こどもの城 Children's castle ==>
http://www.kodomono-shiro.jp/index.shtml
６月１８日（土）、毎日エネルギーありあまっている娘を、今度は東京都渋谷区（我が家からの最寄り駅はJR渋谷駅）にある「こどもの城」に夫と連れて行きました。
My husband and I took our baby girl to the Children's Castle in Shibuya. The nearest station to the place for us was JR Shibuya station.
３階にはこんな遊び場もあります。ちなみに、このドラム缶スタイル（？）の滑り台、私は娘を抱えて滑りおりました～
There is a space where kids can participate in different activities on the third floor. Actually, I held my daughter and went down this oil drum style slide
ヨチヨチ歩きの娘のあとを追って、このドラム缶の中に入りかけている赤いシャツの人物...それは夫です。
Here is a picture of my husband who was going inside of the small oil drum to chase our baby
そう、この滑り台の上のドラム缶の中に娘と夫が入っています。ドラム缶の右側にある窓から二人がなんとな～く見えるでしょ
その後、ぐる～っと周り、ドラム缶下の滑り台を二人は滑り降りて来ました。
You can now see, though not clearly, my husband and our baby girl are inside of the oil drum. They are waving to me from the upper right window. After going through, they came down the slide. Daddy, you did a good job following the baby
上記写真で滑り台の後ろにまた別のドラム缶があるの分かりますか？その中を歩いている娘です。まだ、ちっちゃ～いから立ったまま余裕であるけちゃう娘
In the picture above, can you see another oil drum behind the slide? Here is a picture of our baby girl walking inside of that drum. She is short enough to walk through without having to stoop.
パパと一緒に壁にあるゲームで遊ぶ娘。
She enjoyed playing the game on the wall with daddy.
こちらも気に入ったようで、しばらく遊んでいたな～。
She also enjoyed spinning the roulette wheel and did not want to move from here for a while.
あっ、「いっしょに あそぼ～」って誰かきたよ
"Let's play together," said a little girl to her (though it was only in my imagination, haha)
靴をぬいで遊べる場所にもおもちゃが沢山ありました。ちなみに、これは台所でおままごと中の娘。我が家のキッチンには安全を考慮し、娘が入れない様にしっかりゲートがついているので、この日はキッチンで張り切って遊んでいた娘でした
There is a space where kids have to take their shoes off (yes, we take our shoes off in the house in Japan!) and can play with different types of toys on the floor. Here is a picture of our baby girl playing in the toy kitchen. We have a child proof gate set up in the kitchen at home, so she cannot come in, though she always wants to. Thus, she was so excited to be playing in the kitchen space today.
広いスペースでは歩き回る、歩き回る...。パパとママは周りの椅子に座り、娘を見ながら一休み...
She also walked around in this open space. My husband and I sat down on the chairs to take a break while watching her.
別の階では色んな音がでるおもちゃや楽器が置いてあり、自由に遊ぶことができました。
On a different floor, there were different types of instruments that kids can play.
パパの真似をしてドンドン...娘も一生懸命太鼓をたたいています。
Our baby girl was playing the drum, like her daddy :)
小さな傘などが天井からはぶるさがっていて、梅雨シーズンの飾り付けがされていました。
まだまだ写真のとりきれない遊び場所、色々ありましたよ。
Since it's a rainy reason in Japan, they decorated the room with umbrellas. There were many more places and toys for kids to play with, but I could not take so many pictures...sorry!
近くには色々なレストランもあるけれど、お弁当持参でも館内で食べられる場所もあり、赤ちゃんでも遊べる場所もあり、外部分にも出られて別の遊びができるようになっていたり...と幅広い年齢の子供達が遊べるし、その日によって色々なイベントも用意されているので、楽しめました。
今日は週末ということもあってか、午前中はまあまあだったけど、午後からは結構込んで来ていたので、空いているときがいいなら朝一番か平日がおすすめかな？
ちなみに入場料は娘は無料で大人は一日５００円。その日の間なら出入り自由でしたよ。
FYI: There are different types of restaurant near this place, though you are welcome to bring your own lunch to eat inside too. Also, they have a space for younger babies, such as babies who are only a few months old, to play as well; as well as outside spaces for older kids to run around and play. Thus, a from a few months old and up to middle school aged kids can enjoy participating in the various activities here. The day we went there was a weekend, so it was not too crowded in the morning, but more people came in the late afternoon. I would recommend going there in the morning or on weekdays, if possible. Also, the fee for an adult was 500 yen (about $6.00) with free reentry; it was free for our baby girl this time.
