Hey everyone, I am taking my wife and two kids (11 and 7) to Japan in November. We have five days in Tokyo, a week with a campervan (starting in Narita) and then another week. Looking for recommendations for places to go with the campervan and also the last week. It's our first visit!

Not sure...I'm expecting some temperatures down around freezing at night, but it seems like fall peak colours are about a month later than we experience in southern Ontario where I live.
