1. Where do you think I should go/recommend
My best recommendation for you is somewhere in Southeast Asia particularly in Bali Island since it's one of the best spots for family travel and vacation destination in Asia.
2. What places have the coolest stuff? ex. Candy, souvenirs, food
They usually have the best places and souvenirs shop from exotic to the usual native art designs.
3. How much will it cost?
Depends with what your family could afford. Usually, a 4 member family can spend 10k for a week luxury vacation in one of Bali Island's private villa
4. When should I go?
There are zoo, nature parks, hiking or trekking trails and especially the beautiful beaches and ocean great for surfing, scuba diving and all other beach activities.

If you intend to shop some, well, it depends with how much your parent would give you. ;)

im half french and i havnt been to japan or germany but i can tell you Lacanau in France is super chill. You can rent a place near the beach and during the summer the beeach is awsome there, girls go topless and there is no coral, so the waves form from the sand, making injuries almost impossible. Candy there is super chill if you go into the tabac shops, and pretty cheap. as for food french food is always good, so dont worry about that. Not sure about the money thing, but always bring more than you think. If beaches arent for you i dont know how to help you
Looks like you have some advertisers answering this question. ;) I'm a Canadian, and I've been to France and Germany but not Japan...
But I'll answer your second question of what has the coolest stuff - definitely Japan! Have you ever seen Japanese candy, drinks, and quirky little things you can buy? Very different from here. We have a Japanese candy store, and it's so neat!
Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient! Its stunning Victoria Harbour and The Peak have just been rated as Asia's No.1 skyline by a Japanese TV Station. A CNN poll also confirmed that Hong Kong is a must-visit in Asia.
HK has rich culture and history that give a perfect blend of the west and the east. Walk up the world's longest Escalator which begins from Central District and goes all the way up to the Mid-Levels. Along the Escalator you'll come across the early English settlement near Aberdeen Street, you'll also pass by Soho, South of Hollywood Rd, which is a very unique bar and restaurant street. Hollywood Rd is the famous antique street where genuine Chinese antiques and many old stuffs are sold.
From Causeway Bay - Central District - Tsimshatsui District - Mongkok District along the MTR (subway) route are where most of the fascinating shoppings, restaurants, vibrant night life and gorgeous harbour view lies.
If you like green, sea and nature, and are not in a rush in going to places visiting one of the outlying islands ie the Silvermine Bay of Lantau Island is quite relax and gives a completely different impression of Hong Kong than the one often see in pictures. Simply catch a ferry from the Central Pier right outside IFC Building. The ferry trip takes about 30 minutes, a very relaxed ride in the midst of a hustling bustling city.
Another beautiful scenic area is Sai Kung District, there're beautiful mountains, sea and a Seafood Street where you can handpick life seafood, have the restaurant cook them any way you like and enjoy it in front of the clear blue sea. There're many beautiful mountain trails in Hong Kong, a popular one that goes all the way down to Aberdeen from the Peak. It'll take more than an hour to walk down. In Aberdeen, (you could also take a bus in Central, Causeway Bay or Wanchai Districts to get there), lies the Chinese boat restaurant "JUMBO" in the middle sea which is awesome.
HK is renowned as the world's shopping and dining paradise. You can eat like a billionaires, in the same token there're many affordable places with unbelievable prices. HK has the cheapest McDonald's prices on earth. A Cantonese wonton noodle soup is only around US$2. A popular Chinese fast food chain all over the city, the De Coral Fast Food with combo meals under US$5.
Buying brand names and electronics are popular as the City boasts the only zero sales tax nor import tariffs in Asia, imported goods are at 20% - 100% cheaper than anywhere else in the world. Street vendors or flea markets is another interesting shopping paradise, they have all sorts of products selling at knockoff prices, eg the Ladies Street, the evening Temple Street vendors in Kowloon side, Stanley Market in HK side etc. Small street shops in Mongkok and Causeway Bay Districts may give you surprises too. There're also many street vendors located in inner side streets of Central District, Wan Chai District, near Johnston Road and Causeway Bay District that sell genuine factory exports left-overs at around US$5 for a branded T-shirt. Most prices are fixed, you may be able to bargain a few $ though in small shops and street vendors. You will hardly find any fakes or copies in the City as law enforcement against counterfeits is strict.
Everywhere in the City is well connected by its efficient and timely public transportation system, the MTR, big and mini buses. Cost is from under US$1 - $2 per ride. It's easiest to travel by MTR which runs pass all the central shopping and business districts, then either connect to a bus or walk to your destination. Separate fares are charged for each ride. Star Ferry that crosses the Victoria Harbour, and the Island Tram that runs from the East, Shaukeiwan District to the West, Kennedy Town of the HK Island are only US$0.3 per ride which is a must for tourists. If you like exploring on your own, simply follow the map, people on the streets always happy to offer directions. HK is one of the most foreigner-friendly cities on earth, plus lots of fun and excitement, visitors often find the place the most vibrant, exciting city that never sleeps, even when you get bored at 3 AM, you could go and have a drink in the bar or even have a delicious late snack. Convenience Stores are located in almost every corner of the main streets and are opened around the clock. The best of all, HK is extremely easy to get around being supported by affordable and efficient public transportation. HK people are very responsive and efficient in work attitudes that make shopping, dining or doing business a very wonderful experience. You'll also notice that the people will automatically stand by the side when walking up and down the stairs and escalators, not blocking those behind.

Africs
myself - I look for American friendly countries - as it can really make the trip special
if you have noting in mind I would suggest either Ireland (the most American country) or the Netherlands (the second most)
for me - that makes all the difference - but that is just me.
