About This Blog

Hi, I'm a Japanese dad living in Tokyo with my wife and our two daughters. Our family outings include playgrounds, museums, theme parks and hotels. Many reviews describe visits with our older daughter; her age in an article is her age at that visit.

I write from our family's experience, with photographs of the places we visited and practical details for parents planning Japan. Our younger daughter also joins some outings, but not every review is based on a visit with a baby. Comparison guides connect the places we have tried; they are not claims that we tested every hotel or attraction in an area.

How I keep the guides useful

Waits, meals and room details describe our visit, not a guarantee for yours. I link to official sources for changing rules and update articles when useful details change. Check current prices, opening dates, child charges and accessibility before booking. Affiliate links are disclosed and do not mean a venue is the best choice for every family.

What you'll find here

• Honest reviews of playgrounds and theme parks around Tokyo and beyond
• Family hotel reviews with the details that matter (co-sleeping rules, cribs, baby baths)
• Practical how-tos: riding the Shinkansen with a toddler, strollers in train stations, and more

(One small note: to keep our children's privacy off the internet, our photos show the places rather than our faces — but our own visit observations are kept separate from current official information.)
