Episode notes

What changes once you have a baby in Japan?

In this episode of Matcha Mums, I talk about everyday family infrastructure in the Tokyo area — from navigating trains with a stroller to baby rooms in shopping malls, child-friendly restaurants, and hidden playgrounds across the city.

I also highlight Kosodate Hiroba (Child-Rearing Support Centers) — free community spaces where parents with young children can meet, play, and get advice from childcare professionals.

This episode is especially helpful for:

  • New parents in Japan
  • Families who recently moved here
  • Expecting parents wondering what daily life with a baby looks like

A practical and honest look at getting around Japan with a baby or toddler.
