Childcare and Family Life

Despite its central location, Shibakoen offers unusually convenient outdoor space for families with young children. Minato City Shibakoen Nursery School is located at 2-7-3 Shibakoen and has an official total capacity of 150 children from ages zero through five. Services include extended childcare, later-evening care, emergency temporary care, community programs for infants and parents, and childcare consultation. Both the city-managed and metropolitan sections of Shiba Park are immediately nearby, and the nursery itself uses the area's natural environment in daily activities. Metropolitan Shiba Park provides broad green areas and seasonal trees and flowers suitable for family walks. At the same time, major roads and busy intersections surround parts of the district, so routes with small children should be checked carefully. Nursery vacancies and admission criteria change by year and application period, and applicants should use the latest Minato City information.
