Japan Trip Planning Toolkit

Everything I wish I had before our first Japan trip with a baby and a toddler — in one place.

After two trips to Japan with little kids, I kept getting the same three questions: How do you handle jetlag? How do you plan the itinerary? What will my kids actually eat? So I built the toolkit that answers all three — with real strategies, customizable templates, and zero guesswork.

This is not a list of tourist tips. This is the exact system I used to survive (and genuinely love) two trips to Japan with babies and toddlers in tow.

WHAT'S INSIDE:

🌙 Jetlag Survival Guide — start 5 days before you even leave. Includes hour-by-hour schedules for your first 3 days in Japan and a full guide to surviving the 3am wake-up calls (because they will happen, and now you'll know exactly what to do)

🗓️ 4 Customizable Itinerary Templates — 7, 10, 14, and 21-day options covering Tokyo, Kyoto, Hakone, Nara, the Nakasendo Way, and Hokkaido. Each one includes nap windows, travel times, meal breaks, and "skip this if the kids are tired" flexible options. Comes as an editable Google Sheet so you can make it yours

🍱 Kid-Friendly Japan Food Guide — every food that actually works for picky eaters, where to find familiar foods when you need a break, and how to navigate allergies, breastfeeding, and formula on the road

📋 Pre-Trip Checklists — 3 months out, 1 month out, 1 week out, and the day before. Nothing gets forgotten

💴 Budget Tracker — plan your actual spend across flights, hotels, transport, food, gear, and activities before you go

This is the exact system I used to plan our two Japan trips with a baby and toddler—and the same system I've helped hundreds of families use to plan their dream Japan adventures.

Stop stressing about the details and start planning your trip with confidence!
