so i wasn't planning on doing this video at this time but i wanted to spend some time with my son today wolfie and several the viewers have asked me about this video so here we are for all of you travelers i'm going to show you my personal tips on how you can bring your kid or your baby to a japanese restaurant but like always if you guys want to see what i'm doing on the daily check out my instagram account if you want to help support the channel check out the japan merch and if you have any questions about japan or japan travels then check out my discord community let's get wolfie now and let me show you my tips if you're traveling to japan with kids dining out could be a little bit intimidating when you don't know what to expect to be completely honest it's still tricky for us too even though i've lived in japan for many years since it's different from restaurant to restaurant today though i'll share with you what i've learned during the last year and a half with my baby boy i'm sure some of these tips i mentioned are common knowledge worldwide but since i'm not familiar with the standard in other countries i'll simply share the specifics about japan and you can let me know how it compares to your country so today we're doing a video at a japanese family restaurant which is reasonably kids friendly but these tips will apply to most restaurants in japan oh damn i should start by telling you that tokyo and many of the other larger cities are not the most kid-friendly places in terms of stroller access as many of the restaurants are tightly packed and only accessible by stairs the first thing that you need to know when coming to a japanese restaurant is that the strollers are sometimes accepted and you can actually bring them to the table but a lot of restaurants are a little bit smaller so you won't be able to bring the stroller in so before you're seated make sure to ask what you should do about your stroller same thing goes for baby chairs some restaurants offer it but many don't so you'll need to ask at the front if you do know before and that you're going to a specific restaurant you can check online to see what they offer and if you can't read the japanese you can always try google translate but it will depend on the restaurant whether they have kids related info or not since a lot of the places make you check the stroller in we usually pack things that we often use at the table separately in smaller bags the seating will be smooth without making other people wait we usually have two bags one is a diaper bag while the other has everything else this is what's inside instant bento box fruit pack juice pack utensils toys alcohol wipes and non-alcohol wipes also don't forget to bring some toys to entertain them i often just use my phone to let them watch netflix or youtube while i eat my food i find that carrying a little stand for the phone is also useful ozaski style seating is also available in japan a common style of seating where you sit on the floor at a low table since you don't need to worry about chairs and parents can sit with their children it's often preferred by many japanese
