Vacancy information of nursery schools in Japan

In Japan, a facility that takes care of preschoolers instead of working parents is called a nursery school. It has the same meaning as day care centers in the United States and the United Kingdom.

A nursery school is a very important facility for dual-income families. In recent years, the demand for nursery schools has continued to increase. As a result, the nursery school is full and more families are not able to enter.

On this site, the congestion situation of the nursery school is posted for each railway line. When considering a move, you can easily check the status of the nursery school in your desired area. Please use it when considering a nursery school in Japan.
