We are heading back! Versu and I have been planning this trip for the past few months, and we were so excited to celebrate it as a birthday trip for me. It came at a good time, with ticket prices  affordable and just before our busy season at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately I didn&#8217;t write anything in my notes regarding Day 0, but perhaps because nothing really happened&#8230; which is always a good thing, right? To be honest, nothing &#8220;bad&#8221; or unfortunate happened during our two-week trip at all (aside from our first hotel going through renovations, which really was so minor). We felt so lucky and grateful that the weather was beautiful, our multi-city itinerary experienced no issues, and so many times we marveled at how serendipitously everything panned out. It was a truly beautiful time spent together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-525ff337 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scarecrowkid.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_8389-1024x768.jpg ,https:\/\/www.scarecrowkid.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_8389.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.scarecrowkid.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_8389.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scarecrowkid.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_8389-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"uag-image-1598\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" title=\"IMG_8389\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually I take photos of the clouds during a flight, but this is the only photo I have for some reason&#8230; I 100% blame being half-asleep for this blurry and unappetizing shot of our airplane meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We landed safely at Haneda Airport in the evening, local time. Got through the security checkpoints with no issue, picked up our luggage, and made our way to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuronekoyamato.co.jp\/en\/\">Yamato Transport<\/a> to schedule our luggage delivery to our Kyoto accommodations. While waiting in line, there was a kid running in and out of the elevator pressing all of the buttons and laughing.

We were escorted to a small room that functioned as their temporary lobby, filled by what we assumed to be a large group of skiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After checking in, we pretty much just slept the whole rest of the evening away lol!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The next morning was a sleepy and slow-paced walk around Tokyo Station.

The food did not disappoint, though!
