  • T i p ! Did you know Arashiyama in Kyoto is baby- and child-friendly?! After some searching and investigating, I was pleasantly surprised to find some friendly cafes that welcomed me in with my kids and stroller in tow! Such a welcomed relief in between sightseeing! Also, if youโ€™re wondering where to change nappies if you have a baby, there are some all-access toilets with diaper change tables, so itโ€™s fantastic if you need an emergency nappy change in the middle of sightseeing! You may not realize, but one of these toilets was next to this exact spot in the photo above where we were walking along the river ๐Ÿ˜œ โœจ โœจ Iโ€™m posting all the details and videos about the child-friendly cafes and baby essentials for how to enjoy Arashiyama and Kyoto with a baby and young kids on my website in the members section! โœจ โœจ I just uploaded a new video this morning โ€œ3 Steps to enjoy the Bamboo Forest with kids in tow!โ€ Including my map for how to find the secret garden!โœจ If youโ€™re already a member of my website, make sure you login and check my latest posts ๐Ÿ’• And if youโ€™re not a member yet, click on the link in my bio to learn more!

  • T i p ! Excited for Spring! The cherry blossoms are just the beginning of this beautiful season in Japan. Did you know there are AMAZING wisteria trees here too?! I canโ€™t wait to see them! They will bloom around late April - early May. One of the most beautiful wisterias is at @ashikaga_flower_park north of Tokyo. Iโ€™ve never seen it before, so I canโ€™t wait to visit! Make sure you plan a visit there if youโ€™re here! Iโ€™ll be blogging about it very soon! ๐Ÿ’•๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’• Photo by @g.hiromiphotography ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’• . . . #tokyoguide #kyotoguide #babytravel #tokyo #kyoto #tokyotravel #tokyowithkids #tokyourbanbaby #lifeinjapan #japantips #guidebook #travelguide #japantour #familytravel #kidstravel #traveljapan #toddlertravel #travel #traveltips #travelblogger #lovejapan #kyototravel #kyotowithkids #visitjapan #visitjapanau #japan #japanawaits #japan_vacations #japanrevealed
  • I received this lovely message! **** I went to Japan with my 16 month old in November 2018 and prior to going I stressed about how to get around with a pram and what to feed my son while in Japan, not only that I found out I was pregnant too! Purchasing your guide before I went enabled me to study certain places and how to easily access them. Even though we went to many places and Tokyo being our last, I would say we enjoyed Asakusa and the Sensoji temple! The whole surrounding area was gorgeous and busy full of markets and the temple itself was grand. With help of your guide I was able to navigate our way to and from the train station and use elevators to get to the platforms etc. The guide was a lot of help! โœจ Thank you so much for your message! Iโ€™m so thrilled you had a wonderful time!!! ๐Ÿ’• โœจ โœจ #tokyo #tokyoguide #shibuya #shibuyacrossing #kyotoguide #kyototravel #kyotowithkids #babytravel #familytravel #kidstravel #tokyowithkids #passionpassport #toddler #toddlertravel #tokyotravel #discovertokyo #kyotostyle #kyotojapan #nippon #nipponpic #japanfocus #japan_photo_now #tokyojapan #igjapan #japantravelphoto #instajapan #japan #japan๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต

The cherry blossoms here are in full bloom! ๐ŸŒธ ๐ŸŒธ Many of the cherry blossoms in full bloom right now are located in the mountains north of Kyoto, so if you visit in the early morning make sure you bring your winter jackets as it can be quite chilly! ๐ŸŒธ Click on this link below to see the list ๐Ÿ’• ๐ŸŒธ https://www.tokyourbanbaby.com/2019/04/kyoto-guide-cherry-blossoms-in-full-bloom-12-april-2019/ ๐ŸŒธ LOVE this photo by @g.hiromiphotography thank you! ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’• ๐ŸŒธ #kyoto #cherryblossom #cherryblossoms #kyotojapan #visitkyoto #visitjapan #japantravelphoto #japantravelplanet #kyototravel #bestjapanpics #japanphoto #tokyocameraclub #japanawaits #passionpassport #kyotowithkids #tokyowithkids #familytravel #kidstravel #best_photo_japan #japan_of_insta #kyotoguide #visitjapanau #visitjapan #japan #beautifuldestinations
  • 2 T i p s ! If you are visiting Tokyo or Kyoto with your baby and kids, here are 2 big tips to enjoy with the least stress and the most fun: โœจ 1. Sightseeing - make a goal to see 1-2 sightseeing spots per day. Try not to do too much! Whether you have a baby, toddler or young children, they will all get tired and cranky if you do too much โ€œsightseeingโ€. For example, on our trip to Kyoto last week, there was sooooo much I wanted to see! Especially since it was peak cherry blossom season. But I knew it would be impossible. So I picked out the most important places I wanted to see (like Arashiyama bamboo forest and Kodaiji Temple) and aimed to see one or two places per day. โœจ 2. Early morning - Morning is the BEST time to see Tokyo and Kyoto with kids!!! I canโ€™t recommend it enough. Especially if you are visiting shrines and temples, you can beat the crowds and your kids will LOVE running around and exploring the temple grounds without you worrying that you will lose them in the crowds of people! In Kyoto my kids woke up at sunrise (5am) so we had some breaks snacks, and went outside exploring at 6-9am. Then we went back to the hotel to rest, eat brunch, watch TV. Then we went out for lunch, played at the park, had an afternoon nap, and then did another sightseeing spot in the afternoon. โœจ โœจ I am posting all about our trip online in my members section of Tokyo Urban Baby!

