Tokyo Urban Baby
  • T i p ! There are hundreds of amazing parks in Tokyo, but many are often hidden behind big buildings or in the back streets of the city. You’ll be walking through Tokyo with your kids and wondering “where are all the parks and playgrounds?!”✨ ✨ So I’ve put together all the best parks in the Top 10 Baby-Friendly Locations in my Tokyo Guide! This includes parks that you’d never know about but are popular with local Japanese families, indoor and outdoor playgrounds, as well as secret rooftop gardens! ✨ ✨ If you want to enjoy Tokyo with your baby and young children with the least stress and the most fun, make sure you get my Tokyo Guide!

  • Q u i z ! Do you know which hotel has this amazing view of Tokyo Tower? See the link below for the answer! I stayed here with my kids and we had the most wonderful time! The hotel is so close to Tokyo Tower, that even in rainy weather like this week 😜 you can still see the tower and the temple below. If you want a view that you can guarantee you’ll be able to enjoy in rain, hail or shine, make sure you stay here! All the details in my video below! ✨ ✨ https://www.tokyourbanbaby.com/2018/10/prince-park-tower-child-friendly-hotel-with-amazing-view-of-tokyo-tower/ ✨ ✨ . #tokyotower #tokyocity #tokyo #tokyoguide #tokyotravel #tokyowithkids #babytravel #familytravel #travelwithkids #visittokyo #japan #japanguide #tokyoolympic #tokyocity #citylife #tokyourbanbaby #visitjapan #visitjapanau #mommylife #citylife #luxurytravel #travel #luxuryhotel #tokyohotel #beautifullife #japanese #japan🇯🇵
  • Tokyo Disneyland! We went to Disneyland for my daughter’s birthday. It was wonderful as always! My mother was visiting and we went on the “Space Mountain” for the first time (my daughter is now over 110cm tall so she could go on!). It was absolutely terrifying. I don’t know how my mother and I survived! I screamed the whole time. My mother couldn’t walk afterwards. But my kids thought it was fantastic! 🤣hahaha ✨ ✨ If you’ll be visiting Tokyo Disneyland or Disney Sea with your baby or toddler or young kids, make sure you check my blog posts for my tips!

  • T i p !! Make sure you visit Tokyo Tower up close! It’s a beautiful tower and it’s just been renovated recently on the inside. It’s also baby and kid friendly! Check my blog post below when I went with my baby 💕🌸🌿🌸 🌿🌸 https://www.tokyourbanbaby.com/2012/08/enjoy-tokyo-tower-with-your-baby/ . . #tokyotower #tokyo #tokyoguide #japanguide #kyotoguide #traveltips #toddlertravel #familytravel #travelwithkids #tokyoolympics #japantravel #visitjapan #visitjapanau #visittokyo #takemethere #beautifullife #globetrotter #livemoremagic #thehappynow #letthembelittle #sheisnotlost #mommyandme #mummyblogger #mompreneur #slowmotherhood #passionpassport #japan🇯🇵
  • Love @diptyque 💕 Make sure you visit this gorgeous boutique if you are roaming the backstreets of Aoyama! ✨ ✨ Thank you to all your well wishes from my stories yesterday. My son is getting better (he got influenza, which is unusual for June but it’s been going round the schools again in Tokyo it seems). We have been at home since Wednesday resting and trying to get better. Hopefully we can venture outside again soon! My big advice if you will be visiting Japan with your baby or kids is to make sure you bring baby panadol/medicine with you from home. All the medicine in Japan is Japanese brands and written in Japanese, so it’s hard to understand. If your child is sick, it’s the last thing you need to be trying to understand the medicine! Having said that, the doctors are fantastic here. I have a list of English speaking doctors in my Guide. Check my website for more info! www.tokyourbanbaby.com . #aoyama #diptique #omotesando #tokyoguide #tokyotravel #tokyowithkids #babytravel #familytravel #travelwithkids #tokyo #japan #japanguide #tokyoolympic #tokyocity #citylife #tokyourbanbaby #visitjapan #visitjapanau #mommylife #tokyocafe #beautifullife #perfume #japan🇯🇵
  • T i p ! Have you visited Shibuya before? If you have, then you’ll know it’s one of the hardest places to navigate in Tokyo, especially if you have a baby, stroller or suitcases in tow! And it has changed ALOT in the past year as Shibuya Stream has opened (pictured) and very soon the new Tokyu Department store will open with a whole new underground!✨ ✨ If you’ll be staying in Shibuya or visiting this awesome location with your children, make sure you get my guide! ✨ ✨ I’ve been living in Japan for 18 years (including 7 years with my 2 babies!). Shibuya is one of the Top 10 Baby Friendly Locations featured in my Tokyo Guide ebook, including how to navigate the station and where to find all the secret baby-friendly and kids-friendly cafes and playgrounds. ✨ ✨ Make sure you enjoy Shibuya and Tokyo’s old and new locations with your baby with the least stress and the most fun!

