Childcare and Family Life

The area immediately around Akasaka-mitsuke Station is dominated by commercial, dining and office uses rather than conventional residential streets. More residential environments appear as the walking area expands into parts of Akasaka 4-, 7- and 8-chome. Minato City provides searchable information on childcare facilities through services such as Kokode Search and also operates or supports temporary childcare, Appy parenting spaces, Minato childcare support, after-school programs and school clubs. Nursery availability varies by date, age and address, so families should check current application and vacancy information when choosing housing. Hitotsugi Park in Akasaka 5-chome is one nearby place for children to play. For homes close to nightlife streets, visiting the route in the evening can help assess noise, pedestrian activity and everyday routes to nursery or school.
