About the "Children's Kasumigaseki Tour Day"
The Children's Kasumigaseki Tour Day is an initiative implemented in collaboration with Digital Agency and other ministries and agencies. During the summer vacation period, it provides children with opportunities to deepen their understanding of society and to learn about government measures, with the aim of promoting interaction between parents and children.
At Digital Agency, under the theme of "Children's Visiting Day - Let's see, hear and experience Digital Agency!", the event was held at the venue for the first time (it was held online until last fiscal year) and various sections were set up. Children participated in four sessions over two days.
My Number Card Health Insurance Card Experience Corner
We installed a card reader identical to those used at medical institutions. Visitors brought their My Number Card, which was read by the card reader and used for facial recognition. In this way, visitors could actually experience the use of My Number Card as a health insurance card.
Digital Agency Quiz Corner
We have set up a quiz corner that can be enjoyed using tablets. Quizzes on Digital Agency, My Number, and My Number Card were prepared in three courses for each grade level, making learning fun for participants of all ages.
Myna-chan Photo Corner
We set up a photo booth where visitors can take photos with Myna-chan. Participants held Myna-chan's stick in the shape of "1" and enjoyed taking commemorative photos.
Avatar Experience Area
Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (ATR) and the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN) collaborated to present Mr. Kono, Minister for Digital Transformation,'s cybernetic avatar. The avatar delivered the opening address for a total of four times, enlivening the venue.
Q & A session with Digital Agency executives
At each meeting, the venue was moved to the offices of Mr. Kono, Minister for Digital Transformation,, Ishikawa-City State Minister for Digital Transformation, Tsuchida-City Parliamentary Vice-Minister for Digital Transformation, and Mr. Asanuma, Vice-Minister for Digital Transformation, Chief Officer of Digital Agency, respectively, and an opportunity was set up for children to ask questions directly to Digital Agency executives. Many questions were asked by the children, and questions were also asked to the children, making for a productive exchange.
Thank you very much for the many applications for Digital Agency's "Children's Kasumigaseki Tour Day" in FY 2024. I would also like to thank those who participated again for coming all the way to Digital Agency in the heat.
