The new measure, set to take effect on October 1st, marks the first time in Japan that smartphone usage guidelines have been established for all residents. Notably, no penalties will be imposed for any violations of this ordinance.
The primary goal of the policy is to ensure children get sufficient sleep while also encouraging increased communication within families. To support this, the ordinance sets specific smartphone cut-off times for 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 promoting healthier smartphone habits, the measure aims to foster better sleep patterns and strengthen family interactions.
