Funamizaka (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Funamizaka?
What makes it 30% Baby-Friendly: Babies must be carried; the steep, sometimes icy path hinders strollers, and the hill offers zero diaper tables, nursing rooms, or warm shelters, so parents face discomfort and should consider skipping.
Positives:
- Quiet atmosphere: The slope is away from crowds, letting you enjoy family time without noise.
- Scenic bay views: You can see Ishikari Bay from the hilltop for a relaxing backdrop.
- Film connection: Your family can reenact a scene from 'Love Letter' for a memorable photo.
Challenges:
- No baby facilities: There are no restrooms or changing tables on the slope; plan ahead at Otaru Station.
- Steep sections: Parts of the path are steep; carry your baby in a secure front carrier.
- Icy in winter: Snow and ice can make the path slippery; use boots with good grip.
