Tokyo Urban Baby
  • T i p ! This is one of the most beautiful areas to enjoy Tokyo with a stroller. Huge wide open spaces with amazing views of the city. ✨ Do you know where it is? ✨ This is Tokyo Station! This is the view of the station from the Marunouchi side. It was actually under renovation for years and years and completely covered in scaffolding so you could never see it, but now it’s finished and it is really very beautiful. Behind is the huge station complex with the underground train lines and bullet train platforms. ✨ If you want to enjoy this area with your baby and children, make sure you get my Tokyo Guide! This side of Tokyo (Marunouchi) is one of the Top 10 Baby-Friendly Locations featured in my guide. It can be very difficult to find where all the baby-friendly cafes and diaper change tables are in amongst the high rise buildings and sightseeing spots, so if you want to enjoy with the least stress and the most fun, make sure you get my guide! ✨ Click on the link in my bio to learn more! . . . #japanguide #babytravel #tokyoguide #cityview #familytravel #kidstravel #japantravel #tokyotravel #kyototravel #toddler #baby #lovejapan #lifeinjapan #japantour #japantrip #visitjapan #visitjapanau #tokyo #tokyowithkids #tokyoolympics #beautifulcity #tokyostation #takemethere #japan🇯🇵
  • T i p ! Worried about jetlag and travel sickness with your kids on your trip to Tokyo? My son always gets sick when we catch the plane, and jetlag can be super stressful if you are only here for a short time! ✨ ✨ I highly recommend to take a rest at Narita Airport and enjoy slow sightseeing at Narita Mountain Temple for a day! This is absolutely amazing and often missed by travelers because they usually bypass this whole area and catch the express straight into Tokyo city. Many people don’t realize that you can enjoy Japanese temples and AMAZING traditional ceremonies right here just 5min from the airport! ✨ ✨ Here we are at the Great Peace Pagoda, situated on the highest peak of the mountain. There are many temples, pagodas and traditional sites on “Naritasan” (Narita Mountain). It has a history spanning over 1000 years! ✨ ✨ Make sure you visit with your kids and stay overnight at the Narita airport hotel either on arrival or the day before departure. I guarantee it will help reduce the stress and increase the FUN for your trip to Japan with your kids! ✨ ✨ . #narita #tokyo #tokyoguide #japanguide #kyotoguide #babytravel #traveltips #toddlertravel #familytravel #travelwithkids #tokyoolympics #japantravel #visitjapan #visitjapanau #visittokyo #takemethere #beautifullife #globetrotter #livemoremagic #thehappynow #letthembelittle #mommyandme #mummyblogger #mompreneur #slowmotherhood #passionpassport #japan🇯🇵
  • T i p ! Want some fresh air and some space to let your kids run around when you get to Narita Airport in Tokyo? I highly recommend to visit Narita Mountain Temple! It is amazing!! ✨ ✨ I’ve lived in Japan for over 15 years and I’ve always wanted to visit this temple, but I’m usually so focused on getting to the airport or getting into the city, there is never enough time. ✨ ✨ This time though, I decided to take it slow, stay overnight at a hotel at Narita Airport, and get lots of fresh air and relax time before the flight. My son is actually extremely sensitivity to travel sickness (he gets motion sickness in the car/bus/plane really easily!) so I wanted to give him plenty of time to rest and recover between the bus and plane. ✨ ✨ We caught a taxi to the temple (just a few minutes from the hotel) and it was even more amazing than I expected! Make sure you visit with your kids!! I’ll be posting photos, videos, and tips from our trip to the temple so make sure you check it out! ✨ ✨ . #narita #tokyo #tokyoguide #japanguide #kyotoguide #babytravel #traveltips #toddlertravel #familytravel #travelwithkids #tokyoolympics #japantravel #visitjapan #visitjapanau #visittokyo #takemethere #beautifullife #globetrotter #livemoremagic #thehappynow #letthembelittle #mommyandme #mummyblogger #mompreneur #slowmotherhood #passionpassport #japan🇯🇵
  • So excited for Christmas! Did you know Tokyo Tower now has a love heart lit up at night time?

