Children's Tour Day in Kasumigaseki

The “Children's Tour Day in Kasumigaseki”, which is jointly organized by ministries and agencies within the Japanese government, is a yearly summer event that allows children to visit government offices. The Office of Policy Planning and Coordination on Territory and Sovereignty of the Cabinet Secretariat started to join the event in 2013 by setting up its own exhibition booth, with the hope of providing visiting children with an opportunity to learn about and to take interest in the situations concerning Japan’s territorial integrity.
