Trip to Japan

For the trip to Kyoto, I would recommend seats in the Green Car (non-smoking)
on the Bullet Train.

In Tokyo, I think that you and your son would enjoy Odaiba - Joypolis.

I also think that Asakusa would be a fun area to visit.

I will talk with my wife this evening to see if she has any additional ideas.

Thank you again for lunch.
