We went to Japan and it was amazing.
If you’ve ever been considering it, it’s a must!
The culture is kind and safe and respectful and clean and just so so so wonderful!
I saved all my IG stories into highlights in case you want the play by play of Tokyo to Hamamatsu to Kyoto to Osaka.
We saw tons of beautiful temples and torii.
Tried new pastries (with some favorites getting a repeat) every morning.
Got exercise walking 10-15 miles a day (and biking!).
Enjoyed tons of family time.
Saw alllll the cherry blossoms.
Sampled hundreds of konbini.
Loved eating right off the grills.
And basically just enjoyed every second of seeing another culture.
1 – so glad to see you sharing again, here and on Instagram. I’ve loved your recipes and my kids are of a similar age, and it’s definitely inspiring to see that I don’t have to live on dedicated “kid recipes”.
2 – my oldest son has been asking about visiting Japan, I’d never considered going with our kids before and it seems like there’s a lot to do with kids in the under-12 crowd.
definitely so much to do. my kids LOVED japan. 🙂