  • 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! ✨ ✨ 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 over 15 years (including 7 years with my 2 babies!). Shibuya is one of the Top 10 Baby Friendly Locations featured in my ebook, including how to navigate the station and where to find all the secret baby-friendly and kids-friendly cafes and playgrounds ✨ ✨ Click on the link in my bio to learn more 🌸 www.tokyourbanbaby.com . . . #shibuya #shibuyacrossing #shibuyastation #shibuyatokyo #shibuyaguide #shibuyatravel #tokyoguide #tokyotravel #tokyowithkids #babytravel #familytravel #travelwithkids #tokyo #japan #japanguide #cityview #tokyoolympic #tokyocity #citylife #tokyourbanbaby #visitjapan #momblogger #momlife #visitjapanau #takemethere #mommylife #mommyandme #japan🇯🇵
  • This gate is the only surviving structure of the mausoleum complex Daitoku-in, built at the beginning of the Edo Period by the third shogun of the Tokugawa dynasty. It’s huge! . You may not realize, but it’s actually the gateway to a beautiful park and lots of open space for kids to run around. A must visit for families visiting Tokyo! . P.S. can you see the beautiful autumn leaves through the gate up the hill? It’s beautiful! I took this photo just last weekend 💕(and love the snow effect because it was actually snowing today! 😜❄️⛩❄️⛩❄️) . . #zojoji #theprinceparktowertokyo #tokyohotel #tokyocity #tokyo #tokyoguide #tokyotravel #tokyowithkids #babytravel #familytravel #travelwithkids #visittokyo #japan #japanguide #tokyoolympic #tokyocity #citylife #tokyourbanbaby #visitjapan #visitjapanau #citylife #luxurytravel #travel #luxuryhotel #hotel #beautifullife #japantravel #takemethere #japan🇯🇵
  • 3 things you didn’t know about Zojoji Temple in Tokyo: . 1. Six of the Tokugawa shoguns are buried in the temple grounds. ✨ 2. The temple's Sangadetsumon (main gate) is the oldest wooden building in Tokyo, dating from 1622 ✨ 3. The original buildings, temples, mausoleums and the cathedral (except for the main gate in #2) were all destroyed by fire, natural disasters or air raids during World War II. So what we see is the restoration ✨✨✨ . If you visit Tokyo Tower, make sure you also visit Zojoji Temple at its base. It is amazing! Your children will also LOVE playing in the park next door 💕 If you are visiting Tokyo with your baby or children make sure you get my guide!

  • 3 Fun Facts about cherry blossoms in Japan 🌸🌸🌸 . 1. There are over 600 varieties of cherry blossoms in Japan . 2. While the regular cherry blossoms have 5 petals, there are also varieties that have over 100 petals on each single blossom! . 2. There is a very famous cherry blossom tree in Yamanashi Prefecture that is said to be 1800-2000 years old. It is 10 meters high, AND also has a 10 meter root circumference. (All the branches are held up by long sticks)! . Looking forward to cherry blossom season in just a few months!! . . #tokyo #tokyoguide #japanguide #kyotoguide #babytravel #traveltips #toddlertravel #familytravel #travelwithkids #tokyoolympics #japantravel #visitjapan #visitjapanau #visittokyo #takemethere #beautifullife #globetrotter #livemoremagic #thehappynow #letthembelittle #mommyandme #mummyblogger #mompreneur #slowmotherhood #passionpassport #japan🇯🇵
  • “Focus on your goals and don’t look in any direction but ahead” ✨ 2018 has been a really big year in many ways. I published the 3rd version of the Tokyo Guide, updated my website (which takes a huge amount of time in itself! 😜), and wrote my new Kyoto Guide which I just sent the final draft to my ebook designer last night💕 It’s not easy to keep working towards your goal (especially with busy family schedule and working full-time 😜), but I always have hope that if I achieve a small step each week, I can gradually get to the destination. ✨ ✨ So today, I treated myself to see this view of Tokyo Tower! I’ve been wanting to find this spot for a very long time. I searched and searched and finally I found it. It was magical! ✨ ✨ If you are visiting Tokyo, make sure you go up close to Tokyo Tower and enjoy the surrounding parks with your kids! Even though it’s getting cold now, there were still lots of people there enjoying the autumn leaves and even having picnics in the park! ✨ ✨ Not long now and it will be snowing and Christmas, and then we’ll reach the next magical season in Japan - Cherry Blossom season. I can’t wait!! 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸 . . #tokyotower #tokyo #tokyoguide #japanguide #kyotoguide #traveltips #toddlertravel #familytravel #travelwithkids #tokyoolympics #japantravel #visitjapan #visitjapanau #visittokyo #takemethere #beautifullife #globetrotter #livemoremagic #thehappynow #letthembelittle #sheisnotlost #pink #mommyandme #mummyblogger #mompreneur #slowmotherhood #passionpassport #japan🇯🇵
  • 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! ✨ ✨ I’ve also just last night submitted my final draft for all the chapters and maps in my new Kyoto Guide ebook!

  • Hi! I’m Kate. Nice to meet you! My goal is to help you enjoy Tokyo with your baby with the least stress and the most fun! ✨ ✨ I understand how daunting it can be to travel here 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 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. ✨ ✨ My guide includes the Tokyo Guide ebook PLUS bonus members section and interactive map including my latest online 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.

  • T i p ! If you are traveling in Japan with young children, it's a good idea to bring a quiet activity that they can do while you are looking at the shrines and temples. ✨ ✨ When we went to Kyoto with Grandad, he thankfully gave my kids an origami kit with an instruction booklet, so we sat on the steps at the base of the temple and quietly played. My kids were running around crazily 5 seconds before and I thought we would have to leave!! Then I suddenly remembered the origami so I quickly whipped it out and quickly sat them down and they calmed down and had a lovely time. I could also sit and take a rest and enjoy looking at the temple! Phew!! ✨ ✨ For all my tips and video tutorials about traveling in Kyoto with a baby and kids (and Tokyo!), make sure you get my Tokyo Guide which includes my online Kyoto Guide!
