Tokyo
Tokyo is an active, diverse branch of families from all over the globe!
Some of our favorite events are picnics in parks, garden strolls and exploring shrines and temples. A stroll in Meiji Shrine in Harajuku was our very first event!
Tokyo is home to many adventure (mud!) parks — at-your-own-risk play areas where children can get creative and try all kinds of activities – woodwork, climbing trees, roasting marshmallows over a fire … HiB Tokyo Branch kids LOVE to play freely these parks and will play happily for hours.
Of course, we also get out on the trails! Mt Takao is a popular hike – easily accessible from Shinjuku with multiple trails to choose from. But we also like to explore less-popular trails and our Facebook group has lots of photo albums of our adventures.
We hike year-round and enjoy watching the seasons change in this beautiful country; hanami picnics under the spring cherry blossoms, humid summers splashing in rivers, hiking trails covered in autumn maples and wandering through winter night illuminations – there is always something to discover!
Whether you are new to Tokyo or a long-term resident, Hike it Baby Tokyo will help you get out with your kids in a safe and supported way. Come get outside with us and let’s turn raising our children in Tokyo into an adventure!
