We just returned from a 2-week trip to Japan and we are definitely missing all the amazing food. Here’s a summary of what we ate there. It's been split up into regional-specific and general eats. Hokkaido-Specific We began our trip in Hokkaido. Since it was our first time in this region of Japan, we wanted… Continue reading Japan 4.0: What We Ate on a 2-Week Trip to Japan
We recently visited Hokkaido, Japan. We’ve been to multiple areas of Japan further south (see previous posts), so we thought we would tackle this area with our extended family this trip. Here are the places we visit during our week-long stay in Hokkaido: Sapporo TV Tower As the main landmark of Sapporo, I would say… Continue reading Japan 4.0: What to Do in Hokkaido (With a Toddler)
Travel day! Come with us on our journey in Air Canada's Premium Economy cabin from Vancouver to Osaka, Japan! Seats We were no looking forward to an almost 11 hour flight with a busy toddler.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who misses travelling during this time. (For those who stumble upon this post in the future, we are currently in a global pandemic right now.) When I travel, my priority is not so much to visit all the tourist attractions but rather to explore the great food the… Continue reading Bokksu: Japanese Adventure in a Box

It was our last day in our villa and we really made the most out of our time here by staying till the last minute.

On this day, there were a few more… Continue reading Japan 3.0: Day 7 (Oguni – Mount Aso – Fukuoka)

It’s road trip time! We started the day early to pick up our rental car at Times Rental near Hakata Station. Unfortunately, we head to deal with Japan rush hour on the train again; however, this time was a little more manageable given Fukuoka is not as big of a city as Tokyo. We made… Continue reading Japan 3.0: Day 5 (Fukuoka – Oguni)
We started off the day late after having a late night last night, which was fine because the pancake place we wanted to go to was not open until 10am. We slowly made our way over to Happy Pancake, where they serve big fluffy pancakes. When we arrived, we were seated right away but by… Continue reading Japan 3.0: Day 4 (Fukuoka)
