On-campus Nurseries
There are four nurseries within the campus of UTokyo available for all faculties (Hongo Keyaki, Shirokane Himawari, Komaba Mukunoki and Kashiwa Donguri), which all opened in AY2008 to provide childcare services to meet the specific needs of the university, such as by accepting the children of researchers and students who wish to return to work or school in the middle of an academic year.
The University of Tokyo Hospital also runs a nursery for specified faculties (The University of Tokyo Hospital Ichou Nursery School), which was established in AY2007.

Leaflet released: Request for supporting graduate students with childcare responsibilities
Many graduate students experience pregnancy, childbirth, and raising children during their graduate studies. To promote understanding of the challenges faced by graduate students with childcare responsibilities and to foster a more supportive research environment in which they are not forced to choose between their academic work and family responsibilities, the Office for Gender Equity at the UTokyo Center for Coproduction of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity has developed and distributed a leaflet titled “Supporting Graduate Students with Childcare Responsibilities.” The leaflet has been shared with principal investigators (PIs), faculty members, and others who regularly work with graduate students. Through this initiative, we hope to support the continued career development of women researchers and help create an environment in which graduate students can pursue their research.
