During our summertime trip to Japan, we explored incense-heavy shrines, wandered through gardens bursting with hydrangeas, marveled at castles, indulged in street food, met wild monkeys, and sauntered through a bamboo forest. The kids made it clear that Japan lights up all five of your senses - no matter what age you are.
We encountered sacred deer that bowed when we fed them crackers. At the foot of Mt. Nijo, my boys learned about Japan's oldest sport: Sumo wrestling.
At Kehayaza Sumo Museum, we took our shoes off and sat in a box seat on cushions to watch. We were the sole spectators at the event that aims to educate visitors on the art of sumo.
