Good tips for travelling in Japan! Japanese typically travel (very) light, often with only a carry-on enough to pack for 3 sets of clothes. For larger luggages, Japanese would use the courier service (such as Yamamoto Transport, with the mother-cat-kitten logo) which is super efficient, very fast, and reasonable price-wise. Another travel tip is to rent the locker at train stations, instead of lugging/pushing/pulling luggage around up/down stairs.
Yes! All great advice! All of this can be found in the video, too ♥️♥️ STORAGE LOCKERS (GREAT FOR DITCHING STROLLERS + EXTRA BAGS) can be seen at 16:01 // LUGGAGE FORWARDING w/ YAMATO 19:26 MAIL YOUR BAGS/ STROLLER TO YOUR NEXT LOCATION
Thank you for this video! We look forward to our family trip with our 4 year old in April. Visiting Tokyo, Osaka, and Hiroshima. Enjoyed your Miyajima video as well.
This is a great list and much information. There were some things you skirted around but didn't hit it like the high chair situation in restaurants. You absolutely can find restaurant that have high chairs but they are "family restaurants" like IHOP, Sizzler, etc. My wife and I were used to going wherever we want and avoiding places like this but we kind of had to with our baby and it was fun to try. Disappointing food, yes but for a couple of times on our trip was okay. Food courts, while absolutely better than the ones in the US, still doesnt come close to the better stuff you can get elsewhere. There are better restaurants that allow you to come in but you had better have ur own high chair. For some reason, Japanese toddlers sit still and our half American half Korean toddler wouldn't. We ordered a high chair strap, basically all cloth with straps that can make any chair a high chair from Amazon japan. It was a life savor. Also, contingency for rain. Japanese stores sell stroller covers but they are for small Japanese strollers. Bring the smallest travel stroller you can find bc our small one was still too big for it. Also, it's is nice when you are in an area where they sell clothing for toddlers but it's not like the US where u can find a Walmart or two in every neighborhood. We had to go to specific places to buy clothing. Our luggage was delayed and our toddler decided to throw up all over the clothing on me and her, the moment before stepping off of a train. We felt bad but we couldn't miss our stop so we just stepped off. Thirdly, toddlers or babies can go into Onsens. Our friend who lives in Japan took us to one and releaved my wife's worry that toddlers can not come in. Obviously, it might be stressful to chase her around. I was told that all the ladies loved her and complimented my daughter. Oh and a good solution for the hotel room is a small tent system for your toddler. Our toddler will not go to bed if she see us in the same room. The tent gives her her own space in a small hotel room if a bassinet or another space in available.
Oh my gosh!! The disability filter is going to be life saver next time I am there!!! I can't even tell you how many times we've carried our double stroller up and down the stairs in Tokyo Hahhaa 😅☠️
Thank you for sharing! My husband and I have travelled to Japan but next month we are going with our son and toddler daughter and this has been REALLY HELPFUL
@heratlas can you use that baggage delivery service to get your bags to the airport from your hotel if you have an afternoon flight or is that too quick?
My goodness those baby rooms are amazing 😭 I've had to nurse or change my son in the car or on the bathroom floor (with towel under him for a clean spot) that's such a blessing
Thanks for all your awesome videos. Love seeing how things have changed there since the 80s and 90s. Hopefully 7 and 1 holdings doesn’t sellout to that Canadian company.
Thank you so much for this amazing and extended tutorial! I have been to japan before, but never with kids, so I was kind of anxious, but after watching your video I feel ready to tackle tokyo with my 3yo next week!♡
Wow, this is one of the most helpful videos! Thanks for showing footage of what you’re talking about (e.g., what the diaper and whole milk looks like) rather than just talking. Thank you!
Um excuse me how dare you post this 3 months AFTER I get back from a family Japan trip with my 2 year old 😂 just kidding, hoping to go back in a few years with 2 kids this time
Also, I travel with my 14 lb cat and I used to wait until my zone number to board on planes but now I consider myself eligible for the priority boarding, since he's heavier than a baby and I need to set his carrier under the seat 😊so when they say "we are now boarding people traveling with children or needing assistance," I go 👍
Where would you suggest getting larger packs of diapers for a longer trip? So appreciate this information we're doing a last minute trip with our 10 month old in less than a week! I am also currently breastfeeding and that app you suggested seems so helpful!

