Aw! I just went to Tokyo and Osaka for the first time in November! What a trip! I know it gets a lot of hype for being touristy, but TeamLabs is so much fun and worth it for the whole family. We also got a kick out of the Art Aquarium Museum in Ginza. It's a quirky goldfish museum in a shopping mall but it was so cool and would be a great experience for kids. I'm an adult and I loved it. If you're taking the Shinkansen train to Kyoto/Osaka and you have oversized or large luggage, it's worth it to splurge on the car upgrade to "first class" so they can store your luggage. Otherwise, I am not sure what we would have done. One of the craziest things we discovered is there are NO public trash cans! So, if you pick up drinks or snacks along your walks, it's not easy to dispose of them when you are done. So, bring a larger crossbody bag so you can stow your trash/cups until you get back to your hotel or visit a restaurant.
My bestie just celebrated her 40th birthday with a trip to Japan! Looked absolutely amazing and so excited for you and the fam! Looking forward to the content :)
Have the best time in Japan, Alice! Can't wait to see photos!

These are all such awesome ideas -- and that's an incredible tip about the public trash bins, I would have had no idea! Thank you!!
