The measure, set to take effect on October 1st, marks the first time in Japan that smartphone usage guidelines will apply to all residents. Notably, no penalties will be imposed for any violations of the ordinance.
The primary aim of this new regulation is to ensure that children get sufficient sleep and to promote increased communication within families. To support this goal, the ordinance establishes specific cut-off times for smartphone use among minors.
Elementary school students and younger are advised to stop using smartphones by 9 PM. For junior high school students and older minors (under 18 years old), the recommended cut-off time is 10 PM.
By setting these guidelines, the measure hopes to foster healthier habits and strengthen family interactions across the country.
