My experience in Japan

We spent an entire month in Japan with our family and experienced everything from the busy streets of Tokyo to the quiet temples of Kyoto. From tasting local foods to learning about unique traditions, every place we visited gave us something new to love.

I’ve put together a collection of posts to share our adventures and tips. From practical guides to city highlights and cultural experiences, you’ll find everything you need to plan your own trip to Japan.

  • Transportation Tip – The public transportation system in Japan is Exceptional (just a little daunting). Depending on your plans, you may not even want to rent a car. The regional buses and trains, as well as local public transportation, are easy to navigate, inexpensive, and will take you almost everywhere.
