  • T i p ! Did you know you can walk easily from Shibuya to Harajuku? ✨ ✨ Not many travelers to Tokyo know this, but if you walk from Shibuya Station and go under the train tracks (through this tunnel in the photo) and turn left you can walk straight to Harajuku and Omotesando. It’s one of the many walking routes that I explain in detail in my Tokyo Guide for parents with children! ✨ ✨ Why? Because when your baby falls asleep in the pram, or if it’s a glorious day outside like today, probably the last thing you want to do is to get on the train. So why not walk! It’s fabulous, easy with kids and a stroller, and it’s fun because you can discover the back streets and secret gems of Tokyo! ✨ ✨ If you want to enjoy this walking route with your baby and kids, while knowing exactly where to change nappies or take a break in a child-friendly cafe on the way if you need to, make sure you get my Tokyo Guide! It includes all this information and much much more. You can get my ebook through my website Tokyo Urban Baby www.tokyourbanbaby.com (click on the link in my bio for quick access!). 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 #tokyocameraclub #tokyo🗼 #Japan🇯🇵

  • T i p ! Did you know yesterday was “Coming of Age” day in Japan? It’s a special day to celebrate turning 20 years old in Japan. If you were here yesterday, you would have noticed girls dressed in the most stunning kimonos everywhere you went!!! I decided to take my kids to Meiji Shrine to make a wish for the new year, and we were so lucky it was also this special day. Many of the girls dressed up were also there with their mothers. This girl in my photo was also having a photo taken by her mother. So sweet! If you are planning a trip to Japan in January, make sure you time it with this special day which is on the second Monday in January every year!!! 💕💕🌸 . . . #tokyo #kimono #visitjapanau #bestvacations #passionpassport #dametraveler #lifetravelchannel #traveleroftheweek #luxuryworldtraveler #travelblogger #travelgoals #lifewelltravelled #visittokyo #tokyojapan #visitjapan #sheisnotlost #wearetravelgirls #girlsborntotravel #ladiesgoneglobal #globelletravels #womenwhoexplore #femmetravel #traveleroftheweek #kidstravel #familytravel #toddlertravel #asakusa #japan🇯🇵
  • T i p ! Are you coming to Tokyo in January? This is what we’re wearing right now! It’s cold and it snowed a little on Saturday night, but we can still go and run around in the park 😜my kids are wearing long pants, long socks, cotton long sleeve top, winter jacket, and if early morning I also put on their scarf and hats. Remember if you are coming with a baby, I highly recommend a footmuff for your stroller and a winter cover for your baby carrier to keep your baby warm. Also remember to take off their blankets and jackets in the train and bus to avoid overheating. Take care and have fun!!! 💕 Here is a blog post about how I made a DIY baby carrier cover when my kids were babies! https://www.tokyourbanbaby.com/2013/01/how-to-make-a-diy-winter-cover-for-your-baby-sling-自分で作ろう、ベビースリングカバ/ . . . #tokyomidtown #tokyo #tokyoguide #japan #japanguide #babytravel #travel #traveltips #toddlertravel #familytravel #mompreneur #tokyoolympics #japantravel #visitjapan #visitjapanau #tokyotravel #lovejapan #lifeinjapan #mytinyatlas #beautifullife #kidstravel #city #citylife #tokyocity #traveljapan #traveltokyo #japan🇯🇵
  • I just received this message! **** Your guide was incredibly useful. We took our five yr old and nine mo old to Tokyo for a week long trip. Both boys have very different needs. Thanks to the guide book I was able to quickly find a playground for my older one during my younger one’s naptime. Restaurant recommendations is a must-have. Thank you Kate for making our trip way less stressful. ***** This message makes me so happy! Honestly it just makes my day to receive these messages. Thank you!! 💕💕💕 . . . #tokyo #visitjapanau #bestvacations #passionpassport #dametraveler #lifetravelchannel #traveleroftheweek #luxuryworldtraveler #travelblogger #travelgoals #lifewelltravelled #visittokyo #tokyojapan #visitjapan #sheisnotlost #wearetravelgirls #girlsborntotravel #ladiesgoneglobal #globelletravels #womenwhoexplore #femmetravel #traveleroftheweek #kidstravel #familytravel #toddlertravel #asakusa #japan🇯🇵
