The high value of the yen will inevitably trash touurism in Japan. There are much cheaper and better value-for-money destinations.

A big part of the problem here is lack of parental time and lack of open space. When I was bringing up my kids in the UK evenings and weekends it was easy for us all to make a trip to the beach or the hills, kick a ball around, walk the dog.
In big cities here there are few places to do that and in any case daddy will be chained to his desk in the office.
