Tokushima with a baby (0–1) 3 spots
Tokushima is mountains dropping into a fast strait. Whirlpools spin under the Naruto bridge and you look down at them through a glass floor, and in August the Awa Odori dance is open to anyone who wants to join in.

The walkway runs 450 m inside the girders of the Onaruto Bridge to a loop-shaped observation room. Hold the baby over one of the glass panels in the floor and the Naruto Strait is straight below, 45 m down. Six strollers are lent free of charge (along with six wheelchairs and four walking carts), and because the observation room is a loop you circle round and come back without turning in a dead end.Both Uzu no Michi and the Eddy museum have a nursing space and a baby changing seat; tell a staff member and they let you use it. The slope between the two is steep, so each keeps three power-assisted walkers on hand. The coin lockers are free and stay usable until closing. Children under 6 get in free.
A stroller can be borrowed free, for ages one month to 48 months, from the information desk on level B3; it can be reserved in advance and numbers are limited. Every work is a full-size ceramic reproduction, so photography is allowed and you can be photographed holding your baby in front of a masterpiece.Ask at the B3 information desk to use the nursing room. Diaper changes happen not there but at the changing tables in the multipurpose Anyone Can Use toilets on every floor. There is no elevator at the main entrance: the galleries start at the top of a 41-meter escalator, and a stroller must be folded and carried on it, so the child goes into your arms. Baby food may be brought in only when someone in your party orders from the restaurant or cafe menu.
The second-floor Awa Odori Hall is a 250-seat hall built for watching the dance, and a baby takes in the drums and the dancing from a lap. On the third floor, the Awa Odori Museum lines up the instruments of past and present, and the drums can be beaten for real.At the back of the fourth floor there is a simple nursing space that locks, and hot water for formula comes from the pantry space on the same floor. Diaper changing is possible in the multipurpose restrooms on every floor; the accessible restroom has a baby shelf. The entrance is an automatic door 90 cm or wider with no step, and there is an elevator. The daytime show runs four times a day — 11:00, 14:00, 15:00 and 16:00 — for 40 minutes each, so you can pick the slot that suits.
