  • T i p ! Are you planning to visit Japan with your family? Maybe you've been to Japan before, but this will be the first time with a baby? I understand how daunting it can be to travel in Japan with different customs, language, and etiquette. Let alone with a baby in tow! 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 my Guide! 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! My guide includes the Tokyo Guide ebook PLUS bonus members section and interactive map including my latest Kyoto Guide, Japanese Baby Food Guide, Hotel Guide, Airbnb tips, how to dress your baby for the seasons in Japan, stations to avoid with a stroller, advice for catching the trains with a stroller, awesome hidden playgrounds parks and rooftop gardens, nursing rooms and locations to change diapers, baby-friendly cafes and restaurants, and much more!

  • I just received this lovely message from Liz from Australia about my Kyoto Guide! ✨ “Finding child friendly restaurants even in Sydney where I live can be stressful when you're on the go. So, having the peace of mind that I had a list of restaurant recommendations sprinkled all over Kyoto was incredible. I also loved how I had a list of playgrounds at the tip of my fingers! We visited so many of your recommendations. I absolutely LOVED the google map view you gave me. I used it literally everyday to find inspiration for our lunch spot, playground or activity for the day. Thank you!” ✨ Thank you so much Liz for your email! I’m so happy the Kyoto Guide helped you to enjoy with your toddler! 💕 . . For mums and dads, if you’ll be visiting Tokyo or Kyoto soon with your baby or young kids, make sure you get my Guide!

  • Tokyo 💕 . I highly recommend getting a hotel with a view when you visit Tokyo with kids. I can’t recommend it enough. Why? Because they get tired of sightseeing! They sometimes just want some quiet time to look out the window and play with their toys. We had such a lovely stay at @shibuya_excel_hotel_tokyu i highly recommend it! It was raining so we really enjoyed simply hanging out in the hotel and there was a connecting tunnel to Shibuya Station, so it was easy to do some shopping and quick sightseeing around Shibuya crossing and then go back to the hotel for a rest and play. Highly recommend it! . . #shibuyaexcelhoteltokyu #shibuya #shibuyacrossing #tokyo #tokyoguide #shibuyatokyo #japan #japanguide #cityview #tokyocity #tokyowithkids #kidstravel #familytravel #babytravel #visitjapanau #visitjapan #visitokyo #tokyotokyo #luxurytravel #luxuryhotel #hotel #tokyohotel #japantravel
  • We had the most amazing breakfast on the 25th floor restaurant at @shibuya_excel_hotel_tokyu ! Stunning views of Tokyo city and Shibuya crossing below. Make sure you visit if you’re in Shibuya! Super friendly staff and very welcoming to families with young kids. We had a great time! 😍 💕 . . #shibuyaexcelhoteltokyu #shibuya #shibuyacrossing #tokyo #tokyoguide #shibuyatokyo #japan #japanguide #cityview #tokyocity #tokyowithkids #kidstravel #familytravel #babytravel #visitjapanau #visitjapan #visitokyo #tokyotokyo #luxurytravel #luxuryhotel #hotel #tokyohotel #japantravel
  • T i p ! If you’re in Shibuya, make sure you have cake and coffee at the cafe on the 6th Floor of @shibuya_excel_hotel_tokyu ! It has the most amazing view of Shibuya crossing below and the cakes are delicious! Scroll right to see the divine mango and coconut cake I had (and the kids lovely bowl of icecream!). 💕 . . . #shibuyaexcelhoteltokyu #shibuya #shibuyacrossing #tokyo #tokyoguide #shibuyatokyo #japan #japanguide #cityview #tokyocity #tokyowithkids #kidstravel #familytravel #babytravel #visitjapanau #visitjapan #visitokyo #tokyotokyo
  • Interview with Japanese working mother I am delighted to share this interview with my mama friend Sayume! Sayume is a working mother with 2 young children aged 7 and 3 years. If you will return to work after your baby is born or you're already a working mama and need some advice, make sure read these tips! https://www.tokyourbanbaby.com/2019/07/interview-with-japanese-working-mother-sayume/ 💕 #interview #workingmama #workingmother #workingmum #japanesemama #japan_photo #japan_inside #japan #tokyojapan #tokyourbanbaby #tokyowithkids #働くまま #まま #ワーキングママ #japaneseculture #kids #beautifullife #life #mamalife #ママライフ
  • 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 baby is safely sitting in the stroller. ✨ ✨ Here we are in Shibuya at the new @shibuyastream_official Hotel - my daughter is 5 years old now but she still sits in the pram! It’s a relief for me so I don’t have to carry her when she gets tired from walking around Tokyo city. Highly recommend! . . . #japanwithkids #japanguide #japantravel #tokyowithkids #babytravel #tokyoguide #tokyotravel #familytravel #japanlifestyle #lifeinjapan #stroller #strollertravel #kidstravel #japan #traveltips #travel #joolz #joolzgeo #beautifullife #toddlertravel #mommylife #mommyblogger #japan🇯🇵
  • This rainy season in Tokyo has to be the longest on record?! I hope the rain stops soon! I’ve been battling a terrible virus and cold. Completely flattened me this past week. And my son still has coughing and runny nose. We’re all tired of being sick! Hope you are all well and if you’re in Tokyo this rainy season please take care! It’s hot and humid one minute, and cold and damp the next. Also the trains have already put on the air conditioners so the inside of the train is freezing sometimes! Make sure you don’t stand under the aircon that blasts out of the ceiling of the train and take a light scarf or cardigan to keep your shoulders and neck protected. Same for your baby and kids! Take care! Looking forward to summer and the end of this rain! ☔️☔️☔️ . . . #japanwithkids #japanguide #japantravel #tokyowithkids #babytravel #tokyoguide #tokyotravel #familytravel #japanlifestyle #lifeinjapan #stroller #strollertravel #kidstravel #japan #traveltips #travel #joolz #joolzgeo #tokyorain #toddlertravel #mommylife #takemethere #girlswhotravel #mommyblogger #japan🇯🇵
