I’m Yuka, a mom of two little ones living in Osaka, Japan. On Mama knows Japan, I share what I’ve learned from Japanese parenting culture — everyday wisdom, baby food ideas, and small, clever goods that make life with babies and toddlers a little easier. This blog is for moms raising little ones in Japan, and for moms everywhere who want to bring a piece of Japanese parenting wisdom into their own homes.
Here you’ll find four kinds of posts: Goods, Food, Wisdom, and Life. Each one is practical, honest, and based on real life with small children — the things that actually worked in our home, not just the things that look nice in a photo.
Whether you are living abroad, planning a move, or simply curious about how families in Japan do things, I hope this blog makes your days a little calmer and a little easier. Welcome — and thank you for reading.