Love and appreciate this video! I would love to know more about purchasing formula and diapers. My family and I are travelling for 16 days in January! Would you have any recommendations for buying formula, diapers, shampoo, Tylenol etc?
Thank you for this, it's so great! Travelling to Japan in May with a 20 month old! Can you help us understand the diaper sizing? Here in Ireland it goes by kg
As a Dad planning for our Japan Trip, this is the most informative video i came across. I have a question though, where do you dispose soiled diapers on the go? I'm aware Japan has really strict rules on trash and when i visited years ago it was hard to find a trash bin, i would carry a plastic bag for my trash. But dont think i want to carry and tour around with a soiled diaper 😂 thank you for this video!
Are there any options for long term stroller rentals in Japan? Like renting for several days as opposed to hours. Thanks and really enjoyed watching your video.
Thanks so much for creating this video. I am planning to travel to Japan next your with my child that will turn 1year old. I have been nervous about the sleeping situation in hotels. This was informative. Do you have the GB pocket stroller here?
This video is amazing! Thank you for creating such a great guide! Just what I was looking for since I will be traveling to Japan with my 9 month old in 2 weeks. I have a question about the types of water Japan has. My baby is formula fed and I prefer to use purified water to make his formula. Is bottled purified water easy to find there and what brands do they sell? Thank you!!
If America wanted the population to have more babies, then I want to see these types of accommodations EVERYWHERE. Also with proper, PROFESSIONAL medical care
I’m so jealous! It just makes my heart sad because I can’t see myself ever having a family in the US because it’s just not built for kids. They’re treated like such an inconvenience.
Yeah we avoid bus’ if we can! We we do have to take a bus we just lift it into the vehicle, or collapse the stroller and take it on (another reason a travel stroller is essential)
@@heratlas yeah we’ve been just standing in the aisle with her in the pram. Another thing we’ve noticed is older ladies here looooove children! Just contact Kawaii’s haha!
Thank you! I now feel confident planning my trip. Any particular stroller brand recommendations? Like do Japanese moms use Yo-yo? Or there is something better? Thank you
Hello, I have a question regarding diapers. I know Japan has segregated trash bins for cans, burnables,and others, and people said that it's hard to find bins in public, some said that there are fewer bins now than before. How difficult is it to throw used diapers when out in the city? Is it true that bathrooms don't always have trash bins in them?
I have a question. what restaurants (specific) would you recommend for families. we are going to Japan in the spring with our 9 month old baby who will then start eating solid food. Do you have any suggestions for good options from conbini and what to consider based on your experiences?

Foreigners will always be foreigners. After so many years in Japan, you still don't have the local etiquette to remove shoes off at the door.
We watched a bunch of videos about travelling to Japan with a baby until now and yours was BY FAR the most informative and useful! Thank you so much!
Awesome! Thank you!!!
I don't even have kids but I was fully invested in this vid, beginning to end. Very informative.
same here!

I’m so glad to hear it - Happy travels to you and your little ones!
Love your videos girl never stop posting😭❤
I am coming to Japan in October with my 16 month old daughter, its reassuring to see how accommodating Japan can be!
How did your trip go??
Thank you for this! Traveling to Tokyo next month with our 2 year old and infant!
anytime!! I hope it's sooo helpful!
@heratlas can you use that baggage delivery service to get your bags to the airport from your hotel if you have an afternoon flight or is that too quick?
@@TristanShieldsVlogs you would need to ship your items 24-48 hours prior… or get a cab!
@@heratlasthank you! Good to know

