Information Salon

We gathered a variety of information regarding nurturing children

which is all accessible and viewable to our visitors.

You can feel free to stop by and even bring your stroller inside

to look for useful information.

A lot of information is available on a PC and

there is a “play area” for children while you search.

Child Nurturing Advisement

You can casually seek advisement at any time

regarding any concern or question that you

face throughout your child nurturing (‘casual advisement’).

Once every week, you can take specialized advisory service

if you wish to seek advice privately (‘specific advisement’).

We have a tatami room where you can bring your kids

as well as a floor room where you can bring your stroller in.

Feel free to use these private rooms for your consultation session.

We organize events for those who support nurturing children
