The Places That Shaped LuNi Travels
Before building Japan’s most family-focused travel guides, journals, and insights, our family called a few incredible places home. Each one taught us something about curiosity, connection, and exploring through a child’s eyes… lessons that shaped what LuNi Travels is today.
- Kyushu, Japan (2023-Present): Our newest home! It’s all about nature, exploring, and finding hidden treasures.
- Tokyo, Japan (2021-2023): Two years of busy streets, awesome museums, and endless fun.
- Naples, Italy (2020-2021): A year of sunshine, pizza that Papa says is “the real deal,” and views of the sea.
- Brussels, Belgium (2017-2020): Three years of discovering parks, tasting the best waffles, and where Nico joined the team!
- Yokohama, Japan (2017): Where Luca took his very first steps and where our family adventure began!
Each home added a new layer to how we travel, learn, and share. Today, those experiences guide every itinerary, attraction guide, and journal we create to help families discover Japan with curiosity and heart.
Get to Know the Family
We’re a multicultural crew blending American, Japanese, and global influences, led by two curious brothers, Luca & Nico, who bring energy and imagination to every journey. With Mama’s love for new recipes, Papa’s passion for travel, and the boys’ talent for turning every trip into a playful mission, we’ve made it our goal to travel with purpose and wonder.
Our guides and stories are filled with joy, connection, and the belief that the world is best explored together.

“I was terrified of navigating the Shinkansen with a stroller and two toddlers. Your step-by-step guide saved us. We knew exactly where to book seats and how to forward luggage. Zero stress.“
— Sarah M. (Mom of 2)

“Finally, a blog that gets it! We skipped the ‘must-dos’ that didn’t fit our kids’ energy and followed your ‘slow travel’ advice instead. We actually came home rested. Thank you!”
— David & Jen
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“We almost booked a tiny business hotel until I found your list. The Mimaru recommendation was a game-changer. Bunk beds for the kids and space to breathe, it made the whole trip enjoyable.“
— The Harrison Family