I love a visual, too!
@ So, update: We went to Japan this October and I legit used a screenshot of your video to find the milk! Thanks again!
love your videos. I recommend you to everyone. This was so informative- i truly hope to visit Japan one day
My kids are grown but this video was great. I love learning about daily life in Japan. Thanks for all the work you put into this video ❤
I hope it was interesting! I love learning about other cultures too!
This was the best japan family travel video I have seen. Thank you!
thank youuuu!
I hope you also make a video about Japan seasonal travel packing with kids.
Um excuse me how dare you post this 3 months AFTER I get back from a family Japan trip with my 2 year old 😂 just kidding, hoping to go back in a few years with 2 kids this time
I don't even have children but I will definitely use the luggage transfer when I visit Japan! Wow! 👍
Also, I travel with my 14 lb cat and I used to wait until my zone number to board on planes but now I consider myself eligible for the priority boarding, since he's heavier than a baby and I need to set his carrier under the seat 😊so when they say "we are now boarding people traveling with children or needing assistance," I go 👍
thank you for sharing your personal
experiences and for this very informative video! helps a lot 🥰
You're so welcome!!!
This is so insightful!
I hope it helps if you're visiting soon, and that it's interesting to learn about!

First comment. :) Thanks for the content.
Thanks for tuning in!
What’s the travel stroller you used in the video?

I’m so jealous! It just makes my heart sad because I can’t see myself ever having a family in the US because it’s just not built for kids. They’re treated like such an inconvenience.
What about Pull-ups? Is this available in Japan or just a North America thing? Very helpful video! Traveling soon with a 4 year old ❤
Pull-up diapers? Very common in Japan. Actually pull-up diapers are more common than the ones you tape to close!
Great!
Currently in Japan with a toddler! One thing I find not to be pram friendly is buses!
Yeah we avoid bus’ if we can! We we do have to take a bus we just lift it into the vehicle, or collapse the stroller and take it on (another reason a travel stroller is essential)

You do not in Japan

ベビールーム内には必ずオムツ用のゴミ箱があります。また一般のトイレにおむつ替え台が設置してあれば、そこのゴミ箱にオムツを捨てて大丈夫です。ショッピングモール、スーパーマーケット、デパート、ホテル、ファミリーレストラン、映画館、メジャーなレジャー施設、観光施設、空港や主要駅、新幹線や特急列車内であればオムツを捨てるのに困らないと思いますが、コンビニのトイレは狭いのでゴミ箱は無いかも知れません。どうしても困ったらスタッフに相談することをおすすめします。
オムツを捨てられますか？
Omutsu wo sute rale masuka?
@@ammmmmymya Thank you very much.
I always throw them away in the bathrooms :)
I have a question. what restaurants (specific) would you recommend for families. we are going to Japan in the spring with our 9 month old baby who will then start eating solid food. Do you have any suggestions for good options from conbini and what to consider based on your experiences?
They are baby foods in Pharmacy or supermarket.
離乳食を始めたばかりの赤ちゃんにはコンビニのヨーグルトは手に入れやすいでしょう。離乳中~後期の赤ちゃん向けには、おにぎりや焼き鮭、蒸しパン、ロールパン、うどんが良いですが、蕎麦はアレルギーに注意が必要です。
ドラッグストアでパウチや瓶の離乳食を購入してください。
食品のパッケージにアレルギーに関する原材料の表示が必ずあるのでGoogle翻訳でチェックすると安心です。
ドラッグストアやスーパーで離乳食のパウチを購入しておくのもお勧めです。大抵のレストランではベビーフーの持ち込みを受け入れてくれるので店員に聞いてみてください。
ガスト、びっくりドンキーなどのファミリーレストランやCoCo壱番屋、かっぱ寿司、スシローには離乳食メニューがあるそうです。
The reason why this stuff isn’t available in America is because people wouldn’t appreciate it and destroy/steal items.
damn you really let us wait on that house tour you said will come soon
I changed my mind for privacy reasons! thanks for understanding
thank god for no more pontoon yatcht crap