  • This is my Tokyo Guide ebook! You can download it to your PC, iPad and smartphone so it’s easy to access anytime anywhere! ✨ ✨ I have been living in Japan for 18 years and I started Tokyo Urban Baby in Jan 2012 after my first baby was born. Although I had lived in Japan for a long time, it was suddenly completely different with a baby! ✨ ✨ I didn't know how to get around with a stroller, where all the baby-friendly cafes were, where to buy diapers and baby food, where to feed my baby. The list is endless! ✨ ✨ After years of countless hours of research, as well as finding awesome hidden baby places while wandering the streets of Tokyo (plus lots of mistakes on the way!) I created The Tokyo Guide ebook so I can share all my favourite baby-friendly places with other parents who are traveling here and want to enjoy their trip with the least stress and the most fun. ✨ ✨ Since then parents from around the world have bought my ebook and they have had so much fun that some even decide to return to Tokyo again for another holiday (usually with more babies! Haha). ✨ ✨ You can get my ebook through my website Tokyo Urban Baby www.tokyourbanbaby.com (click on the link in my bio for quick access!). Get the Full Travel Package which includes the Tokyo Guide, bonus Kyoto Guide and membership! if you have any questions please let me know! xoxo Kate 😘 . . . #tokyoguide #tokyo #tokyotravel #tokyowithkids #tokyobaby #travel #traveltips #lifeinjapan #familytravel #japanguide #japantravel #lovejapan #japan #travelguide #babytravel #travelwithkids #kyoto #kyotowithkids #kyotoguide #tokyoolympics #japan #lovejapan #tokyourbanbaby #visitjapanau #visittokyo #tokyotokyo #tokyo🗼 #Japan🇯🇵
  • My goal for 2019 was to launch my new Kyoto Guide! I am so excited I did it! This is a photo of one of my first trips to Kyoto with my kids ✨ ✨ The first day was a complete disaster (this is a true story) - after trying to navigate Kyoto Station and checking in to our hotel, I finally arrived at the station at Fushimi Inari at lunchtime, it was extremely crowded and my kids were hungry, it was a hot day in Golden Week (1st week of May), and I couldn’t find any cafes or restaurants that didn’t have a huge long queue✨ ✨ I decided to go to a cafe on the corner near the station which looked fine from the outside, so I went in with my kids only to find it extremely conservative and unwelcoming to kids. I was so upset I ended up leaving and getting some sandwiches from the convenience store and we ate outside near a park ✨ ✨ I searched and searched online but couldn’t find the information I was looking for. This is when I realized I needed a Kyoto Guide especially for parents with babies and young kids! I spent hundreds of hours researching, trying out cafes and restaurants around all the main sightseeing spots in Kyoto, and gradually after many trips to Kyoto I started to collect all the best baby- and child-friendly locations together. Now I can go to Kyoto with confidence, knowing I can go to the exact locations where we can enjoy the amazing history of Kyoto with my kids with the least stress and the most fun! ✨ ✨ And you can too! I don’t want you to struggle as I have. I want you to enjoy Kyoto! All the details of my Kyoto Guide are already available in my ebook and I’m constantly updating my online guide too (included in my Full Travel Package!). If you have any questions please let me know! 🌸🌸🌸Click on the link in my bio for the details💕 www.tokyourbanbaby.com . . #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
  • K Y O T O 💕 Are you planning to visit Kyoto with your children? Similar to Tokyo, Kyoto is like a mystery and can be hard to find the baby-friendly locations! But if you know where to go, and how to get there, you’ll have a wonderful time just like the locals! ✨ ✨ Make sure you get my guide! I guarantee it will help you! The Kyoto Guide includes the Top 5 Locations in Kyoto 🌸 🌸🌿 1. Kyoto Station area (including the temples to the north and south of the station) 🌸 🌸 2. Fushimi Inari Shrine area (famous for the hundreds of red tori gates) 🌸 3. Kiyomizu-dera temple area (and the surrounding sightseeing spots) 🌸 4. Gion area (including the shopping area around Gion) 🌸 5. Kyoto Imperial Palace area (including Nijo Castle) ✨ ✨ Everything you need to know for you and your baby is covered!

