Childcare and Family Life around Kamiyacho
Map & surroundings
Although Kamiyacho is strongly associated with large office developments, Toranomon, Azabudai and Atago also contain residential buildings and support a family population. Minato City publishes information and application procedures for licensed nursery schools, certified childcare centers, municipal kindergartens and private kindergartens. Availability can change during the school year, so families should check current vacancies before committing to a home. For 2026, Minato City also continues to publish its Kodomo 110 emergency-support maps by elementary-school zone, including the Onarimon Gakuen Onarimon Elementary School district covering Toranomon. Outdoor options include landscaped areas within Azabudai Hills, the Atagoyama area and Shiba Park. However, major roads, office-oriented streets and steep slopes are common, so parents using strollers should inspect actual routes, pavement widths, crossings and elevator access rather than relying solely on walking-distance figures. The direct connection between Kamiyacho Station Exit 5 and Azabudai Hills is particularly practical for families during rain or when traveling with small children.
