  • 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 ! 3 reasons to stay at @shibuya_excel_hotel_tokyu with kids: . 1. Location! Shibuya Station is complex to navigate, especially with children and a pram in tow. Save yourself the stress and stay in the most central spot - the hotel is practically above Shibuya Station (above Mark City) and has the most amazing views of the famous Shibuya Crossing below. You can enjoy even just sitting and watching the streets from your hotel room window! . 2. Early checkin - many hotels in Tokyo usually start checkin at 3pm, but Shibuya Excel Hotel has early checkin at 2pm! If you have kids you’ll understand how helpful this is, especially if you have jet lag. It was a huge relief to be able to get into our room and let my kids take a rest! I don’t know if I could have survived walking around for another hour! 🤣 . 3. Spacious rooms - our twin room was spacious and I was pleasantly surprised how big the bathroom is! In Japan the hotel rooms are usually small and the bathrooms can often only fit in one person, so it was wonderful to have a luxurious big bathroom that the whole family can fit in 😜 . Of course there are ALOT more wonderful points, but these 3 were the first that came to my mind after a day of sightseeing and having tired kids! Make sure you check it out if you’re coming to Tokyo soon! 💕 . . #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🇯🇵
  • I am very excited to share with you my interview with my Japanese mama friend Yuko. She is pregnant with her 3rd child (due next month) and I am always amazed how calm and carefree she is! I thought this would be a fantastic opportunity to interview Yuko about how she is managing with her 3rd pregnancy and her plans for birth and tips for other mums. ✨ Yuko also shares a list of Japanese nappies and milk formula that’s available in Japan, so if you want to see the latest brands on the shelf in Japan make sure you check this article! xoxo ✨ ✨ https://www.tokyourbanbaby.com/2019/06/interview-with-japanese-mother-pregnant-with-her-3rd-baby/ ✨ #baby #diapers #babyfood #pregnant #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 ! Do you know what my daughter is holding in her hand? It’s her Hello Kitty jewelry box😜when she was 3 years old, she never left the house without it! Not even when we went sightseeing at the temples and shrines in Kyoto! Here we are at Kiyomizudera at sunrise. It was absolutely beautiful, and luckily her pink jewelry box didn’t make any noise! Haha. So we didn’t interrupt the locals doing their sunrise meditation in the temple, and it kept my daughter happy too. ✨Highly recommend bringing some quiet toys for your kids to play with when you’re visiting the temples and shrines in Japan. It really helps! ✨ ✨ For all my tips to enjoy Japan with your kids, make sure you get my Tokyo and Kyoto Guides!🌸🌸🌸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 #tokyoolympics #olympics2020 #toddlertravel #travel #traveltips #travelblogger #lovejapan #kyototravel #kyotowithkids #visitjapan #visitjapanau #japan

  • 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!
