Day 1 — Arrival, Ueno Park & Ameya-Yokochō
Morning
- Arrive at your accommodation in Ueno. Settle in, store luggage, and unfold stroller. Many hotels in Ueno offer luggage help and baby supplies on request.
- Walk (or short taxi if tired) to Ueno Park (stroller-friendly paved paths). Visit Shinobazu Pond — relaxed views and rowboats (boarding may be difficult with stroller; enjoy the shore).
Afternoon
- Lunch at a child-friendly restaurant near Ueno Park or at the park cafes. Look for places with high chairs.
- Visit Ueno Zoo (wide paths, elevator access to enclosures). Plan a 1.5–2 hour visit — animals are great for little ones.
Late afternoon / Evening
- Stroll to Ameya-Yokochō (Ameyoko) market for casual souvenir shopping and snacks. Busy but mostly flat — keep stroller close.
- Early dinner at a family-friendly izakaya or ramen place that allows children. Head back to Ueno for rest.
Tips

- Diaper rooms and nursing rooms: Ueno Park and major department stores nearby have baby rooms — check the building maps.
Day 2 — Asakusa, Sumida River & Tokyo Skytree
Morning
- Transit: Take JR Yamanote/Keihin-Tohoku to Kanda/Okachimachi then short walk or take the Ginza Line from Ueno-hirokoji to Asakusa. Aim to arrive early (9:00–10:00) to avoid crowds.
- Visit Senso-ji: approach via Nakamise Shopping Street (crowded; you may prefer the route from the side street if using a stroller). Photos at the Kaminarimon gate and the temple precincts.
Afternoon
- Lunch near Asakusa (many family restaurants). Consider a quick Sumida River cruise from Asakusa to Oshiage (Skytree) — boats have step access; inquire about stroller boarding or fold the stroller if needed.
- Explore Tokyo Skytree Town: Solamachi mall has wide corridors, many kid-friendly shops, nursing rooms, and elevators. Visit the Skytree observation decks if you wish (elevators and stroller-friendly viewing areas).
Evening
- Return to Ueno via subway — short, mostly one-transfer routes. Dinner near Ueno.
Tips
- If planning the river cruise, check boarding rules for strollers and baby carriages; folding the stroller may be required.
- Skytree Solamachi has abundant baby facilities (nursing, diaper stations, stroller rental counters in some seasons).
Day 3 — Odaiba (Seaside, Parks & Malls)
Morning
- Transit: From Ueno, take JR to Tokyo then transfer to the Yurikamome Line at Shimbashi (easier route) — the elevated Yurikamome has level boarding and good views. Alternatively, use Rinkai Line via Osaki.
- Start at Odaiba Seaside Park for a relaxed beachside stroll and open space for the baby.
Afternoon
- Visit Palette Town area or DiverCity Tokyo Plaza (wide, accessible malls with nursing rooms and family restrooms). DiverCity has the full-size Gundam statue — great for photos.
- Lunch in mall food courts (many high chairs and plenty of seating).

Evening

Tips

Departure

General Recommendations & Baby-Friendly Notes
- Pace: keep morning and afternoon blocks short (2–3 hours activities) with 1–2 hour breaks for naps/feeding.

- Baby facilities: major attractions, department stores, and large stations (Ueno, Tokyo, Skytree/Solamachi, DiverCity/Odaiba) offer diaper-changing and nursing rooms.
- Tickets & lines: arrive early for popular spots (Asakusa, Skytree, Odaiba weekend malls) to avoid long queues with a baby.
- Food: convenience stores (konbini) and department store food halls are good for quick baby supplies, formula, and microwaving food.
- Weather: Tokyo seasons vary — check forecast and bring sun/shade for stroller or compact rain cover.
Emergency & Practical Info
- Tokyo emergency number (police/ambulance): 110/119 respectively.
- Pharmacies and international clinics: numerous in central Tokyo—ask the hotel front desk for recommendations.
