Maybe we will go there often.

I went to the nursing room (1F), it
has private compartments, and I felt very comfortable.

WOW!!! A Babies R Us in Tsukuba?!?! I am soooo excited! I hope it is close to us. I can go to Babies R Us in Utsunomyia and it is about one hour by car from our house. But there is much more in Tsukuba for us and we go there more often, so...
Kumi, Thank you so much for all the info you provide for us!! It is really helpful and we have enjoyed some of the parks you talked about! It is great to get to know this stuff!! ^-^

Hi, Laura!
I'm also glad that BabiesRus comes to our town. Yesterday, we went there, and bought a cup for my son.I found the shop has the best range of goods in Tsukuba.I'm glad that you don't have to go Utsunomiya any more.
Enjoy shopping!
