Figure 1.--Here in May 2009 a boy is helping a boy who has just moved to Tokyo walk to his new school. Here they are crossing the street. Notice the caps and chin straps as well as the satchels. They are so dully packed that there are bags attached to them and others carried by hand..

Because so many Japanese children walk to school, mew children have to be shown how to get to school. This includes children at the beginning of the year as well as children who move during the school year. Of course this is especially important for the younger children, nut even older children need a little help. Parents can help by walking the route with their children. Neighbors and new friends can help by walkig along with them. Many Japanese children walk to school in small groups. I fon't think that the schools play aole here, but perhaps Japanese readers can tell us more about this.
