Japan, or the cherry blossom country as we all know it. Japan just holds a special place in our memory. Because this was our first “far away” trip together, of course, as always from start to finish planned solely by us.

Why did we choose Japan? Because it was a distant exotic for us, a completely different culture, and at the same time the direction seemed peaceful and safe. Did we like it there? Of course! I already know that if funds and health permit we will definitely want to take our children there to show them the wonderful country of Japan. We just want to wait a bit until the kids are older so that they can better remember such an amazing trip.

In the meantime, we recommend you all our posts about Japan below. We only ask for your understanding, as this was one of our first blog reports, still written in a “day by day” style. With this, you have a practically perfect plan for visiting Japan :)
