Written in Tokyo, by parents
Japan with kids is easier than the internet makes it look.
We run a Japanese parenting site (kyounoko.jp) and take our own babies and toddlers to the restaurants, stations and parks you are googling right now. These guides are what we tell our friends when they visit.

EAT
Japanese Family Restaurants With Kids: The Cheat Sheet
Kids menus from around ¥400, free high chairs, bring-your-own baby food — how Japanese chain restaurants quietly solve dinner for you.
BABY CARE
Nursing Rooms & Diaper Changing in Tokyo: Where to Go
Department stores, stations and malls all have baby rooms — once you know the pattern, you are never more than 10 minutes from one.
PLAN
How to Plan Tokyo With a Toddler (Without the Meltdowns)
Jet lag, nap timing, one-neighborhood-per-day pacing — the planning rules that make Tokyo genuinely easy with small kids.
Why these guides are different
- First-hand, not scraped. We physically visit the restaurants and baby rooms we write about — this is the same research that powers our Japanese site used by Tokyo parents every day.
- Toddler-tested pacing. Every itinerary assumes naps, snack stops and one big thing per day — because that is how trips with small kids actually work.
- Made to be used on the go. Our printables and itineraries are built for phones and print — grab them once, use them in the moment.
