The new measure, set to take effect on October 1st, marks a significant first for Japan by establishing smartphone usage guidelines applicable to all residents. Notably, no penalties will be imposed for any violations of these guidelines.
The primary goal of this ordinance is to ensure that children get sufficient sleep and to encourage more family communication. To support this, the measure introduces specific cut-off times for minors: elementary school students and younger are advised to stop using smartphones by 9 PM, while junior high school students and older (under 18 years old) are advised to cease usage by 10 PM.
By promoting healthier smartphone habits, the ordinance aims to foster better well-being and stronger family connections across the country.
