According to The US Sun, the family trip to Tokyo took place as Stephanopoulos and Wentworth were getting accustomed to being empty-nesters back home, while their daughters were off to college.
While visiting the TeamLabs museum in Japan, the family was joined by comedian Jerry Seinfeld, 69, his wife Jessica, 52, and their kids, with Wentworth uploading a picture of them together enjoying the exhibits.

Sharing highlights from the family trip, Wentworth uploaded a series of photographs on the social media platform.
The first picture in the carousel showed the group sitting on a mirrored floor and admiring a ceiling filled with flowers. The second showed Stephanopoulos and Wentworth standing in front of an exhibit, while the following had their daughter Elliot joining them at a separate location.
The next image shared by Wentworth was the close-up of a hedgehog nestled in someone's hand, while the final one of the post was a group shot of everyone eating sushi at a restaurant.
The post was captioned "Lost in translation…." which was a reference to the 2003 Golden Globe-winning film shot entirely in Japan.

According to The Sun, the photograph was taken in the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, also known as the Sagano Bamboo Forest.
The picturesque locale attracts many visitors and is one of Japan's most popular tourist destinations.
