Kanagawa with a baby (0–1) 3 spots
Kanagawa is where Japan's first railway arrived in 1872, in the port city of Yokohama. A monument and a preserved steam locomotive sit free to see by Sakuragicho Station, and the harbor Ferris wheel and one of the world's largest Chinatowns are all within a walk. It suits train-loving kids and families who like eating as they go.

It is fully indoors, and the museum sets no age limit and no time limit, so a baby can come in. The shop, food, and restaurant floor on the 1st floor needs no ticket and strollers can be used there. Character greetings bring Anpanman and his friends out to meet visitors.Admission is charged from age 1, at 2,200 to 2,800 yen. Entry to the 2nd- and 3rd-floor museum needs a date-and-time web ticket bought in advance, on sale from 10:00 twenty-eight days before your visit. Strollers cannot be used inside the 3rd-floor museum, so leave yours in the stroller parking on the 2nd floor (no staff on duty there, so keep your valuables with you). Strollers and baby carriers are not rented, so bring your own. Nursing rooms, diaper changing tables, and hot-water dispensers for formula are on the 1st and 3rd floors, and a microwave for warming baby food is at the Family Station on the 1st floor. Disposable diapers are sold at Anpanman Terrace on the 1st floor and the museum shop on the 2nd, and liquid formula at Anpanman Terrace.
On the second floor, the Animal Room greets you with animal figures based on the artist's cut-paper works. Through the Anywhere Door at the back is the entrance to Exhibition Room II, and you pass through it with the baby in a carrier at your own eye level. On that same floor there is a kids' space beside the nursing room, and since visitors are not cycled out, a nap does not cost you the day: you may stay until the 18:00 closing.Strollers cannot be used inside the museum. If you arrive with one, it is held at the museum's stroller parking and you go round in a carrier, which is what the museum recommends for families with small children. There is one nursing room, on the second floor beside the kids' space, with a bench, two diaper-changing tables, a filtered hot-water dispenser and a sink; baby food may be given there. Multipurpose restrooms are on the first and second floors. Children 3 and under are free and need no ticket, but entry is by timed reservation and tickets are not sold at the museum, so buy the adults' tickets in advance. You must arrive within 60 minutes of the time on your ticket, and you cannot go in earlier than it. There is no re-entry and no parking lot.
The Yokohama Port Museum has ramps and a lift, so you can see the displays with the stroller, and three loaner strollers wait at the information desk. For Nippon Maru itself, strollers are left at the entrance, so you board with the baby in your arms, and on deck you look up at a mast standing 46 meters above the water.Diaper changing tables are in the barrier-free restroom and in front of the women's restroom on the museum's first floor, and inside the women's restroom on the basement exhibition floor. For nursing there is a space next to the general information desk, so speak to the staff there. Eating and drinking are not allowed on board. There is no visitor parking, only one accessible space arranged in advance on 045-221-0280, so come by public transport or use a nearby paid car park.
