Since none of the photo links work anymore due to Photobucket policy changes , I've copied the trip report to a blog here:
travelswith2kids.wordpress.com
My family (me, DH, DS age 7, DD age 4) went to Japan for 12 great days at the end of May/beginning of June. This will be my longest trip report yet, so I hope I finish it! I hope to share with you all traveling to Japan with little kids, costs, and food. I LOVE Japanese food, so there will be lots of food pictures. Except when both DH and I got too hungry or too tired…. DH usually remembered, I forgot a lot because I just want to dig in!
A little background – DH and I went to Japan 8 years ago before we had kids. We went to Tokyo, Hakone, Hiroshima (very briefly), Miyajima (love), and Kyoto. This time we decided to do a more kid-centric trip. This was the itinerary:
