Family Resources Tokyo Parents Can Trust

Family resources Tokyo households need are often scattered across national, metropolitan and ward websites. This hub organizes practical starting points for parents and families moving to or living in Tokyo.

Official services and benefits

Eligibility, payments and application procedures can differ by ward and household circumstances. Confirm requirements with your ward office and the responsible Japanese authority before applying.

Emergency contacts

  • Ambulance and fire: 119
  • Police emergency: 110
  • For non-urgent health concerns, consult an appropriate clinic or official advice service

Language support and availability can vary. In immediate danger, do not rely on website content.

Practical checklists

TokyoParents will develop checklists for pregnancy preparation, birth registration, daycare applications, school enrollment, emergency planning and moving with children. Each resource will identify its scope and last review date.

Education and language support

Use our Education hub for international and Japanese school guidance, preschool information, bilingual learning and STEM enrichment. Confirm admissions rules directly with each institution.

Healthcare guidance

Our Healthcare hub covers pediatric, dental, vaccination, mental health and emergency topics. General information does not replace professional care.

Relocation support

The Moving to Tokyo hub explains housing, family costs, transportation, school enrollment and childcare registration. Processes vary, so use the guides to prepare before contacting official services.
