Well, if it is to visit relatives, probably early on (under 6 months) would be easiest. But if it is to just travel, I would wait until after the terrible twos if possible. Older children can be 'bribed' by Nintendo DSs, DVD players, Comic books, etc, but two year olds are more fickle. :) Makoto is two and a half now. Hi Michael,

It sounds like Makoto is loving the entire experience. My wife & I are just starting our own family and were wondering what age would be the right time to take our "to-be-conceived" child to Japan. I went when I was young (my mom is Japanese), but I don't remember too much from that first trip. What age is Makoto? What a wonderful beginning to your trip!
