Tom Brady is enjoying his time off from calling NFL games, as he recently took a memorable trip to Japan with his children Vivian and Benjamin.
Brady stepped into the booth for the first time last season as he served as Fox Sports’ lead game analyst, culminating with the network’s broadcast of Super Bowl LIX.
But the legendary quarterback, who is also a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, got away from the sport for a bit as he brought Vivian and Benjamin on what appeared to be an epic trip.
In an Instagram carousel post recapping the vacation, Brady can be seen holding a samurai sword, watching some sumo wrestling and posing with his kids in several different settings.
In one pH๏τo, Brady even showed off a cake with a Raiders logo on it presented to his family at a restaurant.
‘Japan we love you! We had SO MUCH FUN! Thank you for your hospitality and beauty!,’ he wrote on Instagram.

‘What an amazing culture of honor, respect, and discipline. From the history, to the traditions, every day we learned and laughed and loved – the food, the shops, the people, the animals and everything in between!

‘These trips shape us and remind us how much there is to learn when we step outside our routines and see the world together. Arigato gozaimasu!’
The seven-time Super Bowl winner’s trip to Japan was not the first stop he and his kids made abroad, as Brady previously took Vivian and Benjamin to PSG’s Champions League Final win in Munich.
The family also went to Amsterdam after, seeing numerous sights in the Dutch capital.
Brady shares Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12 with his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen.
He also has a 17-year-old son, Jack, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
Speaking at the Fortune Global Forum in New York City last fall, Brady admitted he’d ‘screwed up a lot as a parent.’
‘All of the parents of the room know that being a parent is probably the hardest job all of us have. And we screw up a lot,’ he said.
Brady made his broadcasting debut last year for Fox Sports, which included calling the Super Bowl
‘And I’ve screwed up a lot as a parent. I don’t wanna seem like I’m some sort of expert in parenting, because I’m certainly not that.’
He also acknowledged that it ‘sucks to be Tom Brady’s son’ as a boy, as he discussed how he supports his children’s endeavors.
‘The blessing my parents gave me,’ he said, ‘was when I was that longsH๏τ as a kid who was a backup quarterback on a freshman team, they never said, ‘Man, don’t do that. It’s going to be too hard. Let’s do something different. Let’s think about another backup plan.’
‘They kind of said, ‘You know what? Go for it,” he added. ‘And that’s probably my parenting style.’
