Asakusa with a baby (0–1) 3 spots
Asakusa is the temple town of Sensoji, the oldest temple in Tokyo. One straight, flat lane of shops runs from the Kaminarimon gate, easy to cover with a stroller. It suits families who want short walks and street food.
A small amusement park, a flower garden in 1853, that calls itself Japan's oldest.

A set list of rides takes children from age 0: the merry-go-round horses, carriage and pony, the Swan, the Sky Ship, the Thriller Car, the Chibikko Taxi, Panorama Time Travel and the haunted house, each ridden together with an accompanying adult. The official attraction page has a filter for rides that 0-to-1-year-olds can board.Every one of these rides needs an accompanying adult, and on the Sky Ship a 0-to-1-year-old needs one adult to themselves. No strollers are lent out; a stroller you bring can be left folded at the Information counter. There are two nursing spaces with three rooms in total (one in the 3F kids space, two in front of Marion Crepe, and those two are for women only), and seven diaper changing tables in the park. Diapers are sold from a vending machine in the 3F kids space, but formula is not sold, so bring your own; hot water for making it is available at Information.
Much of what there is to see is overhead. The great lantern at Kaminarimon is 3.9 m tall, 3.3 m wide and 700 kg, and standing directly beneath it you can see the dragon carved into its base. The outer hall of the main hall rises about 10 m to a ceiling carrying three large paintings, Kawabata Ryushi's Dragon at the centre and Domoto Insho's Heavenly Beings and Scattering Flowers on either side, which the temple asks visitors to look up at, and a baby in your arms reaches them just by looking up.There is no nursing room in the temple grounds. The nearest is the 2nd floor of the Taito City Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center, directly in front of Kaminarimon, with two nursing spaces you can close the door on, a formula water dispenser and a diaper changing bed (9:00-20:00). Inside the grounds, diaper changing sheets are in the two multipurpose toilets, to the right of Hozomon and at the back behind the main hall, each also fitted with wheelchair handrails and a baby chair. No strollers are lent in the grounds; the same Center lends five at the 1F information counter (from 1 month to 4 years, up to 18 kg, 9:00-19:30). The grounds are largely flat, and the temple says it is flat and that work on removing steps continues, but the main hall has stairs at the front, so head around to the lift on the left as you face it, the west side.
On the 1st floor there are three raised tatami tables, each seating up to four, where you take your shoes off. A baby too small for a chair can be down on the tatami at the same table as everyone else.Parties that include a child under junior-high age are seated on the 1st floor (the 2nd-floor private and special rooms and the 3rd-floor banquet hall do not accept guests with children under junior-high age). Reservations are taken by phone (03-3841-1114), but not for the lunch menu. Bento to take away is served 11:30-19:30 and takes about 15 minutes because it is made to order (Kuroge Wagyu Hyakunen Gyudon Bento, 2,160 yen). The restaurant has no parking of its own; it is right next to Exit A2 of Asakusa Station on the Tsukuba Express.
