Have you ever tried a UV umbrella? I’m officially a convert! I never used to carry one, but now I will never travel without it, especially this little gem. It’s lightweight, folds up teeny tiny, and fits perfectly in my backpack.
We grabbed ours at Don Quijote in Tokyo, but I’ve also have it linked in my bio if you’re not hopping across the globe anytime soon. #travelessentials #uvumbrella #tokyoshopping #sunprotectiononpoint #donquijote #wpcumbrella #japantravel #japansummer #japantraveltips @wpc_official

Travel days can be chaotic and time- consuming, which is exactly why we chose to split our 11-day trip between just two cities, Tokyo and Kyoto. And honestly? I’m so glad we did. Slower travel has been the best gift, and so far…we are absolutely loving Kyoto.

We only had a half-day at DisneySea, and this was the only ride I really wanted to make sure we rode.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Tangled and Rapunzel after my daughter, when she was little, dressed up as her for a day at Disneyland. Best Day Ever ❤️ #tangled #disneysea #tokyodisneysea #rapunzel #disneymom #bestdayever

You know your trip is busy when your Disney day is considered your “slower”paced day! #disneysea #disneyseatokyo #tokyotravel #familytravel #teamlabplanets #japantravels #japantraveltips #travelwithkids

Can you believe I was actually on the fence about visiting Tokyo Disney?
I’m a Disney gal, so of course, I caved at the last minute and snagged early evening tickets for DisneySea, and wow, what a decision.
My only regret? Not booking a full day. This park is stunning, totally unique, and way bigger than I expected. If you’re heading to DisneySea, trust me, go for the full day. It’s 100% worth it.
I’m already plotting my return so I can spend a couple of days soaking up all the Tokyo Disney magic. #TokyoDisneySea #DisneyMagic #JapanTravel #FamilyAdventures #DisneyTravel

Day 2 - Tokyo. Another whirlwind of a day and our feet were killing us by the end of it, but again, so worth it.

First full day in Tokyo and we packed it in! And yes... we had Denny’s for lunch and pizza for dinner. Don’t come for me, we do eat Japanese food eventually! But if you’ve ever traveled with kids, you know that a few comforts from home can make all the difference on a busy, jet-lagged day.

Did you know that it’s considered rude to walk and eat in Japan? I had heard about this before we left, but once we arrived, we noticed right away that people just don’t do it. Japanese culture emphasizes mindfulness and respect for food, which includes enjoying it in a designated area.
This announcement was heard in the very touristy area near Senso-ji Temple. I suppose it was for all the tourists that had not gotten the memo. 😉 #japan #japantravel #japantravels #japantraveltips #asakusa #tokyotravel

Tokyo was a whirlwind, but in the best possible way. Temples, neon lights, mini pigs, owls, shopping, and Pokémon were just a few of the many things we fit in to our itinerary. These pics are just from the first two days of our 11 day visit to Japan.

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
