Baby Bookstore and BabyTech® Initiatives
Amidst changes in social conditions and the environment, issues related to child rearing are becoming more diverse. Akachan Honpo will communicate BabyTech to those involved in child-rearing and provide opportunities for them to experience it firsthand. We believe that by proposing new approaches to solving the problems and anxieties of child-rearing with the help of technology, family life, including child-rearing, will become more convenient, enjoyable, and richer.
We are challenging "new child-rearing" with our eyes on the future.
