Welcome to our blog, following our family trips and holidays around the world. We live in Gloucestershire, UK but have also spent a year living in New Jersey, USA. We love using the school holidays to travel to new places and explore. Spending time with our two children, climbing mountains, splashing around in the sea on the coast or road tripping across Europe and the US. We hope you will enjoy our blogs designed to help us remember the great times we have had and hopefully provide you with helpful tips if you are following in our footsteps.
We took a boat trip from Hiroshima to Miyajima Island to see the deer and visit the orange gate of Itsukushima Jinga.
This was a travel day between Tokyo and Hiroshima. We used the bullet train which took only four hours to travel approximately 800km. We checked into our hotel for the next few days and wandered down to the Peace Memorial Park.
Our third and final day in Tokyo before heading south to Hiroshima. We visited Teamlab Planets, the Aquarium Art Museum and spent the evening retro gaming in Akihabara.
Our second day in Tokyo. We visited Shibuya Crossing, Meiji Jingu and had our first ever hotpot for lunch. We also visited our first Don Quijote which was a seven floor megastore! In the evening we had tickets for Shibuya Sky
We arrived in Tokyo first thing in the morning after a 14 hour flight and spent our fist day exploring the Imperial Palace grounds. After a quick power nap we the headed out for the evening to visit Sensō-ji.
