Traveling with a child always comes with anxiety.
Whenever I am at home, I am always busy with child care, and I just realized 2020 is about to end. I am aware that looking after a child is a very important role, but sometimes I want to just take a break and relax. I wish I could go somewhere even for a few days. However, the restroom problem gets me worried. Accessible restrooms are installed in major stations of Tokyo, and I can change my child’s diapers there. But what if it is at the place where I have never been before. Considering this factor when I choose a tourist spot to visit is very natural. Is there any food that my child can eat? That is another factor that worries me. If it is not available, I need to pack all of the food my child can eat in a backpack. But I don’t want to go to the common restaurants that are available around the Tokyo area or it will be less fun. And how about the lodging facilities? Can my child sleep there safely? And soundly? If there is only a twin bed for adults, then a child could fall from the bed. But monitoring my child for the entire night is reckless. Having a baby bed could mean “safe”, but that does not mean a child could sleep with an easy mind. If a child oneself is not relieved, parents need to take care of a child without sleep. That completely ruins the purpose of the trip. Nagoya, where you can get there around an hour and 35 minutes by bullet train, can easily fulfill the desire of “I wish I could go somewhere”. That short period of time will not make a child bored. And it is a local “city”, so you will not have a restroom problem. The lodging facility where we stayed is called “& SHARE Nakamura Park”. This place has a great fancy atmosphere which makes you feel like you are at home. It is 4 stations away from Nagoya station on the subway, so it was very convenient since we were carrying many bags and luggage. This hotel has both beds and a futon. So we decided to use a futon to sleep. By using futon, I was very relieved since there was no risk of my child falling, and I could sleep right next to my child. A lock is installed on the door, so my child could not leave the room alone. Thank you to this child-friendly hotel, we were able to go to the Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium with so much excitement.
