What kind of facility is it?

“The Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center” is a tourist information facility in Asakusa that can be used by anyone.

Where can I rent a stroller?

Strollers can be rented at the “Information Counter” located to the left of the entrance.

Tell the information desk attendant, “I’m here to rent a baby stroller.” and you’re good to go!

Can anyone borrow?

Yes, anyone can borrow.

Of course, non-Japanese are also welcome.

However, there are certain things you will need in order to borrow.

What do I need to rent?

All you need is proof of identity.

What you need

  • Identification papers
    • Passport, etc.

Remember to pack it in your carry-on luggage when you leave, as you cannot borrow it without identification!

Once your Identification papers has been verified, you will be given a stroller rental form, which you can successfully complete once you have filled it out.

Is there no usage fee?

The facility is operated by Taito City and can be rented free of charge.

What kind of strollers can I rent?

You can rent a stroller made by Combi that can be used from 1 month old to 4 years old (weighing 18 kg).

It can be fully reclined and has a guard to support the neck, so it is safe even for small babies.

It also has a mesh top that allows you to check on your child while shading him or her from the sun.

There is also a large basket under the seat.

Can I make a reservation?

They have no rental reservations.

There are a total of 5 strollers, but unfortunately we cannot rent them if they are all rented.

Can I borrow at any time?

They may not be available for rent on rainy or windy days, or on days when there are events such as the Sanja Festival.

So, if you have an event on the day you want to rent, you should inquire in advance.

Please note that you need to return the rental equipment by 19:00 on the day you borrow it at the latest, so if you want to borrow it until the next day, you need to return it once and go back the next day to borrow it again.

Summary

Keep the following three points in mind

What to watch out for

  • Take identification with you.
  • Return by 7:00 p.m. on the day of borrowing
  • Some days, such as rainy days or days with events, are not available for rent.

Is there anything else we can do?

The “Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center” has a baby room, a place to sit and rest, an observation deck, and other facilities that are helpful for sightseeing with children.

Access

The route to the Asakusa Culture and Tourism Center, which I “Monaka” actually confirmed by pushing a stroller, is shown in this article.

Summary

This time, we introduced “Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center” as a spot where strollers can be rented in Asakusa.

This facility has facilities that are helpful for sightseeing with children, but it is actually a hole-in-the-wall spot that is not so crowded.

The restaurant is located right in front of the “Kaminarimon gate”, making it easy to get to, so be sure to take a break and visit!

It is highly recommended as a place to take a break!

I will continue to write about sightseeing in Asakusa!