  • T i p ! Do you know where this is? It is Fushimi Inari Shrine! It’s absolutely beautiful and a must visit if you’re in Kyoto💕 ✨ ✨ The question that many mums and dads ask though is how to enjoy this amazing site with a baby, toddler or young children?? ✨ ✨ This is actually one of the most challenging places to navigate with a baby or kids in tow! Trust me - I’ve been through it all! These sites in Kyoto are extremely popular, so you are not only struggling to get through the crowds, but you also need to find nappy-change tables, baby food, hidden local playgrounds in the backstreets (always a necessity for your kids when they have a meltdown or simply want to “play”! Trust me it will happen every day!😜), child-friendly restaurants and cafes and somewhere that welcomes kids and where mum and dad can have a break without worrying about anything! ✨ ✨ If you want to enjoy your special time in Kyoto with your family, with the least stress and the most fun, make sure you get my guide! 💕To celebrate the launch of my new Kyoto Guide, I’m offering 30% off the full package until 31st January 2019! This includes all my video tutorials too - see my stories for some sneak peeks! ✨ ✨ Click on the link in my bio to learn more 💕 www.tokyourbanbaby.com . . . #kyoto #kyotoguide #kyototravel #kyotowithkids #kyotojapan #kyoto⛩ #kyoto🇯🇵 #babytravel #familytravel #traveltips #travelblogger #travelwithkids #travelinsider #visitjapan #visitjapanau #japan #tokyoolympics #olympics2020 #japanguide #japantravel #japaninstagram #japaninsider #travelgram #visitjapan #visitjapanau #mytinyatlas #globetrotter #takemethere #japan🇯🇵
  • T i p ! Are you planning to visit Kyoto with your baby or toddler? Will you also have a stroller in tow? ✨ ✨ This temple is one of my absolute favourites in Kyoto, but it is also the most difficult to visit with kids in tow! Do you know where to change diapers if your baby has a sudden blowout in the temple?? (Believe me this happened to me on one of our first visits when my second baby was still in nappies! ><) Do you know how to navigate the temples with a stroller?? Do you know where to buy nappies and baby food if you suddenly run out? Do you know where are the child friendly cafes and restaurants and sightseeing spots? ✨ ✨ Make sure you get my Kyoto Guide! I guarantee it will help you and ensure you enjoy Kyoto with the least stress AND the most fun!! My new guide covers the Top 5 Locations in Kyoto including Kyoto Station area (including the temples to the north and south of the station), Fushimi Inari Shrine area, Kiyomizu-dera area (and the surrounding sightseeing spots), Gion area (including Kawaramachi area) and Kyoto Imperial Palace area (including Nijo Castle). ✨ ✨ Everything you need to know for you and your baby is covered! Including child-friendly cafes and restaurants, child-friendly sightseeing spots, baby nursing rooms and nappy change table locations, secret playgrounds and parks, rooftop gardens, and much more!! ✨ ✨ Click on the link in my bio to learn more!!! www.tokyourbanbaby.com . . . #kyotoguide #babytravel #tokyo #kyoto #tokyotravel #tokyowithkids #tokyourbanbaby #lifeinjapan #japantips #guidebook #travelguide #japantour #familytravel #kidstravel #traveljapan #toddlertravel #travel #traveltips #travelblogger #lovejapan #kyototravel #kyotowithkids #visitjapanau #takemethere #visitjapanau #japanawaits #japan_vacations #japanrevealed #japan🇯🇵

  • 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 woke up pretty early in this photo in Kyoto, 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! My Kyoto Guide is officially launching this weekend, but you can take a sneak peek right now already on my website! There is a special 30% discount when you buy the full package including both my Tokyo and Kyoto Guides!

  • I’m launching my Kyoto Guide this weekend!!!! This is a “REAL” photo from one of our trips to Kyoto - my son’s energy was in overdrive, my daughter was doing the “drop out of pram” trick when I really wanted her to stay in it, and I was absolutely exhausted after the bullet train where I spent the whole time chasing my kids up and down the train. ✨ ✨ THIS is the reality!!!! THIS is why I created my Kyoto Guide!!! So that YOU can realize your dreams of enjoying this amazing historical city and all the shrines and temples with your kids with the least stress and the most fun! You can jump off the Shinkansen with my ebook in hand, and know exactly where to go and how to get there, without having to worry. You can relax and enjoy this amazing experience!!! ✨ ✨ I’m launching my Kyoto Guide this weekend!!! Stay tuned for the release!!! . . . . #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 @japan.photographer
