January 2024, an increase of 708 in four years. We addressedkindergartens and nursery schools because we believe that the numberof preschool-aged foreign children is also increasing.

However, children in households with annual incomes equivalent to less than 3.6
million yen and third and later children in all households are also exempt from paying
