Did you know that there’s a museum for instant noodles in Japan? It’s located in Yokohama, about a 1 hour train ride from Tokyo. This place has all the packaging of instant noodles dating back to the 50s, when chicken ramen was invented. It’s a really fun place for kids as they have a chicken ramen factory that teaches them how to make ramen from scratch. It also has a CUPNOODLES factory where you can design your own personalized CUPNOODLE and select your own soup base and toppings to include. We had a great time there, and learned some interesting facts. Can you guess which country consumes the most instant noodles by far? . . . . . . #tokyoartsandculture #traveltokyo #tokyotravel #exploretokyo #worldschoolers #worldschooling #familyholidays #jetsetfam #welovetotravel #travelfam #familytravel #familyfuntime #bringthekids #takethekids #familyvacations #adventurekids #schooloftravel #tokyojapan #familytraveltribe #travelfamily This is Bridgette, on the 350th floor of the Tokyo Skytree, currently the tallest tower in the world! We lucked out on a clear and gorgeous day where we got to see so much of Tokyo from high up.⠀ ⠀ I know it’s touristy, but I really love visiting observation towers when we are in a new place. I appreciate the chance to see the city from a more macro perspective, and it often is a moment of reminder that what seems big and magnified from below is actually quite small from He who watches us from above. 😊⠀ ⠀ Do you like observation towers or do they feel too touristy to you?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #traveltokyo #tokyotravel #exploretokyo #japan_vacations #urbanview #cityscene #tokyoskytree #Kidandcoe #Familytrips #familytravel #showthemtheworld #welovetotravel #travelfamily #jetsettingkids #worldschoolers #Kidswhoexplore #adventureseeker #getoutandexplore #bestcitybreaks #Adventureanywhere #citygirl #beautifulviews #explorejapan #traveljapan ⠀ What’s your favorite country to visit? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As a Worldschooler, Bridgette is always asked this question and she never hesitates to answer that her most favorite place in the world is Japan. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In fact, our family would respond the same, which is why Japan is the only country we keep going back to year after year. We love the culture, the food, the vending machines, the vibes, the onsen, the anime, the convenience stores, and the list goes on... 😁 Bridge has been learning Japanese and I honestly cannot wait until she’s somewhat fluent so she can translate for us when we’re there! . . . . . . #adventureswithchildren #mackidtravel #showthemtheworld #bestvacations #kidandcoe #radgirlstravel #schooloftravel #welltraveledkids #cityshots #theprettycities #streetscapes #cityscene #urbanview #urbanshutter #liveadventurously #tokyotrip #tokyostyle #exploretokyo #tokyostreet #traveltokyo ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you have a preference between French crêpes and Japanese crêpes? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A Japanese crêpe is like a French crêpe rolled up, allowing you to eat it almost like an ice cream cone. Since the Japanese LOVE their sweets, most Japanese crepes are eaten as desserts, with some type of fruit filling and LOTS of whip cream. There seriously is like a hundred different options at any crepe stand in Tokyo, and our personal favorites are the ones with fresh mango and chocolate sauce. 😍 . . . . . #crepes #dessertpic #dessertheaven #visittokyo #tokyotravel #visitjapan #tokyofoodie #tokyotrip #exploretokyo #tokyostreet #worldschoolers #tokyojapan #tokyostyle #harajuku #harajukustyle #streetscapes #bestcitybreaks #cityscene Do you prefer traveling to cityscapes or the great outdoors? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This week, we’ve traded in our snorkeling masks for walking shoes as we are now in Tokyo, Japan! As much as we love being in the nature, we like to balance out the mountains and water with some urban hustle and bustle. What’s awesome, though, is finding beautiful green rooftops, like this one, in the middle of all the skyscrapers. It’s like getting a little bit of both worlds, when you just can’t choose one or the other. 😊️ . . . . . #adventureswithchildren #showthemtheworld #ourtribetravels #welltraveledkids #schooloftravel #radgirlstravel #kidandcoe #cityscapes #citypicz #cityshots #bestcitypics #city_captures #bestcitybreaks #urbanshutter #igworldclub_cityscape #theprettycities #exploretokyo #traveltokyo #tokyojapan #worldschooling #weareworldschoolers We are headed to our next destination today! Any guesses on where that may be? Here are 3 clues: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. The subway system there feels like a labyrinth to us. 2. Vending machines are often a tourist attraction there. 3. You never have to tip at restaurants. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s also one of our very favorite countries if you know us. Safe, orderly, with amazing food! 😁 . . . . . #worldschooling #worldschool #weareworldschoolers #adventureswithchildren #getoutandexplore #freshairandfreedom #wearethewild #livelifeoutside #unschoolinglife #showthemtheworld #peoplewhoadventure #sanfranciscobayarea #labyrinth #liveadventurously #adventureseeker #chooseadventure #travelfamily #adventureinspired #simplyadventure #outdoorsy #exploretheoutdoors #familyonpurpose #takethekids
