How to Travel Japan with a Baby (Updated 2025)

"I came across Matsumoto Kiyoshi more than any other drugstore while shopping for baby supplies; it’s easy to spot with its brown lettering. Diapers were simple to buy there (weights are clearly displayed in kilograms) and jarred baby food and formula were stocked in the same section—important because diapers, baby food, and formula are sold in drugstores rather than grocery stores. If you need a specialized (non-cow) formula, it may be harder to find, so I brought enough from home, and I used the Google Translate app to scan Kanji on labels to check ingredients and flavors." - Matthew Kepnes
