We traveled to Tokyo with our 2 young kids. The city is incredibly kid-friendly and we can't wait to return.

One of the greatest joys of my life has been traveling with my family, especially to other countries. Japan has an especially important place in my heart — I lived in Japan and taught English there for my first job out of college, and I still have wonderful friends in Tokyo. Japan has also given my family some of our happiest travel memories.
