That's partly why we left. Not to mention, we were in a small apartment on the 29th floor of a building in Shinjuku. Kids couldn't really do much but stay inside all day. We moved back to the Seattle area and the kids are a lot happier (they are only 5 & 7) now that they can run through the neighborhood as they want -- open fields, forests, tails, parks. Quality of life is a lot better for a family in Seattle compared to Tokyo.
