00a9-Erik-Harrison_iStock_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Must-visit-destinations-for-kids_Grand-Canyon_\u00a9-Erik-Harrison_iStock_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Must-visit-destinations-for-kids_Grand-Canyon_\u00a9-Erik-Harrison_iStock_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Must-visit-destinations-for-kids_Grand-Canyon_\u00a9-Erik-Harrison_iStock_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Must-visit-destinations-for-kids_Grand-Canyon_\u00a9-Erik-Harrison_iStock_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Must-visit-destinations-for-kids_Grand-Canyon_\u00a9-Erik-Harrison_iStock_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Covering an immense area of 277 river miles, the one-mile deep Grand Canyon is justifiably named one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
