  • Do you know the best way to enjoy a temple or shrine in Kyoto with your kids? Go there at sunrise! There are no crowds, and your kids can enjoy exploring the temple grounds while you have some “quiet” time for YOU✨This is especially a great idea for kids with jet lag 😜 My kids wake up pretty early in summer in Japan at about 5:30am, so we had a quick breakfast and headed up to the temple at 6am. It was amazing! There were just a few locals there, and they were so kind and saying hi to my kids and even helped me find the temple toilet when my daughter suddenly decided she needed to go 😂 ✨ Kyoto is an AMAZING place to visit with your children. You just need to know where to go AND how to get there! Make sure you get my guide so you can plan your day trips in advance😘 Click on the link in my bio to learn more! . . . #kyoto #kyotoguide #kyototravel #kyotowithkids #kyotojapan #kyoto⛩ #kyoto🇯🇵 #babytravel #familytravel #traveltips #travelblogger #travelwithkids #travelinsider #visitjapan #visitjapanau #japan #tokyoolympics #olympics2020 #japanguide #japantravel #japaninstagram #japaninsider #travelgram #tokyourbanbaby #mytinyatlas #visitjapanau
  • I was on maternity leave when this photo was taken. I’d cuddle and feed my daughter when she was awake, and when she slept I would set to work on creating my first guidebook. For me this was like the perfect way to balance being a mother and working at the same time! It was a joy to spend every moment with my baby while also feeling the joy of being creative. It took me 10 months to write my Tokyo Guide ebook, which was launched in Jan 2015. Since then I’ve kept working on updating it and released the 3rd Edition in 2018. ✨ . This post is a little less about traveling in Tokyo sorry! It’s a bit about achieving your dreams. And to remind myself to keep moving forward. Because I know how hard it is to be creative while being so busy working and raising children at the same time. I’m currently in the final stages of writing my Kyoto Guide and while my circumstances are very different to 4 years ago, I still do it the same way. Which is the ONLY way 😂 - basically take it step by step and know that you’ll finally reach your goal at the end. The only way I can get to the end goal is to take it one small step at a time. Sometimes I only have 15min or so to myself on the weekends to sit down and write a few paragraphs or research a location. But gradually if you add up all those 15min, and if you do it consistently every week over several months, you suddenly realize you’ve achieved your dreams and published your book! ✨ . So whatever your goal is, even if it is to have the holiday in Japan that you’ve always dreamed about, believe in yourself as you can do it! Just take it step by step, take a few minutes each week to work on your travel plan, and before you know it you’ll be hopping off the plane at Narita Airport with your baby in your arms and having the most amazing time! 🎊🎉🎊 . . #mom #momlife #mompreneur #mum #mummy #mumlife #mumpreneur #entrepreneurlife #mommyandme #tokyourbanbaby #kateneath #tokyoguide #kyotoguide #tokyotravel #traveltips #japanguide #japantravel #mytinyatlas #beautifullife #tokyoolympic #japan #mompreneurlife #mompreneurship #businesschicks #tokyo
  • Quiz! Do you know where this is in Tokyo? ✨ I’ve been coming to this amazing place for the past 15 years since I first came to Tokyo! When I first came, it was draped in scaffolding for renovation, and then finally the restored building was “unveiled”. This is definitely one of the highlights for me and my kids! We love looking up at this ceiling and the light shining through. Do you know where it is? ☺️ . . . #tokyowithkids #tokyotravel #tokyourbanbaby #tokyoguide #citylife #visittokyo #visitjapan #visitjapanau #japanwithkids #japanguide #travel #traveltips #familytravel #mytinyatlas #travelblog #travelerinjapan #travelphotography #travelblogger #globeexplorer #globetrotter #visualoflife #welltravelled #welltravelledkids #theglobewanderer #tokyoolympics #japan #iphoneography
  • T i p ! Do you want your children to experience different cultures? Make sure you visit Japan! ✨ ✨ Here we are in Kyoto - my kids were mesmerized (and super shy as you can see by them suddenly hiding on the side!) when they saw these ladies walking by in the early morning. Such a wonderful experience and now they always say “kimono! kimono!” whenever they see anyone dressed up in kimono ☺️ ✨ ✨ Kyoto is an AMAZING place to visit with your children. You just need to know where to go AND how to get there! Make sure you get my guide so you can plan your day trips in advance😘 My Tokyo Guide now includes my online Kyoto Guide, full with video tutorials and itineraries perfect for parents with babies, toddlers, and young children!

  • Want to enjoy Tokyo with your baby 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 baby 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. . ✨✨ Come and join my workshop! I am talking about all the questions you need to be asking yourself if you are planning a trip to Japan with your baby or toddler. Click on the link in my bio to learn more!

  • T i p ! Typhoon season is officially around September in Japan, but they actually start now. If you were in Tokyo over the past few days you would have experienced the strong winds and rain from a typhoon that passed over the west of Japan. Most of the time the typhoons don’t pass directly over Tokyo, but sometimes they do. It’s always important to check the weather forecast and prepare in advance. For example, as there are strong winds it can be dangerous to take your kids to the local park as branches might fall from the trees. So you’ll find the parks virtually empty when a typhoon is coming! Make sure you stay indoors, and it’s a good idea to avoid training travel. If you are visiting Japan on a holiday, you can still enjoy! Just go to the local department store and stay undercover. Get my guide if you need tips and advice for where to play indoors! There is another typhoon approaching and is due to hit Okinawa early next week. Take care everyone and stay safe! . . . #tokyotravel #traveltips #tokyoguide #tokyowithkids #babytravel #familytravel #mytinyatlas #livethelittlethings #thehappynow #kidstravel #tokyoolympic #travelguide #citylife #cityoasis #japanguide #japantravel #travel #japanwithkids #visittokyo #visitjapan #globetrotter #aroundtheworld #tokyolife #tokyostyle #tokyotrip #tokyourbanbaby #toddlertravel
  • T r u t h ⭐️ kids get tired from lots of sightseeing. Look at my kids faces in this photo! 😳 I think they lasted about 2 days of temples and shrines in Kyoto before they started to run around aimlessly and test my patience ☺️ At that point I decided to do what they want to do - go to the local playground, hang out with the local kids, eat icecream, and in general just run around a lot:) this is definitely part of traveling with kids! I personally think a good balance is sightseeing in the early morning, followed by playground, early lunch at 11am when the restaurants open, afternoon nap, and then one more sightseeing spot in the afternoon. Then early dinner and early to bed. And then wake early in the morning and do it all again! 😜 . . . #kyoto #kidstravel #familytravel #mytinyatlas #globeexplorer #travelblogger #welltravelled #welltravelledkids #globetrotter #tokyoguide #kyotogram #kyotoguide #kyototrip #kyototravel #kyotojapan #japantravel #japanguide #babytravel #tokyoolympic #japan🇯🇵 #thehappynow #livethelittlethings #darlingweekend #japanphoto #visitjapan #visitjapanau
