When are you visiting Japan again and where will you go?

📌SHARE this post and save for locations for popular, but worthy places to visit in Japan!

Does it seem like you’re always hearing of someone that has visited or is planning to visit Japan soon? A record 42.7 million tourists visited Japan in 2025 and I don’t see that number declining.
I’ll be part of that statistic when we ski in Niseko again in a few months.

I just gave my extended family a few suggestions for their first trip to Tokyo last week. One of the reasons I create these itineraries and lists is definitely for friends and family to reference.
There is still a lot I want to explore in Japan but here are a few places that are viral, but worth it for your next #japantrip.

1️⃣ teamLab Planets, Tokyo
This design collective truly makes some of the most beautiful and interactive installations. I loved the totally sensory experience including the Crystal Universe and the Garden at teamLab Planets.

2️⃣Kinkaku-ji, Kyoto
The Golden Pavilion was first built in 1397, but rebuilt and renovated with its famous gold leaf in 1984. It does get busy, but is absolutely stunning. We went early before doors opened which was a little less crowded. I found it fun walking away from the main temple and buying snacks on the grounds.

3️⃣ Tokyo DisneySea, Tokyo
I am not an experienced Disney Parks guest, but still enjoy my visits. The Tokyo DisneySea park feels more open and is the only DisneySea in the world (built around the concept of visiting different harbors). There are fewer shows and little touches like the gondola rides are fun. Also the pepper popcorn is crazy addictive.

Are you looking for a break from the urban #lifeinsingapore ?
Well, you can definitely consider a hike in and around MacRitchie Reservoir, Singapore’s oldest and largest water supply completed in 1867. I went on the loop up and around the beautiful 250 meter suspension bridge last year and feel like I should visit again.

Yes it’s hot, but sometimes there’s nothing quite as liberating as being out in nature like this.

📍Central Catchment Nature Reserve, 601 Island Club Rd (Located close to Singapore Island Country Club, Venus Dr

📌SHARE this post and save for details on one of the coolest spots for Indian food in Singapore!

Firangi Superstar is one of the loveliest and moodiest restaurants I’ve visited in Singapore. The decor can be funky and beautiful and I didn’t expect it all when I first entered. You first come hrough the Old Railway Room which is styled like a vintage officer’s club meets railway carriage. Step further in and you’re in the Jungle Lounge, with stunning wallpaper and jewel tones evoking an Indian palace.

We went for Saturday brunch and it was the perfect place for Modern Indian food and champagne. I also just read that “firangi” refers to foreigners. The owners reclaimed that terms since increasingly we live and work in so many places. Are global citizens then firing superstars?

⭐️ Dishes I loved
The Out of the Box Starter Kit is a knockout set of appetizers. I loved the crunchy puri with caviar to the spiced pepper fry with crab. Fish & chips has a great kick. I with the carrot cake had more cream cheese but it was still moist and tasty.

Thanks for inviting me to hang out here @yuniqueyuni and until next time!

I don’t really remember much about summer breaks growing up. But I wasn’t traveling a lot because my parents were always busy. I would usually hang out in our yard and sometimes even climb the roof to a shed we had back there (I don’t think my parents ever realized this!)
I also spent a few summers with my aunt’s family who did bring us to a few places like the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. My aunt was the original coupon queen and planted the seed of how to maximize savings.

But my kids lead such different lives and we travel to at least two countries every long break. I’m also so much better at redeeming #awardtravel which has opened up the world to us.

#familytravelers tip: Koh Samui has amazing values for 5 star hotels. You can use points or pay cash for a deluxe room (possibly getting upgraded to a suite if you have status). I highly recommend it for a slightly less busy beach location in Thailand. My eldest has requested returning so we will try to go again!

📍Hyatt Regency Koh Samui, Thailand

📌What would you want to discover in your #taiwanttrip ?

I’ve been visiting Taiwan all my life. But I didn’t explore much beyond Taipei, Hsinchu, and the same few restaurants (uneventful family visit, ifkyk).

But now that I’ve started bringing my own kids to Taiwan, I’ve seen more of it than I’ve seen before!
I’ve ventured to the hot springs in Beitou to the scallion or spring onion farms in Yilan. I learned how to make 紅龜粿 or anh ku kueh rice flour cakes too.

Somehow it all connects to food!

⭐️Food is art. Where else can you find the 翠玉白菜or jadeite cabbage carved from a single piece of jade?
⭐️Food is culture. I learned so much more about the Japanese and Chinese influences and integrations into Taiwanese food today.
⭐️Food is a place. Regional tastes vary. I loved the fruit in Tainan and scallion pancakes in Yilan.

We visit every year and I’m happy to uncover more foods later this year when I’m #FindingTaiwan2026

I was pleasantly surprised at our small roadtrip through Connecticut. So I wanted to highlight the calm, beautiful and clean beaches. It was earlier in the season but I really loved how this beach was so serene. You can walk pretty far out during low tide and see a variety of seashells too.
I love finding quiet places like this where the kids can really enjoy themselves and highly recommend it if you’re visiting the East coast of the US (it was only about 2 hours from NYC).

📌How much would you use an in-room pool?

The in-villa pools at the #waldorfastoriamaldives are an impressive 12 meters by 4 meters (approximately 39 by 13 feet). My kids absolutely adored it during lazy afternoons. I’m really debating booking another trip to the #maldivesislands again so am looking at these pools.

I was fortunate to use points there and certificates when we stayed there previously and this is definitely the best private pool I’ve ever booked. I will keep reminding you that this is one of the best #awardtravel booking you will ever make. Save those Hilton points (also I will post about a great promotion too!) So here’s to hoping we can find availability for a few nights for #luxuryfamilytravel next year!

📍 Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi Maldives
💰starting at $3,000/night for the reef villa, bookable with 250k #hiltonhonors points /night or a free night certificate for standard awards

We had a hectic, but really lovely summer break across three continents! It was a fun time from clam pizza in Connecticut and New York to sailing on the Danube in Budapest to relaxing with some mango sticky rice in Bangkok.

Here are the different ways that we saved:
✈️ TPE-NYC - $3,000 USD/75k Alaska Airlines miles for 2 pax/economy(after 25k mileage discount)

📍 New York, NY
Waldorf Astoria New York - $1,150 USD/free night certificate (credit card benefit)

✈️ New York - Budapest flight
$3,000 / 125k for 5 pax/econoomy Alaska Airlines miles

📍 Budapest, Hungary
Parisi Udvar - 3,051 EUR/3,561 USD/80k Hyatt points

We spent ~$2,000 in hotels for a few nights for the 5 of us. I purposely used cash rates when it didn’t make sense to use points.
