Tokyo Urban Baby
  • 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 🍁💐🍁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
  • Halloween is coming! It’s a really fun event in Tokyo for kids, with Trick or Treat events in the department stores and Pumpkin Parades around the city. Halloween at Disneyland is also incredible! We found these gorgeous Frida headbands at Flying Tiger in Shibuya. The costumes and decorations have just come out, so it’s a great time to get them before they sell out! I also recommend Loft, Tokyu Hands and the 100yen shops! lots of fun! 👻 . . . #halloween #tokyo #fridakahlo #flowers #tokyoguide #japanguide #tokyohalloween #familytravel #kidstravel #momblog #mummyblogger #tokyojapan #japan
  • T i p ! Do you know where this is? ✨ ✨ It is Fushimi Inari Shrine! It’s absolutely beautiful and a must visit if you’re in Kyoto💕 ✨ ✨ The question that many mums and dads ask though is how to enjoy this amazing site with a baby, toddler or young children?? ✨ ✨ This is actually one of the most challenging places to navigate with a baby or kids in tow! Trust me - I’ve been through it all! These sites in Kyoto are extremely popular, so you are not only struggling to get through the crowds, but you also need to find nappy-change tables, baby food, hidden local playgrounds in the backstreets (always a necessity for your kids when they have a meltdown or simply want to “play”! Trust me it will happen every day!😜), child-friendly restaurants and cafes and somewhere that welcomes kids and where mum and dad can have a break without worrying about anything! ✨ ✨ If you want to enjoy your special time in Kyoto with your family, with the least stress and the most fun, make sure you get my guide! Now included as a bonus in my Tokyo Guide Full Travel Package!💕 ✨ ✨ Click on the link in my bio to learn more 💕 www.tokyourbanbaby.com . . . #kyoto #kyotoguide #kyototravel #kyotowithkids #kyotojapan #kyoto⛩ #kyoto🇯🇵 #babytravel #familytravel #traveltips #travelblogger #travelwithkids #travelinsider #visitjapan #visitjapanau #japan #tokyoolympics #olympics2020 #japanguide #japantravel #japaninstagram #japaninsider #travelgram #visitjapan #visitjapanau #mytinyatlas #globetrotter #takemethere #japan🇯🇵
  • T i p ! Lots of fun at Kids Country “Kodomo no Kuni”! Located about 40min from Shibuya, it’s a great place for your kids to play in the wide open spaces (especially if your kids need a break from the city)! Click on the link below for the details on my blog!! ✨ ✨ https://www.tokyourbanbaby.com/2016/06/kodomono-kuni-huge-kids-park-in-kanagawa/ ✨ ✨ #こどものくに #tokyotravel #tokyowithkids #babytravel #tokyo #familytravel #tokyoguide #japanguide #visitjapanau #visitjapan #visittokyo #tokyojapan #mommyblogger #mummyblogger #beautifuljapan #toddlertravel #passionpassport #travel #traveltips #kidstravel #travelwithkids #takemethere #tokyobaby #havebabywilltravel #japan_vacations #japan_focus #japanawaits #japan
  • T i p ! If you are wondering whether to bring your stroller to Japan, I highly recommend to bring it with you even if your child can technically walk by themselves✨ ✨ Why? Because there is SO much walking involved, in both Tokyo and Kyoto and anywhere in Japan, that your kids will likely get tired😋. ✨ ✨ It is a huge benefit if your child can sit in the stroller and rest, and it can also help on a safety level as if you are going to crowded areas such as airports, train stations and shrines/temples, you can enjoy much more knowing your child is safely sitting in the stroller. ✨ ✨ Here we are at Mt Fuji - can you see in the left hand corner? So amazing! I was soooo glad I took my stroller on our trip to Kawaguchiko, because we ended up doing ALOT of walking around the base near Fujiyoshida and around Lake Kawaguchiko. It was so beautiful! Every corner we turned we saw the huge Mt Fuji. So picturesque. Make sure you go there this winter! Winter is the best time to see Mt Fuji because of the clean crisp air. For all my tips, tutorials, and maps to ensure you enjoy Japan with your baby and kids, make sure you get my guides!
