Today we are very excited to have the first blog post from the owner of Oshareninp maternity fashion blog and online shop, Mariko Tanaka! Mariko is our new contributor to Tokyo Urban Baby and we will be cross-posting on each other’s blogs in the coming months. You can see my blog posts on Oshareninp here (about my maternity fashion while I was pregnant in Japan).
Mariko’s first blog post is about the new elevator at Omotesando Station (a fantastic find!) and the new Three Little Dots kids collection! Thanks Mariko!

Hi Everyone!
Today I am going to introduce 2 exciting new finds in Omotesando or mums with babies:
- New elevator in Omotesando station
- “Three Little Dots” – kids collection line of the premium cut brand “Three Dots” from LA which has finally launched in Japan!
Both the new elevator and Three Little Dots are located in OAK Omotesando (the elevator connects the station to OAK), which is a new landmark of Omotesando built on the site of the former “Hane Mori Buidling” and opened on the 4th of April.
Address: OAK Omotesando, 3-6-1 Kita-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo
Didn’t you feel stressed that there is only one elevator in Omotesando and it is located at Aoyama University side? Mothers with a baby stroller had to detour when they want to go in the direction of Jingumae.
Now we have another elevator to access to OAK Omotesando!
You can take the elevator from a Chiyoda line platform and then take another one to the ground level.
Please note that you need to see the sign carefully to find the 2nd elevator to go up as it is very dark and the entrance access is rather hard to find.
There are new shops such as Armani Café, Nespresso Boutique in OAK Omotesando but the one I recommend to visit is “Three Dots Aoyama.”
I love the cut and sewing of this brand and I have been wearing it for years. There is already one shop in Daikanyama and you can also find some items at some department stores and some select shops, but the kids collection “three little dots” is new to Japan.
The shop is facing the street but not facing Omotesando Avenue – it is located around the corner of “COACH.”
I went up to the 2nd floor to check the “little three dots” and found a navy cut and sewn dress with frilled sleeve for a little girl. It looked so comfortable and cute and now thinking to buy it for my daughter:) I highly recommend to check it out:)!

表参道駅に新しいエレベーター設置とスリーリトルドッツ日本初上陸
MORI HANAEビルの跡地に表参道の新しいランドマーク、オーク表参道が4月4日にオープン。
表参道駅ってこれまでエレベーターがひとつで、青山学院側にしかないので、神宮前方面に行きたいベビーカーのママはとても不便していませんでしたか？
この度、オーク表参道のオープンに伴ってやっとエレベーターができたんです！
千代田線ホームの原宿に近い方面のホームからエレベーターで上がって、さらにちょっと歩いて、エレベーターで地上に出ることができます。
ただし、地上に上がるエレベーターはエスカレーター手前の暗くてわかりにくいところにあるので、表示をよくみて上がって下さい。
さて、オーク表参道にはアルマーニカフェとかネスプレッソブティックとか新しいお店もオープンしていますが、わたしのオススメは1階にオープンしたＬＡ発のプレミアムカットソーの「スリードッツ青山店」
ここのカットソーはとっても着心地が良いので、大好きで昔から愛用しています。代官山にもショップがあったり、セレクトで百貨店やセレクトショップにも入っていましたが、キッズラインの「スリーリトルドッツ」が日本初上陸です！
店舗は1階で通りに面していますが、コーチを曲がったところで、表参道に面していないところにあります。
早速2階のキッズラインをチェック。写真は撮れなかったのですが、ネイビーで袖がフリルになったカットソーのワンピースが着心地良さそうで、とってもかわいかったので、 娘のために買おうか考え中です。 ぜひ、ママの皆様、キッズラインも含めてチェックしてみて下さい。
