■About Pamatoko■
Yokohama City has created "Pamatoko," a one-stop shop for everything you need for child-rearing. Through your smartphone, you can access procedures, information, and services related to child-rearing, from pregnancy and preschool to school-age. By reducing the burden of child-rearing, we aim to create an environment where everyone can have peace of mind and give birth and raise children in Yokohama.

■The Thoughts Behind Pamatoko■
The "hama" in "Yokohama" (Yokohama) is a play on the words "papa" (daddy) and "mama" (mother), representing "papa," "mama," and "ko" (child). We envision Yokohama as a city where parents and children can raise their children smoothly and comfortably. And we hope that "Pamatoko" will grow alongside you, so that parents, mothers, and children can achieve more through child-rearing.
