To tourists who are kindly considering breast milk donation in Japan

Dear Tourists who are kindly considering breast milk donation in Japan,

Thank you very much for your interest in the activities of The Nippon Foundation Human Milk Bank and the donor registration.

We can only accept breast milk donation after a thorough onboarding process, which will take over a month.

We’re afraid that you might not be able to complete your donor registration during your short visit to Japan.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Human milk banks in Japan provide donor milk only to those babies born under 1,500 grams (3.3 lbs) at NICUs. Thus, please understand our strict standard for donor registration.

Thank you very much for your kind understanding.

Sincerely,
The Nippon Foundation Human Milk Bank
