Seikatei (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Seikatei?
What makes it 30% Baby-Friendly: Babies are not banned, but narrow doorways, tatami floors, single basic toilet, and absence of stroller access or diaper tables make visits awkward; using a carrier and planning nearby changes is essential.
Positives:
- Quiet and spacious: Low visitor numbers let you explore at your own pace with the baby.
- Free admission: No entry fee leaves budget for snacks and necessary baby items.
Challenges:
- No stroller access: Doorways and floors are narrow and uneven, so you must use a carrier.
- Lack of baby facilities: No diaper-changing table or nursing room inside Seikatei.
