Dining with Infants and Children at Japan's Fine Dining Restaurants
When traveling to Japan with family, you may want to enjoy a meal at a high-end restaurant, but with young children in tow, it can feel like your options are limited. Finding restaurants that are welcoming to children can be a challenge.
In Japan’s fine dining scene, the acceptance of young children or infants varies by restaurant. Surprisingly, many establishments do allow children under 12 or even infants. Some restaurants offer private rooms or only allow children during lunch hours, while others are stroller-friendly or require prior consultation when making a reservation.
This article, presented by OMAKASE, the official online partner of the Michelin Guide in Japan, features kid-friendly Michelin restaurants in Tokyo.
Tip: When making a reservation, be sure to book not only the table but also your preferred course or dishes to ensure a smoother dining experience.If you are bringing small children, please mention it in the Special Requests section at the time of booking.

Ali Hsieh5.0Posted on :04/06/2025We came here for a gathering, and the food was absolutely fantastic—definitely deserving of one Michelin star or more! One of the best parts was how light and veggie-forward the dishes were, which was perfect after a long day of traveling around Tokyo (and snacking along the way).
The owner was incredibly friendly toward us as Taiwanese visitors and could even speak a bit of Taiwanese, which made us feel right at home. The staff, dressed in traditional Japanese kimonos, were very welcoming and provided warm, attentive service.
We were seated in a room with a beautiful view of a traditional Japanese garden, which made the meal even more special. Moreover, a raccoon even paid a surprise visit to the garden during our dinner!
It was truly a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely come back again!

Kevin Preuss4.8Posted on :03/16/2025We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Nogizaka Shin. The ambience, food, and service were superb. The chef and his staff obviously take great (and justifiable) pride in their restaurant. The meal was beautiful and delicious. The chef and sommelier accompanied us to the door and wished us well as we departed.
The restaurant was a little difficult to find because they have no prominent sign to mark the entrance though staff quickly noted we were nearby and welcomed us. -
Francois4.7Posted on :01/10/2025Fabulous dinner all around. Impeccable service, and a stunning wine list. They even provide napkins, which is unusual in Japan. We are definitely coming back on our next trip to Tokyo. A phenomenal experience, and well worth the high price!
