✨If We Travel to Japan with Kids Again… These Are the 5 Things I’m Doing Immediately After We Land! 🇯🇵✈️✨
Okay fam, after surviving multiple Japan trips with little humans who have infinite energy but zero sense of direction, we’ve finally cracked the code 😂
Here are the exact things we now do the moment we step off that plane — and trust me, Mommy Belle is SPEAKING from experience!
1. Swap Their Outfits Into “Airport-Mode 2.0”
Because somehow… the outfits that were perfectly fine in Sydney are suddenly not Japan-proof 😅
We switch them into comfy layers + bright colours so we can spot them in a crowd faster than you can say “Sumimasen!”
2. Activate All Safety Tags + AirTags
Yes, we’ve been that family running around Narita looking like we’re in The Amazing Race. Never again 😭
Everything gets checked the moment we land — QR tags, trackers, straps… ALL OF IT.
Trivia: Did you know Japan’s major airports handle over 200,000 passengers a day? Losing sight of a kid takes literal seconds.
(Ask me how I know… actually don’t 😂)
3. Grab a Pocket WiFi Before Leaving the Airport
Because Google Translate becomes your bestie real fast, and the kids’ iPads become the only reason you survive the train ride to the hotel 😆
4. Hit the Nearest Konbini for Snacks
Konbinis are magical.
Affordable. Yummy. And if your kid hasn’t napped for 47 hours?
That strawberry milk and onigiri might just save your marriage! 😌
5. Do a Quick Family “Grounding Moment”
We literally stop, breathe, stretch, sip water, reset.
Sounds silly, but it stops us from spiralling into “we just landed and already stressed” mode.
It works. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
✨Mommy Belle’s Trivia Corner
Did you know Japan’s vending machines are so advanced that some can tell the temperature outside and automatically recommend you a hot or cold drink? 🔥🧊
Tell me that’s not the coolest thing ever!
