Also, at the time there were several incidents of children kidnapped/murdered/abandoned (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsutomu_Miyazaki, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affair_of_the_four_abandoned_children_of_Sugamo, NOv 1990 a girl was kidnapped at knifepoint and not found until 9 years later, etc.) which were widely covered in the news, and I'd imagine that people would be on the lookout for suspicious behavior and children being taken places by people not their parents. Thus, insisting that they were siblings and were en route home/to relatives' house would probably be a good cover; made even better if the 16-y-o had an adult accomplice who would be willing to take a call from an inn keeper saying that "Yes, my kids, Koji and his younger brother Eitaro, missed their bus and can't get another until the morning, I'd appreciate you letting them stay there for the night."
(Overnight buses, by the way, are another good way to spend a night. Boarding is usually around 10-11 at night, and they arrive at their destination in the morning.)
