Let's Enjoy Summer to the Fullest! Video Released on "Children's Outdoor Play in Summer" - Expert Interview Edition -

Tokyo Metropolis is working to support the healthy growth of children by implementing heat countermeasures from both hard and soft aspects, so that children can fully enjoy "experiential activities and play" even during the hot summer months.

As part of this initiative, we will sequentially release awareness-raising content from the perspective of "enjoying outdoor play in summer while taking heat countermeasures."

We have now released the first installment: an interview video with a pediatrician and a childcare advisor. The video can be viewed on the website and official YouTube channel of the Office of Children's Policy Coordination, and more. As the summer heat intensifies, please take a look when you go out or play outdoors with your children.
