Familiar and Miki House are brands - they have a handful of stores, but in the end they`re a brand name.

Look for Hello Akachan, Akachan Honpo, and Nishimatsuya. There are probably a few more I`m forgetting, but those are the major chains.

Also, do you find that many areas are baby friendly? Are there places to change baby's diaper and feed? Are there elevators and ramps for strollers? What should I be aware of when traveling with my baby?
In general, I think that most places are quite baby friendly. There are changing rooms and breastfeeding rooms, etc. There is also nothing against breastfeeding your baby in public.
Elevators are quite common, but I can`t say I`ve seen ramps for strollers. If you are bringing a stroller along it might be a very tight fit into some places, as it seems the standard width of a Japanese stroller is quite a bit less than that of a foreign one.
There are also usually large padded play areas in any decent sized shop... And the baby department in a regular department store will also have a good selection.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
