Minister Ogura visited museums in Tokyo that are implementing the "Children's Fast Track" initiative, which allows people with children to preferentially enter facilities, and expressed his intention to actively encourage private facilities in the future, saying that they have been well received by users.
"Children's Fast Track" is an initiative that gives priority to people with children at facilities and other facilities, and the government wants to expand it as part of measures to address the declining birthrate.
On November 1, Minister of State for Children's Policy Ogura visited the National Museum of Nature and Science in Taito Ward, Tokyo, where this initiative is being implemented during the long holiday period at the request of the government.
At the museum, a dedicated lane was set up at the entrance of the permanent exhibition where children and people with children could enter preferentially, and those who used it frankly felt that it had become easier to enter, and expressed their requests such as "I am grateful that children are given priority at restaurants and other places."
After the visit, Minister Ogura told reporters, "We have received many requests from private leisure facilities and banks to introduce the system, so we would like to actively promote coordination with related organizations.
