Yokohama with Kids — Family Guide to Spots, Events, Nursing Rooms & Strollers

Before you go

Nursing rooms & diaper changing are everywhere in Japanese malls, big stations and museums — look for signs saying 授乳室 (nursing room) or ベビー休憩室 / 赤ちゃん休憩室 (baby room). Many have hot water for formula and a microwave.
Strollers: stations have elevators, but in Minato Mirai the walkways and malls are the easiest. Some malls lend strollers for free or for a small coin deposit.
Cash: cards and IC cards (Suica, PASMO) work widely, but small rides and some ticket machines are cash only — carry some coins.
Kids' menus: look for お子様メニュー or キッズメニュー. Family restaurants and food courts are the easiest with small kids.
Under-6s are often free: many zoos and museums here are free for preschoolers. Nogeyama Zoo is free for everyone.
Hours change: many places close one weekday a week and over New Year (around Dec 29 – Jan 3). Check the official link before you go.
