baby class topic
港区・渋谷区の不動産売買物件なら"プレシャスライフ"Let me write about ‘baby class topic’ continues from last week.As I say many times, it can be said that you can CHOOSE anything in Minato, and it means you have to have a good selection ability to live in Minato.I have written about Keio line weeks ago. I used it without any wonder because there was no other choice than Keio line. However, if I go to Hiroo from Azabu-jyuban, I have to choose one way from three.1) Get on Oedo line to Roppongi, change to Hibiya line and go to Hiroo2) Take taxi because it will be just 10 minutes drive3) Just walk to the destination for my diet----choice, choice, and choice, as baby class.Firstly I wondered that is there any difference between ‘costly baby class for 2 years old son’ and ‘free and friendly neighbor Jidokan(public space for kids)’. Next I compared with school A ( it is close from my house but they do not have outdoor time) and school B (it is reasonable but its facilities are older) and school C, D, etc. Finally after Michi’s some trial lesson, I could finish my ‘choice’ for him.Tired of these things, I thought it might as well betterif there is only one baby school in this area like there is only one delicious cake shop in my hometown. Still I decided to let my son go to one school because I thought to use the merit of this area in bringing up Michi.Honestly I just started thinking of baby class because other mothers were enthusiastic in this topic.However now I could choose one for him, and he goes to there once a week, looks so happy with class and teachers.Why and what for do I choose?This is what I think every day even after deciding Michi’s class.room search Shibuya-ku・Minato-ku Highgrade Apartment Realestate"ALIVE"Inquiry

EDUCATION
港区・渋谷区の不動産売買物件なら"プレシャスライフ"One theme which gradually comes up in your mindwhen your child graduate from ‘night cry’ and play around all day,also the theme you have to struggle with for such a long time----is ‘EDUCATION’!Michi, just become 2 years old has experienced ‘baby swim’ ‘music’ and ‘gym’.However, these are hobbies and not education. Educations for kids should be something that parents choose teachers or schools for your baby, imaging ‘My baby should be grow up like this’ etc.This baby class topic came up in our conversation from last autumn. At first I ‘enjoyed’ it but gradually I found out thatthere are so many schools in this area, and I guess thatit is because the number of children has decreased these years. There are interesting titles like ‘Your child get absolute pitch’‘Your child will pass to famous private kindergarten’and 2 or 3 years old fighters come together. Unlike me, who spent ‘feel easy’ days until entering junior high, mothers who grew up in this area are heat up for education to their babies.For example,there are a variety of gym classes,from ‘handmade’ class by mothers (costs \2.500/month) to professional school, which teaches for exams of private primaries (costs \40000/month). My michi also started going to baby class from this April. I chose one that they take care Michi for 1 hour (Michi is separated from me) and they look after him very well. I am still not sure about how he changes into by this class.It is enjoyable to choose one from many cake shops or restaurants but it is difficult when you choose a school for your baby.Because you have to keep in mind the balance of money, and your spirit.To be continued……..room search Shibuya-ku・Minato-ku Highgrade Apartment Realestate"ALIVE"Inquiry

We had mothers’ party at ‘Bar SAKURAZUKI’ on last Friday.
港区・渋谷区の不動産売買物件なら"プレシャスライフ"DetailsWe can charter hole bar from 4pm to 7pm, and meals are ・ today’s ham ・ seizer salad with smoked chicken・ original spinach pasta with tripper・ grapes and cream cheese・ herb sausage and garlic toast for children・ Free drink like beer, wine, liquor etc.It is just \5000 for all!!!I can not say that it is wide enough, but there is a baby circle and some toys, they play Disney animations or other TV program on big screen. Happy time!!We chat on wines and there was a variety topics from our children and their future.This time I was interested in when someone said ‘For primary schools in Minato,there will be lawyers for compliments from parents’. It says that they divide Minato into 5 areas and one lawyer takes care of one area, means he follows up schools with educational committee.These days there are requests and compliments from parents and some of them are crazy and selfish like ‘You should separate my kid from A (student)because they can’t be friends each other since they went to kindergarten. ’Teachers can not persuade parents any more and they will ask professional lawyers to do for them.I remember Minato is famous for ‘free school district’ system and students can choose their primary school. This new ‘lawyer system’ was set not because parents of this area have a lot of compliments but for ‘preventive measure for in case’.However, don’t you think that our ‘compliment society’ has been to wrong way?I don’t say the old days when teachers, their existence itself were absolute power was good time, but I only see ‘contractive’ relationship between students,their parents, and teachers. Michi, my son, is now watching Disney Mickey now but days for us- wondering for relationships with teachers, friends, and parents, might come so quickly.room search Shibuya-ku・Minato-ku Highgrade Apartment Realestate"ALIVE"Inquiry

