Mie Prefecture issues “Omoiyari Parking lot” usage certificates to people with disabilities, elderly people who need nursing care, expectant mothers, injured people, and others who have difficulty walking.

When using the Omoiyari Parking Lot, please post your usage card on the rearview mirror, etc., so that it can be easily seen from the outside of the car.

From April 1, 2023, we will extend the period during which pregnant and nursing mothers can use the facility so that they can go out with their infants without worry.

Before extension: From the acquisition of the mother and child health handbook(boshi kenko techo) to 1 year and 6 months after childbirth

After extension: From the acquisition of the Mother and Child Health Handbook(boshi kenko techo) to 2 years after childbirth

In the case of multiple birth (twins, triplets, etc.), up to 3 years after birth.
