We recently had the most amazing trip to Japan with our 10 month old baby. A lot of people told us we were brave or crazy to embark on such an adventure, but it went surprisingly well! Don’t get me wrong, travelling with a baby is definitely a lot more stressful and requires a lot more planning, but with a lot of prior organisation (and low expectations), we ended up having a wonderful family holiday.

I shared a lot of our trip via my Instagram stories and received many messages from both mums and non-mums alike begging for a blog post to share my itinerary, tips and tricks. In Part 1 I discuss how we got there, plane tips, and what to pack. In Part 2 I share our full itinerary including where we stayed, where we ate and what child-friendly activities we got up to.
