  • Family Facilities: COREDO buildings offer stroller rental, nursing and diaper rooms.
  • Interactive Learning: Kids touch food demos and wear traditional clothing.

Challenges:

  • Weekend Crowds: Nihonbashi can be busy on Saturdays and Sundays.
  • Advance Booking: Pokémon Café and workshops fill up; reserve early.
  • Limited Shade: Bridge area has little cover; bring hats in summer.
