Admin’s Note

This weather forecast requires particular attention. We need to be cautious about heavy rain in northern Japan and the nationwide heat wave; both situations call for appropriate measures. In particular, it’s important to remain conscious of heatstroke prevention in our daily lives. By the way, Chako’s reactions are so genuine and adorable! I want to make sure we educate the children about the dangers of the weather so they can take the right actions.
