Hi,

we are a young family (couple+1.5 yo boy) and we plan to make a long visit to Japan. We will go as tourists, as this is what we want to do (we won't work).

We want to settle down in one place (rent a flat) and put our kid in a local kindergarten. Will that be possible? For the flat we will take a japanese speaker with us to translate all docs etc.

But is it realistic with the kindergarten issue? Will our kid be given a place as a tourist? Are there any private kindergartens? How much is it per month?

We won't go to Tokyo, we prefer a smaller town that has a karate dojo and a relaxed atmosphere...any tips on that?
