Mothers with Babies/Children in Tokyo

Hi Wendy,

Our family is also moving to Japan (from Canada) come October. I have a 2.5 year old son and not quite sure where we should reside as yet.  THe office will be in Chiba but I heard there are not many preschools and activities for kids out there.

Anyways, I am also looking to connect with some moms. Any more tips out there?

Hi Girls,

I have been living in tokyo for 3 weeks now and my wife and I are expecting our first son end of november.
I think there is few point that I can answer :

are there any diaper delivery services in tokyo?
Like everywhere you can order online - no problem... but I haven't find any english service yet.. but still you can order from overseas (+cost...)
- are there any toy rental services in tokyo?
I can't understand the question... but we find prams and bed rentals..no problems
- how do I find a playgroup in my neighborhood?
Depends where you will be settled - Tokyo is very large. I am living in Shiroganedai - Azabu-juban like a lot of foreigners.. There is plenty of playgrounds in Tokyo
- where to buy organic baby food in tokyo?
We are originaly from london and after some time we have been able to find organic food. Be carefull coz in some shops the bill can be very salted... Price are very different but so far the best I found was this one : http://www.crayonhouse.co.jp/home/index.html
- where to find children's playgrounds in tokyo?
As from what I saw during the last 3 weeks there is almost 1 for each blocks - check google map .. will amend the post if I find website.
Also there is few big parks like yoyogi parks where you can play with kids on the grass.
Good luck in Tokyo
