In Yamanashi Prefecture, consultations are available for all kinds of concerns, not only about fertility activities and infertility treatment but also about issues related to adolescence, pregnancy/childbirth, infertility/recurrent miscarriage, miscarriage/stillbirth, menopause, and sexual issues (including consultations on sexual acts such as contraception and sexually transmitted infections, unexpected pregnancies, mental healthcare, and communication between couples).

Since the Famione Premium Plan is available free of charge in Yamanashi Prefecture, unlimited text and call consultations are available. With a system that allows online consultations at any time and professional advice on necessary information, we will support the health of all prefectural residents.

Voices from Users

"When I've consulted about fertility before, I often received rather dry and concise answers, which made me brace myself, so I was glad to receive such empathetic responses. Please let me consult again if I have any concerns. Thank you very much."

"You always carefully understood my disorganized sentences one by one and gave appropriate advice, which truly saved my heart. Thank you."

"Knowing that others are going through the same painful experiences gave me a lot of empathy and made me feel relieved that I'm not alone. Hearing about concrete practices was also very helpful. I would love to ask for your help again. Thank you."

"I was told to express what I wanted to talk about most at that moment, and talking through my muddled thoughts and feeling understood made me feel refreshed. Thank you."

"It was my first consultation. Explaining what was happening in my mind and body with evidence made me realize that it wasn't because my heart was weak, which was a relief. 20 minutes flew by. I'd like to ask for your help again."

Examples of initiatives with Yamanashi Prefecture in Reiwa 7 (2025)

Yamanashi Prefecture was selected for the "9th TRY!YAMANASHI! Demonstration Experiment Support Project," which fully supports demonstration experiments conducted throughout Yamanashi Prefecture. To prevent mental health issues caused by childcare, accommodation plans with childcare services were offered at partner ryokans (Japanese inns) in Yamanashi Prefecture, aiming to support couples with children aged 4 months to 3 years.

Comments from Participants (Excerpts)

"I had hardly ever been apart from my child, so I was surprised at how much lighter my heart felt just by being apart for a short time. While my child was being looked after, I could slowly enjoy a bath and a meal, which usually feel rushed, and it reminded me of the time when it was just the two of us as a couple. Nevertheless, it was also deeply moving that we ended up talking about our child."