‘Ｎever give up!’ mothers in Minato
港区・渋谷区の不動産売買物件なら"プレシャスライフ"I enjoyed lunch with 4 couples (mother + child) on the other day.We are ‘Aiiku team’ for our maternity hospital and we knew each other in its mother class 3 years ago.We have to choose restaurants carefully these days because our 2-year-old naughty children move around, scream during lunchtime.Our conditions are below.1. It has a private room.2. Charge of the room is free.3. We can drink beer at lunch.4. Of course they have delicious foods!There are some Chinese restaurants match our conditions and this time we found a perfect one, ‘Kongo-Hanten’ Diamond Hotel in Hanzomon. They give a hand towel and cookies to each children and 120% customer service. It is definitely my recommended restaurant even it is not located in Minato.(Especially fried noodles taste wonderful!!)I am the youngest in the team but other mothers are so stimulus because they are perfectly ‘beautiful’ from top of a head to the top of a toe whenever we meet. They all never give up anything because they are with a child.However, it should be true that we need some ‘circumstances’ even how we try to brush up ourselves. Here is my experienced ‘children are welcomed, brush up spots’.1.‘Hands On’ Minami-Aoyama(nail salon) They play with your child in the same room and you do not worry about child while you put jell nail for 2 hours. My Michi was so happy with a cute staff and she put mini seals on his nails!2. ‘Sulir’ Ebisu(hair salon)They have a small private room with TV and your child can wait with watching a favorite DVD. Its eye blow perm last for 3 months(\3000). There are also head spa, nail courses. Michi was happy with ‘Finding Nimo’.3. ‘Azabu Studio’(yoga) It has variety of classes of hot yoga, maternity yoga etc. We can ask ‘Ichigo nanny room’ our children during a class. They take children to ‘Ajiro Park’ next to the studio. Of course Michi was so happy with many play equipments.4. ‘Bar Sakurazuki’ ShirokaneThis bar is famous for big variety of ham and actually its master is very handsome! There is a chartered plan called ‘Sakurazuki mama club’ for mothers and children(more than 3 couples) from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. There is a changing bed in rest room, baby circle in the floor, and we can see Disney animation or TV program on the big screen. We say their service is ‘holy one’. Of course we enjoy hams and pasta, the price is only \5000 each!I will introduce other places in other chances.By the way, I think that there are many ‘choices’ in this area. Restaurants, beauty salons, hospitals, schools, and shopping-----It is sometimes hard to choose something but it is also natural that they ‘brush up’ in each trades and it leads their high level and originalities.Some of them say children are welcomed but others will say the opposite.It was fun to go restaurants I found in magazines.However, now I find small happiness in walking with my family in Minato, finding our favorite spots from many restaurants. I suppose it is important to keep an idea ‘to find something suits for me with a child’ and you can find it in Minato. room search Shibuya-ku・Minato-ku Highgrade Apartment Realestate"ALIVE"Inquiry

