Sorry, not sorry! There was just so much to see, and so little time. And I wasn’t exaggerating, we were anywhere between 20k -30k steps a day, every day while we were there. We saw and did so much, and I still feel that we just scratched the surface of what this beautiful country has to offer. I have our full 11 day Japan itinerary up on the blog now if you want to check it out.

This customized rickshaw tour from @GetYourGuide is seriously the best way to see the bamboo forest in Arashiyama. We had such a great time and our guides were wonderful. I highly recommend it if you will be in Kyoto. I have a link to this tour and other great tours from GetYourGuide in my bio. @getyourguidecommunity #getyourguide #getyourguidecommunity #bambooforest #kyoto #japantraveltips #bambooforestkyoto #arashiyama #arashiyamabambooforest

To be honest, the timing wasn’t ideal for this trip. But thanks to some very persuasive travel propaganda - I booked it anyway. No regrets.
Every time we travel together, we make memories that are 1000% worth it. Whether we’re halfway around the world or close to home, it’s the time together that matters most. Life at home is busy, and honestly, this sometimes feels like the only time we all truly reconnect. Every trip brings us a little closer. #familytravel #travelwithkids #momlifeisthebestlife💕 #momlife #japantravels #wanderlust

Traveling is my happy place - and Japan has completely stolen my heart. We spent five nights each in Tokyo and Kyoto, and every moment has exceeded my expectations. From the buzzing city lights to the peaceful temples, this trip has been nothing short of extraordinary. I am already wishing we had more time to explore more of this beautiful country. #japanadventures #familytravel #wanderlust #tokyotokyoto #traveljapan #japan #japanitinerary

Learn from my mistake and don’t get bit in the butt! Don’t purchase the crackers at the entrance of the park. The deer at the entrance are much more aggressive and really want those crackers. There are other vendors inside the park, and as you go further into the park, the deer are a little more sparse and gentle.
Don’t worry though. Their nips don’t hurt. They just freak you out a bit. 😂 #nara #naradeerpark #naradeer #japan #japantravel #oops #learnfrommymistakes #traveladvice #traveljapan

Wouldn’t it be great if we could get places this fast?!
So far, Japan has been a dream - and it’s only been one day!! Looking forward to all our adventures ahead. #japan #japantravels #sensojitemple #wanderlust #familytravel

I think I have too much… What do you think?. The whole family’s packing about the same -5 tops, 5 bottoms, and 2 pairs of shoes each. Though let’s be real… my daughter packed the lightest because she’s planning to buy all her clothes in Tokyo. 😂
Can’t wait to see what actually worked (and what I didn’t need). I’ve got all my travel essentials linked on my LTK and in stories. Link in bio! ✈️🧳

I freaking love skin care that makes my skin glow! I’ve been using @herbalfacefood for a few years now, and it’s really helped with anti-aging and evening out my skin tone - I also love that it’s also 100% natural!
I just recently tried the soap for the first time, and I’m so impressed with it. I honestly never even thought about soap before, I usually just washed my face with whatever. But now that I’ve used it I don’t think I can go back. It’s packed with all the same goodness and botanicals as the serums and creams. If you want to try it out, use my promo code “stayingblonde” to receive 30% off your purchase. Link in bio. #skincare #matureskin #matureskincare #herbalfacefood #soap

Here’s to another fantastic 4th of July week back in Indiana with family, friends, food, fireworks and fireflies! I love my 4ths back home in Indiana. Nothing beats a Midwest Fourth of July. #midwestsummer #4thofjuly