  • T i p ! The rainy season is coming to Japan in June! Make sure you enjoy the spring flowers this week, because very soon the weather is going to be very up and down. ✨ ✨ Already the shops in Tokyo are starting to sell rainy season products - lots of cute raincoats, rainboots, and cute Japanese umbrellas. So even if you ARE here during rainy season, you can still enjoy all the colourful and cute Japanese rain wear! ✨ ✨ If you’re here with kids, make sure you bring clothes for layering! It can become quite cool during the rainy season, so it’s good to bring lots of spare clothes to keep your kids dry and warm. ✨ ✨ Check this blog post! https://www.tokyourbanbaby.com/2016/06/how-to-walk-around-tokyo-in-rainy-weather-with-2-toddlers/ ✨ ✨ #springinjapan #girlswhotravel #ashikagaflowerpark #あしかがフラワーパーク #tokyowithkids #tokyojapan #japanwithkids #familytravel #kidstravel #visitjapan #visitjapanau #visittokyo #beautiful #beautifullife #flowers #mommyblogger #mummyblogger #tokyoguide #travelwithkids #travel #traveltips #japan #あしフラフォト2019
  • This is one of the most frequently asked questions. What kind of baby food to buy in Japan?! It doesn't matter what age your child is, everyone experiences this. ✨ ✨ It is an extremely common issue when traveling to Japan - what to feed your baby, or most importantly, what does your baby want to eat? ✨ Children often "go off" food when they travel, due to a combination of different smells and flavors of the food of the country you are visiting, combined with a bit of jet lag and the different climate which also can affect their appetite. Especially in a place such as Japan! ✨ ✨ Make sure you get my Baby Food Guide to ensure you are prepared for anything and therefore can enjoy your travels in Tokyo without worrying about food the whole time:-) ✨ ✨ If you have already purchased my Tokyo Guide then you can login to your members dashboard and download the baby food guide. If you are new to Tokyo Urban Baby, you can get my Full Travel Package on my website! Click on the link in my bio:-) Have a wonderful time in Japan xoxo ✨ ✨ #baby #babyfoodguide #babyfood #travel #traveltips #familytraveltips #mom #japantravel #japanguide #familytravel #japanesefood #tokyoguide #tokyo #travelguide #foodguide #foodbaby #tokyowithkids #toddlertravel #babytravel #japan #babytravel #visitjapan #visittokyo #tokyotravel #babytips #tokyojapan
  • T i p ! If you are in Shinjuku and your kids need a wide open green space to run around in, make sure you visit Shinjuku Gyoen! ✨ ✨ It’s absolutely beautiful this time of year. ✨ ✨ Perfect for a picnic! You can enjoy relaxing while admiring the amazing view of the Tokyo skyscrapers in the distance✨ ✨ If you want to enjoy Shinjuku with your baby or children, make sure you get my Tokyo Guide ebook!
