  • T i p ! It’s getting cold in Tokyo! Winter has arrived! ❄️ ⛄️❄️ It’s still lovely in the sun, so I recommend trying to play outside with your kids in the sun during 10am-3pm. But as soon as the sun goes behind the clouds it’s freezing!! So make sure you always have a winter jacket ready! My kids have been complaining about having cold hands in the early morning too, so it’s a good idea to have some gloves and don’t forget your footmuff (sleeping bag) for your stroller. Enjoy this winter weather and especially the illuminations for Christmas! . . . #tokyo #tokyowithkids #tokyourbanbaby #omotesando #familytravel #kidstravel #tokyojapan #tokyocity #japan

  • Hope you were all safe from the typhoon last night! Fingers crossed there will be no more typhoons this year >< The only good thing about the post-typhoon day is that the skies are clear enough to see Mt Fuji. I hope you could see it today! . . Take care everyone. It was hot today, but tomorrow the temperature will drop again to 20 degrees Celsius during the day. Influenza has already started, so make sure you keep your kids and yourself warm and protected against the fluctuating temperature. If you’re visiting Japan this month, I highly recommend bringing layers of clothing including a cardigan/sweater and a wind/rain jacket for your kids just in case. Take care! . . . #japan #tokyojapan #mtfuji #familytravel #travelwithkids #kidstravel #babytravel #tokyourbanbaby #beautifuljapan #passionpassport #pink #cherryblossoms #letthembelittle #japan #japantravel #japanawaits #japan_of_insta #japantrip #japanphotography

  • Want to enjoy Tokyo with your children with the least stress and the most fun? Let me show you how! ✨ Maybe you are planning to visit Tokyo soon for vacation, but are worried about traveling in such a big city with your baby. Or you’ve been to Tokyo before, so you kind of know what to expect, but in the back of your mind you are anxious as this will be the first time with an infant in tow. Or maybe you are moving to Tokyo soon and wondering how on earth you are going to navigate all the train stations and elevators, not to mention how to find the baby-friendly cafes, sightseeing spots and playgrounds. ✨ ✨ ALL YOU NEED IS A PLAN A clear, step-by-step plan for navigating Tokyo and locating the baby-friendly sightseeing spots, fashion shops, cafes, nursing rooms, and playgrounds. A plan that will keep your child happy, so you can enjoy this special time for YOU. ✨ I have been living in Japan for 15 years and I've been through it all - trying to find the baby-friendly cafes, not knowing where to change diapers, trying to carry my stroller down the stairs at the station. The list is endless! That's why I created Tokyo Urban Baby. To ensure you don't make the same mistakes that I have, so you can enjoy Japan with the least stress and the most fun.

  • Dahlia flower season in Tokyo! Love these flowers. Makes me excited for Autumn πŸπŸ’πŸIt will actually be hot over the next few days after the typhoon, but after that it will get cool again. The Autumn leaves are usually in peak season towards the end of October/early November. Not long now! 🍁 🍁 P.S. Did you know there is a Dahlia flower park in Kanagawa? It’s just next to Kodomo no Kuni! . . . #dahlia #flowers #autumnflowers #tokyo #japan
