On November 17th, 2025 (Mon), university students from Tokushima had the valuable opportunity to visit the Consumer Affairs Agency (CAA) Headquarters in Tokyo, and personally present to Commissioner Horii the recommendations (document) compiled by them.
During the discussion meeting that followed, the students proposed a series of practical and innovative ideas, including the further expansion of ‘ethical consumption’ education for the youth, and the enhancement of sales services in ‘transportation-deprived areas’ (an increasingly serious issue nationwide).
The students also received valuable feedback from the relevant officers of the CAA, making it a very meaningful experience for them.
We hope this experience can help the younger generation develop diverse perspectives and foster interest in policy formation, particularly in the area of consumer policy.
Further details regarding this event will be published on the official website later. Please check back for the full public release!
On January 14th, 2026 (Wed), the Union of Kansai Governments and the Consumer Affairs Agency (CAA) will collaborate to hold a workshop on consumer accident prevention, with the aim of protecting the lives and health of consumers of all ages, from children to the elderly.
The workshop will welcome representatives from the CAA, who will provide an easy-to-understand explanation of their efforts to prevent accidents, while including the latest trends.
In addition, they will report on detailed investigation results and future policies in response to the results, focusing on the “Fall Accident Investigation” conducted by the Consumer Safety Investigation Commission (CSIC).
We hope you can join us and take this valuable opportunity to gain useful information on accident prevention.
