What makes it 63% Baby-Friendly: Flat, covered path suits strollers, yet many shops are narrow and the street has no nursing or diaper rooms, so caregivers must detour to nearby department stores for baby care.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Enough time to stroll the full arcade, visit a baby room, and enjoy snacks without rushing.
Stroll the covered arcade:
Walk the roofed, level walkway through all seven chōme
Tip: Use a compact stroller; the path stays dry in rain or snow.
Use Le Trois Family Rest Zone:
Visit the 7F Family Rest Zone for nursing and diaper changes
Tip: Borrow a free stroller at the 1F entrance if yours is too large.
Enjoy gelato at La Giostra:
Try kid-friendly gelato flavors in 7-chōme
Tip: Order single scoops in a cup for easy handling with a baby.

It’s a great way to explore and stumble upon all sorts of little ...

Great spot for a rainy day in Sapporo! Tanukikoji Shopping Street is fully covered, making it easy to stroll through regardless of the weather. There’s a wide variety of shops and restaurants, from local eats to quirky stores and a Mega Don Quijote’s. One of the highlights is an older section of the arcade that has a more nostalgic feel — including a fun vintage clothing shop that’s definitely wo...

How could I have possibly overlooked this gem in my itinerary planning? This street is truly fascinating! I was particularly surprised and delighted to find a Singaporean shop, Kura Kura nestled amongst the diverse offerings here. Vintage enthusiasts will be in heaven with the abundance of vintage stores starting with 2 separate units of 2nd Street, and the presence of Komeda's Coffee is a welcome...
In winter, the arcade stays clear of snow but can be chilly at open ends; dress baby in warm layers. In summer, the glass roof traps heat; visit early or late when it’s cooler.
