"We're not in Kansas anymore Dorothy "!! The crazy sights, sounds and wacky ways of Tokyo sure did blow our minds 🤯🤪! From laser light shows, talking robots, conveyor belt sushi and funky makeover photobooths (👉 swipe for a giggle 🤭) we were definitely transported to another world, and yet all the culture and traditions that we love so much about this country remained. One thing we definitely recommend when travelling in Japan is to have accommodation close to a station as the way to get around is via the trains. Our base while exploring Tokyo was the @shibaparkhotel which was in a fab location for our daily adventures 👌. Have you been to Tokyo? What was the wackiest thing you've seen?

From temples to markets, laser light shows to cooking classes, we sure did it all while in Japan land. Before we travel anywhere we like to research our destination to make sure we get the most out of our time and this time we had the extra help with our itinerary from @gojourny! The process was so easy; we simply completed an online questionnaire about what we usually like to do and see while travelling and Sarah, our dedicated Japan specialist, arranged the rest! We let Sarah know our thoughts about the itinerary and she tweaked it for us until it suited us perfectly 👌. It was so good, she took care of our special meal bookings, airport transfers and even arranged a portable Wifi device for us 👊. While in Japan we could see at a glance our daily plans and it even told us how to get to our next attraction via google maps. When travelling with kids it’s these details that allow you to relax and enjoy each moment together, especially in a non English speaking country 😍👍.

FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD 🌈😍
Our adventures in Japan have definitely featured loads and loads of weird wacky colourful foods!! From rainbow fairy floss & cheese toasties, to grilled sparrow & quail on a stick, giant king crabs and even tiny cooked octopus with quail eggs inside their heads!!! Yep, it's a 2 for 1 special 🐙🐣💁🏼‍♀️. Would you eat one? Our little Z-man Ziggy was so keen to try it all. Any chance he got he would taste a sample from the stall holders in the markets, we had a busy job keeping track of his his daily menu!! 🤭👍 Swipe to see more 👉👉
This is why we LOVE to travel, to experience new cultures and expand our understanding of this beautiful world we live in 👌.

We are all home safe. Thanks so much for all your messages checking in with us beautiful Insta family 🙏😘. We managed to catch a 10pm flight out of Tokyo before all flights were cancelled. It was a bumpy flight but we are so thankful to be back in Aus. All our love and thoughts are with everyone in Japan with the devastation from Typhoon Hagibis 😥. It's such an amazing country with the most gorgeous people and we loved every moment of our time here. We have loads more to share with you from our adventure and a blog to come too, stay tuned👍😘 ...and Japan, we will be back 🇯🇵😍.

Soaking up the culture, one 'Tori Gate' at a time ⛩⛩😍😍. This is our favorite place in Japan so far 👉 swipe to see more. We took our time to walk up the mountain through these beautiful gates which have all been donated and feature an inscription on the back. Dedicated to a Rice God, Fushimi Inari-taisha dates back to 711 A.D 😯 which just blows our minds!! When you make it further up the hill away from all the crowds the magic really begins with incense, offerings and mini tori gates, you can't help but relax and be taken away by the tranquility 🤗. Our Mini Blondies loved exploring through all the mini shrines and kept an eye out for cheeky monkeys and wild boars that live in these hills. Kyoto is a beautiful part of Japan and a place we will definitely return to ~ we have been based at @mimaruhotels which has been awesome for us, especially its big bath which the kids love at the end of a big day exploring 🛀👌🤗. #mimaruhotels

Getting our 'Kimono' on, in Kyoto baby 🙌👘. Experiencing a day in these traditional Japanese threads was a fun and steamy experience. With under layers, top layers and a rib crushing obi sash 🎀 we definitely felt the part, but not before slipping on a pair of slippery toe socks and a pair of 'plank of wood' flip flop thongie things 🤭👌... We Clipperty-Clopped ourselves along the old streets and imagined what it would be like to wear this every day. We even immersed ourselves further into the culture by taking part in a traditional Macha tea ceremony 🍵. It was all loads of fun but oh so hot under all that material and we were happy to get changed back into our Blondie clothes before we climbed the hill to visit KIyomizu-dera temple ⛩🙏. We are sharing loads more of our adventures in our Insta stories if you want to see more 🤳😉🤗.

JAPAN, amazing by day and incredible by night ⛩😍. We are having an awesome time discovering all we can about this gorgeous country. From temples, shrines, food and the friendly locals ~ It's a fantastic destination for families. We've had some huge days exploring and fabulous foodie experiences all capped off each day by a few mysterious drinks with labels we can't read 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♂️ see our stories for more about that!! 😍😳🙌. We've been using trains, cabs and our feet to get around and our @mimaruhotels has been the perfect base for our daily adventures 😁👍.

"Expecto Patronum" 🥢⚡
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is THE BEST! No photos could capture all the fun we had exploring this magical world at @universal_studios_japan, so we mashed up this quick clip instead 👌! Sometimes you just gotta let your inner kid shine through, and boy did we get into it, even us big kids! It's definitely an experience we will not forget! 😍🙌
