- Only for individual use
Children up to age 18 registered as residents of the city (until March 31 of the fiscal year they turn 18) can use city-owned sports and cultural facilities without paying the children's fee. Pools, gyms, bouldering facilities, the history museum, the planetarium, archery ranges and others are covered, with no income limit. To use it, receive a "Children's Fee Exemption Card" (nicknamed "Shinaka") by online application, and show the card at the facility counter every time. It takes about 2 weeks from application to issuance, and if you forget the card, it is not free. It is free only for individual use, and people who only study or work in the city are not covered. It started on July 1, 2026.
