Why You Should Visit
The Nara edition of a nationwide family festival run by the parenting magazine Little Mama. Aimed at expectant parents and families with babies and preschoolers, it packs a day with stage programs such as play-song concerts and baby massage, crawling and toddling kids' races, photo sessions, and a stamp rally around company booths that ends in a prize draw. It is held in indoor halls with stroller access, nursing rooms and diaper-changing areas, so it works on rainy days too. Admission is free, but advance registration is required.