  • Love this photo!๐Ÿ’• ๐ŸŒธ ๐ŸŒธ Glenda our photographer asked my son to look at the cherry blossoms, and she just captured the sweetest image of him. When I saw the photo I nearly cried! I have this image of him as a strong energetic growing boy, but this photo showed his sweet kindness. Itโ€™s hard to describe. We actually had a wonderful time in Kyoto and both my kids were surprisingly little angels the whole time. All brothers and sisters bicker at some point, but somehow the atmosphere in Kyoto and the cherry blossoms made us all relax and just enjoy our time there! Thank you Glenda for these beautiful photos! ๐ŸŒธ ๐ŸŒธ Photo by @g.hiromiphotography ๐Ÿ’• . . #keageincline #kyoto #visitkyoto #visitjapan #tokyoguide #kyotoguide #japanguide #kidsfashion #cottononkids #girlsmusttravel #japan_insta #travelwithkids #mummybloggers #luxurytravel #familytravel #kidstravel #passionpassport #takemethere #discoverjapan #visitjapanau #tokyocameraclub #japan_photo_now #pink #japan #familytravel #kidstravel #kidsfashion #kyotojapan #cherryblossoms #springbreak

  • T i p ! Make sure you visit Keage Incline in Kyoto! Fantastic spot for cherry blossom viewing this week!! Youโ€™re kids will love exploring this old line - it was actually used to transport boats to the waterway in the late 1800s ๐Ÿ›ถโ›ต๏ธ ๐ŸŒธ ๐ŸŒธ Extra tip - many of the guides say you canโ€™t get a taxi here because itโ€™s too crowded, but if you go early itโ€™s no problem! I caught a taxi there with my kids at 7am and it was the best! Much better and stress-free than catching the train๐Ÿ’• ๐ŸŒธ ๐ŸŒธ Thank you @g.hiromiphotography !! ๐Ÿ’• . . #keageincline #kyoto #visitkyoto #visitjapan #tokyoguide #kyotoguide #japanguide #sheisnotlost #girlsmusttravel #japan_insta #mommyandme #mummybloggers #luxurytravel #familytravel #kidstravel #passionpassport #takemethere #discoverjapan #visitjapanau #tokyocameraclub #japan_photo_now #mummyanddaughter #japan #familytravel #kidstravel #kidsfashion #beautifuldestinations #cherryblossoms #springbreak
  • T i p ! Do you know this location in Kyoto? Not many people know this secret place! We are standing under an old 13 meter high waterway bridge made out of brick located right down the back of Nanzenji Temple. Make sure you visit if you are in Kyoto! Itโ€™s an amazing place and close to Keage Incline which is a fantastic spot for cherry blossom viewing this week!! ๐ŸŒธ ๐ŸŒธ A huge thank you to @g.hiromiphotography for this photo! We had such an amazing time!! ๐Ÿ’• . . #nanzenji #kyoto #visitkyoto #visitjapan #tokyoguide #kyotoguide #japanguide #sheisnotlost #girlsmusttravel #japan_insta #mommyandme #mummybloggers #luxurytravel #familytravel #kidstravel #passionpassport #takemethere #discoverjapan #visitjapanau #tokyocameraclub #japan_photo_now #mummyanddaughter #japan #familytravel #kidstravel #kidsfashion #beautifuldestinations #visualambassadors #travelanddestinations
  • Back in Tokyo! Can you see the dogs? Swipe for the video! So cute! ๐Ÿถ ๐ŸŒธ I was walking to see the cherry blossoms at Aoyama Cemetery and spotted these gorgeous dogs on the roof enjoying the sun. By the way, if you are in Tokyo and youโ€™re looking for a less crowded place to see the cherry blossoms, make sure you visit Aoyama Cemetery! I used to think it might be too scary for kids, but it actually is more like a park atmosphere. Even if you just walk along the road that is lined with cherry blossoms (that passes through the cemetery) itโ€™s lovely and feels like a normal road. Fantastic for a walk with your stroller and much less crowded than Naka Meguro! The petals are already starting to fall from the cherry blossoms, so donโ€™t miss it!๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ โœจ โœจ #welivetoexplore #tokyoguide #cutedogs #cute #ใ‹ใ‚ใ„ใ„ #dogs #tokyo #tokyotravel #visitjapanau #visittokyo #familytravel #citylife #citydogs #lifeintokyo #lifeinjapan #tokyolife #cityliving #rooftop #citylifestyle #tokyojapan #japan #letthembelittle #passionpassport
