"babycal" is recommended for traveling with baby

On top of the large amount of luggage you have to carry when traveling, it can be a hassle to bring a stroller from home along with your suitcase.

I need a stroller in case my baby falls asleep or doesn't want to walk, but I want to travel light.

For those people, we recommend the service "babycal".

With babycal, you can rent a stroller from rental spots all over Japan, when you need it and for as long as you need it.

Features of babycal

There are 211 rental locations 

They can be rented at a variety of locations, from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south, including airports, stations, hotels, and tourist facilities.

Available for up to 7 days

You can rent a stroller at the airport on the first day of your trip and return it when you leave, so you can travel light without having to worry about luggage restrictions on the plane!

Fee

Prices vary depending on the location, but generally start at 250 yen for the first hour, and then 100 yen for every 30 minutes thereafter.

Even if you use it for a long period of time, there is a maximum charge of 1,500 yen for 12 hours, so you can use it with peace of mind.

Hygienic and safe stroller

Strollers used will be cleaned and managed by staff.

Please rest assured that we provide a rental service to ensure hygienic and safe use.

Many facilities use strollers made by Combi, a Japanese manufacturer. These strollers are foldable and lightweight, so they are less likely to get dirty and are hygienic. The model can be used by babies from 1 month to 48 months of age.
