Out of the Pickle Jar

A blog where I can embrace over-sharing the logistics behind small business, motherhood, and traveling with kids.

Free Things to Do With Kids in Tokyo

Tokyo Water Science Museum: Great rainy day activity for young kids

Bring a change of clothes for water play. Food isn’t close so pack snacks. We went on a rainy weekend expecting it to be packed but it was super empty! On the same bus line as Ginza, Unicorn Gundam, Minature Museum, Tsukiji Outer Fish Market, TeamLabs Planets. See Google Maps location her e, see overview reel here

Setagaya Park: Best Full Day Park with Kids in Tokyo

A train ride, gorgeous flowers and shrubbery, hedge maze, (manual) go karts with traffic lights, “outdoors” play area with fire pits, wood saws, nails and hammers, mud play— and a direct bus from Shibuya station brings you right outside the park. A fun day ft our kids boba sweatsuit!!! See Google Maps location her e, see overview reel here

Sakurazaka Park: Best place to view cherry blossoms with a playground for kids

Near Roppongi. Colorful slides and beautiful view of cherry blossoms plus nearby Mori Garden and not crowded shopping mall. See Google Maps location here, see reel here

About Kirstie

Hi! I’m Kirstie. I started A Jar of Pickles 10+ years ago, but if you follow me on IG Stories, you know the products are only half the story.

Between managing a business and the constant chaos of raising two tiny humans, my DMs are usually filled with requests for links, traveling recs, and both asking for and giving advice for raising kids.

IG Stories disappear after 24 hours, but my recs (and requests for them) don't, so I here's a space to keep it all in one place!
