  • Strollers, Stations & Playgrounds: The Reality of Family Infrastructure around Tokyo

    Strollers, Stations & Playgrounds: The Reality of Family Infrastructure around Tokyo
    2026/04/10

    What changes once you have a baby in Japan?

    In this episode of Matcha Mums, I talk about everyday family infrastructure in the Tokyo area — from navigating trains with a stroller to baby rooms in shopping malls, child-friendly restaurants, and hidden playgrounds across the city.

    I also highlight Kosodate Hiroba (Child-Rearing Support Centers) — free community spaces where parents with young children can meet, play, and get advice from childcare professionals.

    This episode is especially helpful for:

    • New parents in Japan
    • Families who recently moved here
    • Expecting parents wondering what daily life with a baby looks like

    A practical and honest look at getting around Japan with a baby or toddler.

    Getting a Daycare Spot in Japan: Our Hoikuen Experience
    2026/03/27

    How does the childcare system in Japan work? In this episode, I explain the main types of childcare facilities and how parents apply for daycare. I walk through the differences between Hoikuen, Yōchien, and Nintei Kodomoen and private daycare options.

    I also share our personal experience applying for daycare, including the point system, the application timeline, and what daily life in a Japanese daycare looks like.

    What you’ll learn in this episode:

    • An overview of the different day care facilities: private vs. public options
    • How the application process works (and why timing matters)
    • And what daily life inside a Japanese daycare actually looks like