Public transport in Minato
港区・渋谷区の不動産売買物件なら"プレシャスライフ"XX July 2007年I met ‘morning commuters rush’ in trains at 9 o’clock in weekday after a long time.I entered a girls junior high school and for 17 years- since 12 years old until I married- my life was inseparable from commuters and students ‘hell’ rush hour.I thought it is a matter of course to take more than an hour to go my destinations by Keio Line after using a bus from my home to the nearest station. Nothing starts until I go to the nearest station and door of the world does not open until I get on Keio Line!This is the only lifeline to midtown of Tokyo.However, my life changed dramatically after I moved in Minato, located inside of Yamanote Line.My vector, simply run toward east by Keio Line, expands to front and behind, right and left. Sometimes I can go to destinations by bike and walk, means they are close from my home.In ‘ALIVE’ the real estate company I work, I hear Azabu and Shirokane are popular areas to customers who look for a house in Minato but Mita (my area) and Shiba are not so popular for them. It is true that there are many companies in Mita area and a huge building of NEC is symbolic. It has some cold atmosphere without quiet residential streets. Still, I want to promote this area with its convenient transportation net!There are 5 lines 4 stations if you ask me ‘Where is your nearest staion?’Akabane- bashi (Oedo Line), Tamachi (JR Line), Mita (Asakusa Line/ Mita Line),Azabu-jyuban(Namboku Line). The office of my husband Ken changed from Otemachi to Shibuya, but it takes just 30 minutes to both stations from home. Normally we do not have to change trains wherever we go.For example, Having sushi dinner in Tsukiji? Just 12 minutes from Akabane-bashi.Watching movie in Uraku-cyo? Just 10 minutes from Tamachi.To Tokyo Disney Land with kids? Just 30 minutes from Tamachi, through Tokyo.We use Asakusa Line to Higashi-Ginza, Tokaido Line to Yokohama and Keikyu Line to Haneda Airport from Shinagawa. Do you know more convenient place in Tokyo?We can not find any reason to buy a car when we see crazy gas price. (Actually we can not pay parking fee---)Anyway, this is the real ‘center of Tokyo’, and I recommend Mita area to anyone who wants to find a house in Minato!room search Shibuya-ku・Minato-ku Highgrade Apartment Realestate"ALIVE"Inquiry

Parks in Minato
港区・渋谷区の不動産売買物件なら"プレシャスライフ"You can not grow a child without parks--especially a child like my Michi, a perfect outdoors type and turns into bad mood if he stays at home whole day (same as a puppy!!).I did not expect to find many parks in Minato, a central area in Tokyo until I move in.There are Shiba Park, Arisugawa Park, Robot Park in neighborhood.In Shiba Park, there is a secret garden of Park Tower Tokyo which is suitable for children and puppies. You hardly see people in daytime, sunbeam pours it, there is no traffic, and many flowers like roses and pansy are blossom.Week ago I burst out laughing to find an article in ‘VERY’ (woman magazine ).It featured ‘main current fashion in Arisugawa Park’ and said ‘you can only find mothers with skirts and they don’t wear jeans because they try to be well mannered in Arisugawa’.----Really? I have never found a mother with skirts in this park before, and I just found it’s unique strategy to specialize this area- Hiroo and Shirokane- as a posh town.However, there may some reasons why ‘Arisugawa Park’ is ‘special’.a) You find many foreign families and Philippines nannies b) You find many ‘Maclaren’ strollers (about \40.000 each)c) You find a mysterious group titled ‘Lets make your children play in Arisugawa’I am not so brave to make a park into a salon, and take Michi many places on each day.Just when we about to get into a groove these days, a new park in Tokyo Midtown ‘Hinokicyo Prak’ with wide lawn area won Michi’s heart and mind. There are well designed playing equipments and slide and swing seem to be expensive than others (see photos). Michi became crazy for a unique slide with other school children, but I suddenly recognized that they wear ‘Ralph Lauren’ shirt and trousers.Ralph for play suits! You have to pay more than \10.000 if you buy child wear in Ralph Lauren shop. In my family, they should be gift from grandparents!Michi looked like a ‘stout guy’ with \900 pants from Nishimatsu-ya.(reasonable baby goods store)Humm. I should have a look at ‘children current fashion in Arisgawa Prak’ next time. room search Shibuya-ku・Minato-ku Highgrade Apartment Realestate"ALIVE"Inquiry
