Tokyo with toddlers
Tokyo with a toddler is easier than you expect. Nursing rooms are in every mall, baby-change counters in every station, convenience stores sell toddler meals, and parks are everywhere. The hardest part is managing jet lag.

Where to stay with toddlers (ages 1–3)
Flat neighbourhood + lift-access accommodation + a park nearby beats any amount of “central” with a stroller.
📍 Ueno / Asakusa
Older, calmer, next to Ueno Zoo + museums + Senso-ji. Easier for a slower first-trip-to-Tokyo pace.
