TabiTots — vetted, verified places to spend a few hours with your kids in Japan, or hand them off for a few hours to yourself. Travelling in Japan with kids? Some experiences just aren't for small children — a multi-course omakase, an onsen, a movie in a theatre. Other times you'd rather be in the room. TabiTots lets you book time with a vetted local provider — a real school, kindergarten, preschool, licensed childcare program, or activity studio — and choose how close you stay: drop off, stay and watch, or join in yourself. Your child gets a genuine Japan experience with local kids, on your terms. Built by an ex-Google engineer and a UX designer — a couple raising our own child in Japan, building the app we wished existed. REAL PLACES, REALLY VETTED Every provider is a registered school or facility with certified staff and ratios set by Japanese authorities — the same places local families use, now bookable by the visit. Before a provider can take a single booking, we check entity registration, an independent third-party document (inspection, accreditation, or liability insurance), and a signed safety declaration. MORE THAN A DROP-OFF Many partners run real programs — abacus, karate, ballet, piano — alongside English-medium preschool and afterschool care, a full international-school day, seasonal camps, and simple supervised free play. Some lead in English, many run in Japanese alongside local kids — either way, children settle in fast, often within the first morning. DROP OFF, STAY, OR JOIN IN Your call, booking by booking: • Drop off and enjoy your time. • Stay and watch nearby. • Join in and take part alongside your child. VERIFIED, END TO END • Every parent and pickup carer is identity-verified — government ID plus a live selfie — before a booking goes live. • At pickup, staff match the carer against their verified photo before handing your child over. BOOKING THAT FITS A TRIP • Browse by city, date, and your child's age — real availability, day by day. • Book one day or any mix of days, with times set per day. • Join a waitlist when a day is full. • Pay the provider's published rate by card — one all-in price, no booking fee from TabiTots. • Free cancellation up to each provider's cutoff — at least 24 hours before drop-off. BUILT FOR FAMILIES • Add every child, with shared emergency contacts and per-child health details (allergies, vaccinations, and more) so staff know what they need before the day starts. • Invite a verified carer — a partner, grandparent, or trusted friend — for drop-off or pickup. • Instant notifications at drop-off and pickup, with the exact handover time. • Message our team in-app anytime for questions, changes, or anything urgent. LANGUAGES Available in English and Japanese. Now with partners in Tokyo, Chiba, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Hokkaido, Yamanashi, Nagano, Ishikawa, and Okinawa — and more joining across Japan. Download TabiTots and give your kids a day they'll talk about all trip. And give yourself one too.
